From the Daily Caller: Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said on Monday that Somalis are to thank for “every achievement” that the city has ever had.
Somalis have gained national attention after several were charged with stealing over $1 billion from Minnesota’s social programs, including those intended to feed poor children. Wu claimed that the Somalians are responsible for every positive thing that has happened in Boston.
“You cannot talk about any achievement that the city of Boston has had in safety, jobs, and economic development, in education, without talking about the Somali community that has lifted our city up. We are proud and we are grateful for our Somali community and for our Somali American neighbors. Boston and the country are clear that hate has no place in our society,” Wu said.
“We will use every attack to actually strengthen and expand the services available, to empower and work alongside our community members who are already doing so much good in the world and setting the example for the rest of the country,” Wu continued.

Wu is being blasted on social media.
One X user asked, “Can you list those achievements here for everyone?”
“Name one,” another person demanded.
“So now Somalians built Boston too? 🤣🤣🫵🏻🫵🏻🤣🤣,” another X user mocked.
“This statement by Wu is nonsense,” declared journalist Paul Szypula.
“I’m pretty sure Boston accomplished quite a bit long before Somalians arrived on the scene,” another X user wrote.
