Looks like KellYe won that West U City Council seat she was running for...

Maybe folks should contact West U City Council and ask why someone who BULLIES CHILDREN is allowed to sit on their council.....

Looks like the lame Mayor has accepted KellYe’s pitiful apology.....

April 5, 2018

STATEMENT FOM KELLYE BURKE: “I have repeatedly apologized for the bad judgment I used and making the statement I did, but I do not believe repeating the words of the president of the United States is a crime.

However, I will apologize again on behalf of myself, the president of the united states and all the media outlets who repeated his words both electronically and in print.”

UPDATED: Statement from West University Place Mayor Susan Sample. “Thank you for reaching out about the city’s position on one of its councilmember’s actions last Saturday. The reported comments definitely do not speak for the City of West University Place’s government or employees. My position as Mayor, however, does not afford me any official authority with respect to matters such as this. Neither the city council nor the Mayor has any authority to remove fellow councilmembers.

“I am glad to know that this councilmember, who was independently elected by our city voters, is taking responsibility for her own actions and has reached out to the affected families to apologize for her remarks.

“This incident is a reminder that part of our responsibility, as elected officials, is to set a good example of civil discourse for those we represent, particularly our young people. I hope that my Council colleagues and I will move forward in that spirit in doing the work we were elected to do.”

The left is acting like a bunch of spoiled babies,

If leftists were all oppositionally defiant brats, would they behave any differently from their actual behavior?

CONTACT West Univ City Council and ask why this intolerant, violent person----
who BULLIES CHILDREN ---- Kellye Burke----is allowed to sit on their council and make official decisions.

Mailing Address:
3800 University Boulevard
West University Place, TX 77005
Main Tele: 713-668-4441

TALKING POINTS: one headline read: DERANGED: TEXAS COUNCILWOMAN CHARGED
FOR VERBALLY ATTACKING TEENAGER IN TRUMP SHIRT.” (“Crazed councilwoman yelled
for friends to grab the youngster by the p*ssy,” read the subhead.)

Kellye is a supporter of "Moms Demand Action" gun grabbers .

"Keep and Bear Arms,' offered this headline: “Cowardly Dem Just Viciously Assaulted Terrified Girl Over Message On Her Shirt—‘gun-grabber Scarred Young Girl For Life.’”

When NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch tweeted about Kellye, her followers replied with a chorus of tweets, saying things like “LOCK HER UP!!!!!!!” and “Just more proof that no one is less tolerant than a leftist.”

Social Vengeance Warrior.

“Justice” sounds laudable. We know SJW is not laudable, in context, but those not fully up to speed on modern politics may not know that. Not everyone is a politics junkie.

"The left hates it when their bad behavior is called out and they start to feel the heat that folks on the other side of the spectrum feel everyday."

Homeschool, online school or GED. These lunatics are violent and dangerous and shouldn’t be around children.

I thought FR was anonymous. Then someone I know (not a conservative, just stumbled upon a local topic on this site) figured out who I was by my comments (not nasty or hateful, just specific) and I had hell to pay in my personal life.

I’m much more careful now.

She is allowed to sit on the Council because the only way she can be removed is by (1) the voters or (2) if the she is convicted of a felony and the city has such a provision for removal for that reason.

The money quote...from one of the parents:

…"In my opinion, if a t-shirt triggers such strong emotions, one should seek therapy.”

Liberals. You can't take them anywhere, and you can't keep them on a leash.

At what point do people not get that every public action will end up on social media. I pretty much only feel sympathy if someone is mentally challenged. People are amazingly stupid. And if you’re an adult & go after kids, all bets are off.

Kellye is an idiot and she simply removed all doubt about it.
