HOUSTON - Investigators at the Harris County Precinct One Constable's Office on Wednesday filed a disorderly conduct charge against West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke, after accusations that she berated a group of teenage girls over a Trump T-shirt.
The girls said they were in line at Tiny's Milk and Cookies in West U on Saturday, waiting to buy cookies for younger girls at their nearby church.
"A tall, short-haired blond woman came up to them and screamed, 'Grab em by the (expletive) girls!'" the father of one of the girls said. He did not want to be identified, fearing retaliation against his daughter.
The girls initially tried to laugh it off, the father said.
"Then, she yells it again!" the father said. "At that point the girls were getting kind of scared, and then the woman starts, you know, going, 'MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!' while shaking her fist."
One of the girls was wearing a shirt that read, "Trump: Make America Great Again," the father said.
Wasn't that some glorious resistance? This heroic member of the resistance wasn't going to let any teen girls at Tiny's Milk and Cookies hang around in MAGA shirts without screaming obscenities at them. That's how you fight the normalization of Trump.
The father said the girls left without responding to the woman. He said one of the girls said she noticed that Burke had taken a picture of her.
"They were scared," the father said. "They were absolutely scared. My little girl essentially wanted to know if this woman was going to hurt her."
Before the Council thing, Kellye Burke headed the Texas chapter of Bloomberg's Moms Demand Action gun control group. She was a "Gun Safety Mom".
A flattering Mother Jones propaganda piece called Burke and her fellow anti-second amendment activists, "The NRA's Worst Nightmare." Not so much. But she's certainly the worst nightmare of any pro-American teen girl she encounters on line.
