West U Councilwoman Accused Of Berating Teen With 'MAGA' T-Shirt

HOUSTON, TX — A group of teenage girls and one of them's father claim a West University Place Councilwoman screamed at them and tried intimidating them for simply wearing a pro-Trump t-shirt. Investigators from Harris County Precinct One Constable's Office filed a disorderly conduct charge Wednesday against West U Councilwoman Kellye Burke for the accusations made.

According to a report by KPRC2, the girls were at Tiny's Milk and Cookies in West University Place on Saturday, waiting to buy cookies for other girls at their church. That's when Burke allegedly approached them and went on a tirade.

"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. Fearing retaliation against his daughter, the man requested to not be identified.

What got the councilwoman all riled up? Well, the father said that one of the girls was wearing a shirt that read "Trump: Make America Great Again," the father said.

The father claimed that although they left the store without response or confrontation, one of the girls saw Burke taking their photo.

"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."

The Precinct One Constable's office filed a class C misdemeanor charge against Burke.

When approached by a KPRC2 knock on her door, Burke reportedly yelled from inside, "What are you doing at my house?"

"You know why we're here at your house," KPRC2 anchor and reporter Jacob Rascon said. Raccoon said Burke appeared to have no idea why they were at her house. "The disorderly conduct charge," Rascon responded.

"I'm putting my kids to bed!" Burke yelled. "Go away!"

The father said Burke reached out and apologized to him and his wife.

"We accepted her apology," the father said. "I would be just as angry if any parent said this to my child but as an elected official I’ll let her voters handle this matter.
