Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, is facing criticism for “Nixonian tactics” after her administration admitted to creating a list of her most vocal critics and providing it to local authorities.

“The list was made in response to a request from the Boston Police Department after the Mayor had been harassed and physically intimidated by individuals for several months outside her home, at city functions such as the annual neighborhood parks coffee hours, and at other public events,” Wu spokesman Ricardo Patron said in a statement to the Boston Herald.

The acknowledgment by the administration that it had compiled the document came after the list was uncovered in an email obtained through a public records request by Wu’s opponents, the outlet noted.

The tactics used by the administration raise concern over whether Wu and her administration are attempting to silence or intimidate her critics, many of whom have protested outside of her home.

Someone got an enemy list.

Just goes to show they can’t accept criticism. They get upset when their policies aren’t working and the taxpayers complain.
But they think it’s alright for them to harass their opponents  :thatsright:

And to that point, I noticed the framing of someone calling her actions "Nixonian".

Apparently, someone couldn't even criticize her without bringing up Nixon.
