“When did you last heard that a mayor apologizes to the family of a knife who allegedly tried to kill several people?” Choe asked. “What about the people who are almost killed?”

“Boston, I’m going to say this as simply as possible: you urgently need a new mayor. Believe me,” said Conservative Commentator Charlie Kirk in another X post.

Fox News -employee Joe Concha, a former resident of Boston, also weighed the incident.

“How exactly did Boston vote for this?” Concha wrote. “I lived in the Back Bay Area. It was one of the safest parts of the city. And she offers condolences ????”

“Condoloses of the mayor of Boston – wait for a knife -waving man trying to kill people!” Rep. Nancy Mace, RS.C., said. “Fortunately, this man was put in his spurs by a brave law enforcement officer.”

The incident then came to Boston officials, including Wu and Cox, criticism of conservatives for the implementation of the city policy of the sanctuary. Catherine Vitale, a former candidate from the city council, told “Fox and Friends” last week that she believes that Wu does not care “for crime in Boston.

“There is a lot of crime almost every day. There is a shooting. We don’t always hear about it, but we hear them because we are there. I don’t think the majority of crime is even reported. People are not arrested. Costs are not pressed on people who plunder stores,” said Vitale.
