I don’t have enough context to know exactly what the mayor intended to mean.
Likely entirely on purpose. I bet the full context of the speech does help it make sense, but someone deliberately cut out that context in order to make a quick ‘gotcha’ moment out of it.
That is my assumption as well. I was just considering how much better this country could be if we just taught children to use steel man arguments instead of straw man arguments.

No different from when people clip streamers out of context. There’s a narrative that the poster is pushing. Otherwise they’d come with receipts.
