Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu were booed by fans at the Red Sox home opener Friday.
The two Democrat politicians took the field at Fenway Park before Friday’s game against the San Diego Padres for a pregame ceremony.
And the 36,000-plus fans in attendance showered the Democrats with relentless boos.
Footage of the booing went viral on social media, providing a boasting opportunity for Massachusetts’ GOP gubernatorial hopefuls.
One of those candidates, Brian Shortsleeve, said in an X video, “Hey, everybody, coming to you from Fenway Park. Here’s a quick update: It’s a beautiful afternoon. The Red Sox are up by one. Maura Healey and Michelle Wu just got booed very loudly.”
In another post, he wrote, “It was even louder in person!”
Another candidate, Mike Minogue, posted a video of Healey and Wu being booed, writing, “Looks like fans want someone else up to bat.”

Healey on Thursday demanded that two private airline companies stop providing flights for ICE to quickly remove illegal immigrants who have been detained, citing a recent ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis.
In October, one of Healey’s aides was arrested for cocaine trafficking after investigators intercepted packages with the drug slated to be delivered to a state office building where he worked, prosecutors said.

Wu has been a target of frequent controversy due to her resistance to immigration enforcement.
In February, Wu accused federal immigration agents of conducting “unconstitutional” operations in the city and ordered the public release of surveillance and body camera footage from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions.
