Did Boston's Mayor Marty Walsh ban Donald Trump from the city?
Since announcing his 2016 presidential candidacy last month, real estate mogul Donald Trump and his controversial remarks on illegal Mexican immigrants have made enemies left and right.聽
NBC, 惭补肠测鈥檚, and NASCAR are among the many companies that have severed business ties with the front-running Republican candidate, and many of his conservative peers are actively working to distance themselves from Mr. Trump after his declaration that undocumented Mexican immigrants are 鈥渂ringing drugs. They鈥檙e bringing crime. They鈥檙e rapists.鈥�
Now, The Donald is taking on the city of Boston.聽
The developing feud began on Tuesday, after Mayor Martin Walsh that if Trump ever wants to build a hotel in Boston, he鈥檒l have to apologize for his immigration comments first.聽
鈥淚 just don鈥檛 agree with him at all,鈥� Mr. Walsh said. 鈥淚 think his comments are inappropriate. And if he wanted to build a hotel here, he鈥檇 have to make some apologies to people in this country.鈥澛�
Trump in an interview with the Herald鈥檚 Howie Carr in which he referred to himself in the third person, saying: 鈥淚 think Walsh, whoever he may be, should absolutely apologize to Mr. Trump, because frankly, as you see it, it was very heated last week, now everyone is apologizing to me, because they realize I鈥檓 right.鈥澛�
鈥淓veryone is saying I鈥檓 right. I don鈥檛 know Marty Walsh, but everyone is saying I鈥檓 right,鈥� he continued. 鈥淚 expect him to apologize for me, and if he doesn鈥檛, the voters should vote him the hell out of office.鈥�
Neither man shows any signs of surrendering at the moment, but if history is any guide, Walsh may have to in the future. In 2012, Walsh鈥檚 predecessor, Thomas Menino, made headlines for vowing to keep Chick-Fil-A stores out of Boston due to the company president鈥檚 anti-gay marriage stance, but later had to back down.聽
