People are mad Mayor Brandon Scott is having a baby. People are dumb.

My first reaction to the announcement that Mayor Brandon Scott and girlfriend Hana Pugh are expecting a child in 2024 was delight — babies are awesome and this one’s parents seem thrilled. My second reaction? Shame and disappointment … in some of you. Because no sooner had the 39-year-old Scott revealed his impending fatherhood that the judgment started, most of it centering on the fact the notoriously private mayor is not married to the mother of his child.
