Democratic Boston Mayor Michelle Wu delivered political jabs at the expense of her constituents and fellow officials at the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day breakfast Sunday.
Typically a laughing affair, Massachusetts officials attended the event where Wu took shots at her political friends and foes, the Boston Globe reported.
“This past winter was pretty intense: trial by snow, trial by firefighters union,” Wu joked. “I’m getting used to dealing with problems that are expensive, disruptive and white. I’m talking about snowflakes, I mean, snowstorms, snowflakes.”
Wu’s comments about “white” problems came shortly after a joke about her rocky start as mayor and the battle with a Boston firefighter’s union and others pushing back against her decision to require the COVID-19 vaccine for the city.

“I am proud to be the first mom to be elected to this office in Boston. It comes with the good and the bad. This morning I woke up once again to the sound of children throwing a tantrum,” she said of protesters outside her home. “They’re banging drums, blowing whistles, and shouting on their megaphones that I have to stop being a woke millennial. I agree. At the crack of dawn, I’d much rather be a sleeping millennial.”
