But thanks for the lawn tour of WR’s rich white progressives who demean & disparage their middle & working class neighbors for sport. Like Tonya T, who split $7.5 MILLION w/her ex in divorce & also gets $14k/MONTH alimony. Public record. No Fair Share 🪧 for her! #bospoli #mapoli

No integrity in anything you do, Rachel. You are a hypocrite & liar. You testified at SchoolCommittee that your grandchild would be impacted by exam school policy. Now she goes to $59k private school, as did your own kids. Rich white progressives have no skin in the game #bospoli https://twitter.com/RachelPoliner/status/1558948721261518851
