In defense of Mayor Wu, yes, she overhyped the administration’s success at Mass and Cass, but that is what Mayors do.

The problem lies with a bug-eyed, hysterical media who is so needy, self congratulatory, and limited by groupthink they can only, based on reflex, applaud the first woman, POC Mayor of Boston. They need a Xanax.

Mayor Wu will eventually, through trial and error (or fixing a bridge), figure out Mass and Cass.

I feel like you have 1/2 this right. The media did overhyped Mayor Wu because she’s Asian and because she’s a woman.

I don’t know if anything else here is right. And I don’t know if that’s gonna benefit her or hurt her in the long run but it’s also what helped get her elected. Boston is one of most liberal cities in America with a racist history and local media and politicians were yearning for a progressive person to take office. She just might’ve gotten in over her head
