Annissa Essaibi George on @BosPublicRadio , when asked about her differences with Michelle Wu, says she has a reputation of being "very much engaged." "I'm being polite about that, but I don't see Michelle in our neighborhoods, in our city, the way that I am present."

Essaibi George not a fan of (1) safe injection sites and (2) Sheriff Tompkins's proposal to commit people living at Mass. and Cass to a repurposed detention center

Essaibi George say she doesn't think the media has treated her fairly: "No I don't. Very clearly. And I think that the media, in many cases, has just assumed that my opponent is situated to win this race. That's very much not the case."

"There's this assumption that she's just going to simply win it, because of some of the support she's received. And to make that assumption that the people of Boston have made their choice, and for the media to have made that assumption, I think is underestimating my strengths."

Wu's response:

For reference, here's Essaibi George's full quote, which her campaign says is "solely about her own experiences" and not a knock on Wu:

@NikDeCostaKlipa If decisions other people made are fair campaign topics, like where Wu's parents were living when she was born, then I guess a deep dive into her husband's business and tax issues is 100% ok by Essabi-George?

@NikDeCostaKlipa Essaibi George yet again taking a “Boston First anti immigration” stance. No wonder trump voters like her

@NikDeCostaKlipa I don’t think this interview did her much good. She was very defensive when given an opportunity to address some very open ended questions about her campaign. Still holding a grudge against candidates no longer running.

@NikDeCostaKlipa Ew.

@NikDeCostaKlipa How is that supposed to make the many residents of Boston feel who were not even born in this country much less born in Boston?

@NikDeCostaKlipa @AnnissaForBos is the #MAGA candidate apparently.

@NikDeCostaKlipa Ooh, is this a Scorigami style ratio?

@NikDeCostaKlipa This will backfire for her big time.

@NikDeCostaKlipa Elizabeth Warren did not endorse George. I later read that George's husband is a contractor, the Mayor is often tasked 2 award government contracts & this could lead to favoritism. Boston has a long history of corruption, I'd like to see Wu get a chance to interrupt that trend.

@NikDeCostaKlipa What’s relevant is essaibi George’s self dealing to her real estate hubby…

@NikDeCostaKlipa Isn't it kind of strange that the woman who pretends she's a suburban white woman while living in Dorchester (and claims to live in Southie) would criticize someone who lives in Boston and actually wants to be here?

@NikDeCostaKlipa I think being a long term resident of a city MIGHT help someone understand the issues better. But that isn't necessarily as same as being born and raised in a city. A 40+ year old that moved to Boston right after college for a job may have a good understanding of the issues.
