Yet another example proving that DEMOCRATS are the most heinous RACISTS in America.
The Democratic mayor of Boston has sparked outrage after inviting city councilors to a holiday party intended only for 'electeds of color.'
Michelle Wu's invitation for the December 13 'Electeds of Color Holiday Party' appeared to have been sent out to all councilors in error by her aide, Denise DosSantos.
DosSantos followed up the email 15 minutes later apologizing for the invite, clarifying that it was only meant for the city's six councilors of color. The seven white council members were not welcome.
The event was revealed after Mayor Wu's director of City Council relations Denise DosSantos (pictured) accidentally invited the entire chamber instead of only 'electeds of color'
'I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow,' DosSantos, a black woman, wrote. '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.'
The only thing DosSantos is apologizing for is that she got caught. Typical Democrat ... she's not sorry for her reprehensible behavior; just that she unintentionally outted herself - and her boss.
There was no apology for actually planning to host a racially segregated party. Wu was slammed by outgoing City Councilor Frank Baker, who told the Boston Herald that it was 'unfortunate and divisive.'

The move quickly divided Boston's city council, with some saying they were not offended by the party while others questioned Wu's judgement.
Wu was elected Mayor of Boston in November 2021, becoming the city's first female and first Asian American mayor.
Michael McCormack, an attorney and former five-term Boston city councilor, said Wu's hosting an exclusive party is not typical of her office, and argued former mayors Tom Menino and Ray Flynn would have invited the entire chamber.
'The problem is that Boston and race, unfortunately, are synonymous,' McCormack said.
'I'm just hoping it was a mistake. It's not something that anyone in the mayor's office should be proud of.'
However, Wu's spokesman Ricardo Patron said on Wednesday that the mayor was asked to host the annual party by the Electeds of Color group, and the host and location changes each year.
He 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.
Baker said he didn't see the additional, exclusive party as a 'good move' given heightened tensions in the city council, but said he was not personally offended.

'I find it unfortunate that with the temperature the way it is, that we would further that division,' he said, adding: 'I don't really get offended too easily.
'To offend me, you're going to have to do much more than not invite me to a party.'
Others defended the move, with black city councilor Brian Worrell saying the holiday party was an example of Boston's government reflecting 'all kinds of specific groups.'
'We make space and spaces for all kinds of specific groups in the city and city government,' Worrell told the Boston Herald. 'This is no different, and the Elected Officials of Color has been around for more than a decade.'
Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, in an email to DosSantos and Wu's team, said the email invite 'should not offend anyone and there is absolutely no confusion.'
Feeling there were 'no need for apologies at all', Fernandes Anderson said: 'Just like there are groups that meet based on shared interests or cultural backgrounds, it's completely natural for elected officials of color to gather for a holiday celebration.'
She continued: 'Many groups celebrate and come together in various ways, and it's not about excluding anyone. Instead, it's about creating spaces for like-minded individuals to connect and support each other.'
How terribly pathetic. So, if the mayor held a Christmas party for whites only ... "a group that meets based on shared interests or cultural backgrounds," as you say ... then you racists would have absolutely no problem with that, whatsoever, right? RIGHT???!!!
Such ridiculous liars.
