    I thought the title meant the mayor was scorching the paper after the paper endorsed Harris.

    No, the mayor endorsed Harris in the paper by scorching Trump.

    Confusing headline.

        They were just too busy being flabbergasted by a in-office R endorsing a D nominee lmao

          They also had to cram sensationalist words like “scorching” in there, because apparently the Venn diagram of the WWE and American politics is nearly a circle.

        Looks like they were so absolutely dead set on starting the sentence with ‘gop mayor’ that any semblance of clarity left the building

          Which is still weird because “GOP Mayor endorses Harris in scorching op-ed for newspaper” really ain’t too far off

      I read it the right way initially but I see how it could easily be misinterpreted

        Yeah I feel I only understood it because I had seen the headline (more sensibly worded) elsewhere
