Top Boston conservative slams Mayor Michelle Wu for her no whites 'WU KLUX KLAN' holiday party: Says there'd have been rioting and looting had races been reversed

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been slammed by one of the city's top conservatives for holding a no whites holiday party whose attendees he branded the 'Wu Klux Klan'.

In a blistering op-ed for the Boston Herald, Howie Carr slammed Wednesday's 'electeds of color' event held by the Democrat mayor - and says there'd have been anarchy in the city's streets had the races been reversed. 

'What if a white mayor had held a whites-only party at a city-owned building, after specifically disinviting all the non-white members of the City Council?' the veteran radio host wrote.

'It would have been the end of the world, a national story for days if not weeks on end. On the night of the party, there would have been rioting, or looting and violence.

Carr also highlighted exclusive DailyMail.com photos showing guests attending the party - and asked why, if the bash was no big deal, they'd chosen to cover their faces. 

Had the event been held by a Republican, every GOP politician across the nation would have been asked to denounce it, Carr added, as he accused 'most of of the state-run media' in Massachusetts of looking the other way.

'After all, Michelle Wu was just trying to put the “party” back into apartheid,' the conservative said.

Carr tore into 'state media' for ignoring or soft-soaping the Wu scandal, without naming names.

The liberal Boston Globe - which has regularly hailed Wu's achievements - ignored the story for a full 24 hours, even as outlets across the US and world picked up the scandal.

A bizarre 'explainer' piece titled 'What to know about Mayor Wu’s ‘Electeds of Color’ holiday party and why it’s caused such a stir' was published Thursday afternoon.

The article sought to downplay the scandal by quoting multiple local lawmakers who defended Wu's segregated bash - and only one who branded it 'divisive.'  

The story has since been flooded with hundreds of comments from readers accusing the paper of trying its best to avoid covering the story because of its alleged pro-Wu stance. 

One comment read: 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......here's the article i been looking for!!....nice spin there Globe.'

Another added: '36 hours later, after every media in the country (and other countries) cover it extensively, the BG decides that not covering the Wu snafu is blatantly biased - even by their standards. Better late than never, I suppose - but the damage is done. Shameful.'

A third wrote: 'The Globe as usual covering for its lib protectorates.......smh'

Back at the Herald, columnist Carr also pointed out that in 1979, city Councilor Freddy Langone held hearings to investigate the mayor's use of Parkman House, the venue of Wu's no-whites gathering, to hold parties for contributors. 

He also pondered on the definition of an 'elected of color,' writing: 'if Democrats can’t define what a woman is, how can they possibly define what constitutes an “elected of color?”

'Consider Gigi Coletta, the city councilor from East Boston. Her City Hall website mentions her “Italian and Mexican heritage.”

'So did Gigi get an invite as an EOC, or was she stopped at the front door under the Democrat party’s traditional “one-drop” rule of banning anyone from the festivities who’s not 100 percent… whatever?

'Or did the Wu Klux Klan split the difference for Gigi and allow her to attend only half the party?'

Wu, Boston's first nonwhite mayor, was unapologetic outside the event on Wednesday night, defending it as she claimed 'some of the folks who are concerned might also just not have all the information.'

However, the Democrat did not clarify what additional information the public was missing, while tacitly confirming that the party was indeed as advertised. 

The mayor's office has insisted they did not use taxpayer money for the event. However, the party did use city resources, because it was held at the city-owned Parkman House. 

Wu said there are countless examples of representative groups based on race, with both citing the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, DC, as an example.

She added that her office also held holiday parties 'that the entire city council and all of our elected colleagues have been invited to.'

News of the party emerged when a city hall employee sent out the invite to all 13 city councilors by mistake - as the event was not supposed to include any of the white elected officials.

'I did send that to everyone by accident, and I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused,' wrote director of City Council relations, Denise DosSantos.

The Boston Herald reported there were seven white council members, who were not invited - and six people of color who were.

'This is a group that has been in place for many, many years,' Wu said. 'We celebrate all kinds of connection and identity and culture and heritage in the city.

'Just yesterday we hosted our official City Hall Hanukkah lighting.

'We have had tree lightings, and we want to be a city where everyone's identity is embraced, and that there are spaces and communities we can help support.'

Wu's spokesman Ricardo Patron said on Wednesday the mayor was asked to host the annual party by the Electeds of Color group, and the host and location changes each year.

Patron said the party was just one of a number that were happening over the festive season, and Wu was planning a larger holiday party next week for all her cabinet members, city councilors and the entire legislature.
