Trump To Host Mayor Of 'New Bedfrod'

NEW BEDFORD, MA — Note the dateline, White House. That's New Bedford, not New Bedfrod.

The White House on Wednesday released a list of mayors meeting with President Donald Trump today to "discuss the growing economy, as well as working together to tackle the opioid epidemic and rebuild the nation's aging infrastructure." On that list was Mayor Jon Mitchell of "New Bedfrod."

Simple typo? Probably. In reality, New Bedford is one of the cities hardest hit by the opioid crisis, losing more than 100 to it from 2015-16.

Mitchell, a former federal prosecutor, has said New Bedford will not be a "sanctuary city."

Of course, the only typo we noticed happened to be on the one Massachusetts community on the list of 109 across the country. Not that the president is one to hold petty grudges, but if he were, the Bay State might be the one he sticks it to.
