Regrets, Maura Healey’s had just a few, identical to Frank Sinatra, however then once more, too few to say. Except for one, apparently.
Back within the late spring of 2020, in the course of the Black Lives Matter-antifa rioting-looting-arson-murder spree throughout the nation, Maura determined to go full-blown woke.
This is what she mentioned, in her ready textual content of a speech earlier than the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce:
“Yes, America is burning, but that’s how forests grow.”
She was so darned pleased with her fight-the-power flip of phrase that she even tweeted it out.
Her Che Guevara-esque second hasn’t aged effectively, to say the least. So this week she went to Commonwealth Magazine, a semi-official organ of the native woke institution, and issued essentially the most insincere of apologies.
“I wish I could do it over again because I would not have used that phrase to make my point, which was certainly not about violence in the streets — ”
Let me see if I’ve this straight: she was celebrating “burning” — which is arson — however she wasn’t advocating violence? So is arson now a “nonviolent” crime? Who is she channeling right here, Ricardo “Let ‘em Go” Arroyo?
“– or anything related to what was happening in terms of protests around George Floyd’s murder.”
Sorry, Maura, this doesn’t cross the odor take a look at, and never as a result of George Floyd was not “murdered.” We all recall that state-run media claimed the looting-and-shooting riots had been “mostly peaceful.” But no one ever actually believed that, particularly after watching the town completely trashed on stay TV. And they definitely don’t consider it now.
It’s simply that instances have modified. Back in these days, Monica Cannon-Grant was lionized by the credulous trust-funders of the Globe and dying unread month-to-month magazines. Now the proprietor of the native BLM franchise is below a federal indictment (no state fees after all, as a result of Maura doesn’t do circumstances that may embarrass Democrats).
Maura made her power-to-the-people speech days after lawless mobs of shiftless leftist lunatics shot up police vehicles on Tremont Street, fired into occupied buildings throughout from the Common, looted shops in Copley Place and broke home windows and customarily vandalized buildings up and down Boylston and Newbury streets, from the Public Garden all the way in which to Massachusetts Avenue.
It wasn’t looting, although, it was simply undocumented purchasing. Reparations on the fly. Millions upon thousands and thousands of {dollars} in injury, tried homicide of cops, and Maura celebrated all of it with absolute glee by saying “that’s how forests grow.”
I suppose her feedback had been … taken out of context, because the Democrats all the time put it. That’s not who she is, in addition they say. If anybody was offended blah-blah-blah … .
And after all you recognize what the native Republicans are doing with this mea culpa.
They’re pouncing! They’re weaponizing! They’re seizing!
This itsy-bitsy apology obtained me questioning if Maura regrets anything she’s mentioned during the last eight years.
For occasion, Maura is a giant, huge supporter of transgender rights. Back in 2016, there was a so-called lavatory invoice pending within the Legislature, and Maura after all was rabidly in favor of permitting males — excuse me, trans-women — to loiter and lurk in girls’ restrooms.
Given the variety of heinous crimes which have been dedicated by these, uh, self-identifying ladies, each in Massachusetts and nationwide, a number of the witnesses on the listening to had been involved about questions of safety.
Maura Healey, who’s accompanied by a State Police element wherever she goes, was appalled at this bigotry, this transphobia.
“If you’ve got that much of a problem,” Maura hissed on the deplorables, “hold it!”
To at the present time, some folks nonetheless name Maura “Hold It!” Healey.
Then there’s the sordid case of Sonja Farak, the jailbird ex-state chemist whose falsified drug-lab assessments railroaded lots of of defendants, lots of them nonwhite, into jail.
Maura Healey and her predecessor, Martha Coakley, tried to cowl up the scandal — don’t take my phrase for it, Superior Court Judge Richard Carey wrote a scathing 127-page opinion of what he described because the lawyer common’s dealing with of the racist frame-ups — “a depth of deceptiveness that constitutes a fraud upon the court.”
I do know I’ve talked about this earlier than, however the different day, Maura tried to elucidate away her incendiary, irresponsible rhetoric from 2020 by saying that she was merely acknowledging how her workplace had fallen quick, because the journal put it, in addressing the “systematic racism” within the U.S.
Judge Carey outlined how at one level, Healey’s workplace tried to broom a grand-jury report on the commonwealth’s staggering corruption by submitting a “Motion to Impound Grand Jury Materials and Report.”
Then Healey’s workplace filed a second movement “to impound its request for its motion of Non-Dissemination of Information.”
So Maura wished to cowl up her request to cowl up the try to cover the proof of the framing of defendants of colour.
Does Maura … remorse any of that? Apparently nobody has ever bothered to ask her. It can be lese majeste.
Just like not too long ago, when Gov. Charlie Baker went on native NPR — National Panhandler Radio — and made a tremendous admission about his calamitous dealing with of the Panic.
“What really got us out of COVID wasn’t rules and regulations and requirements and orders, okay?”
Now he tells us, after his idiotic stewardship totally destroyed the state’s economic system. He simply tosses it out, that each one of his idiotic diktats had been for naught.
“It was vaccines, right, built off of years of people studying and figuring out how to do mNRA.”
Actually, it’s known as mRNA. But Gov. Know-It-All even bollixed that. And by the way in which, it doesn’t appear the vaccines labored all that effectively anyway. But I suppose he’d moderately speak about mNRA or mRNA than in regards to the Orange Line or the Green Line.
Just like Maura Healey, nobody in what was as soon as the Boston media ever calls him out for his asinine feedback.
That’s how forests burn down, and cities, and rapid-transit strains. And no one round right here ever pulls the hearth alarm.
