India, Aug. 15 -- Muriel Bowser, the Mayor of Washington DC, has come under fire after claims surfaced on social media that she has gone on a vacation at Martha's Vineyard, an Island in Massachusetts. Local Fox affiliate, Fox 5, reported that she is on the island on a "personal commitment" and is set to return on Friday. But those reports are unconfirmed.
