West University Place councilwoman Kellye Burke was charged with disorderly conduct after she yelled obscenities at a Trump shirt wearing teenage girl. It’s worth noting that Burke is also a Mom’s Demand Action activist.
The girl and her friends were waiting in line at a bake shop when Burke yelled, “Grab her by the p**** girls!” and “MAGA!” repeatedly, according the girls.
She later issued one the worst sorry, not sorry apologies ever, saying:
“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.”
A few weeks after the incident, the misdemeanor charge has been dismissed.
