Boston Mayor Michelle Wu offered &#8220;condolences&#8221; for the death of a knife-wielding attacker, sparking backlash online.
An off-duty police officer killed who police said was an attempted stabber during an altercation in a Chick-fil-A on Boylston Street in Boston on Saturday. The attacker tried to stab two people before he was shot.
Wu addressed the situation in remarks on Saturday, offering her “condolences” over the death of the knife-wielding man.
“My condolences and all of our thoughts are with family of the individual whose life has been lost,” Wu said at the start of her remarks during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQFon2PL4U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a>.
Police said the knife attacker was shot after two people ran inside the restaurant being chased by the man with the knife. An off-duty officer inside the restaurant told the man to drop his knife. The man refused, and the officer shot him. The man later died at a hospital.
Wu’s comments sparked backlash online after an account on X called “Bostonians Against Mayor Wu” posted a clip of her remarks online.

“How exactly did Boston vote for this again? I lived in the Back Bay area. It was one of the safest parts of the city. And she’s offering condolences????” Fox News contributor Joe Concha <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQFon2PL4U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale said Wu’s comments exemplified deeper issues within the Democratic Party.
“When you vote for the far left, it’s unequivocally a vote for protecting criminals first,” Lonsdale <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQFon2PL4U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>. “Progressive-D is a vote for the massive grift machine that weaponizes empathy and naive people to plunder, and hates everything great and noble and successful about our civilization.”
Democrat New York city council member Robert Holden said his “party has lost the plot” over Wu’s remarks.
“Democrats have become the party of criminals. Here’s the mayor of Boston offering condolences to the criminal who was trying to stab multiple people and refused to drop his weapon when ordered by an off-duty cop,” Holden <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUQFon2PL4U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a>. “My party has lost the plot — this is madness.”
