Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Not content to let the gun control and hardcore anti-Donald Trump communities’ hateful rhetoric be relegated to the internet, print media, television, and protests, prominent Texas Moms Demand Action President Kellye Burke decided she would take direct action against her political adversaries – by allegedly berating some teenage girls in a bakery.
Burke is also a city council member in West University Park Place, Texas.
According to a report from Houston’s KPRC, a group of teenage girls were waiting in line at Tiny’s Milk and Cookies to buy some baked goods for their church when Burke happened upon them. Apparently disturbed that one of the teens had decided to exercise her First Amendment right by wearing a “Trump: Make America Great Again” shirt, Burke allegedly began to shout an expletive for a part of the female anatomy at the young girls.
The father of one of the girls told KPRC that the group initially ignored Burke’s aberrant conduct. However, Burke allegedly continued to harass the girls, reportedly shaking her fist and mockingly shouting “MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!” (Make America Great Again)
Demonstrating a level of maturity not present in the council member, the girls reportedly left the bakery without engaging Burke. According to the father, “They were absolutely scared. My little girl essentially wanted to know if this woman was going to hurt her.”
The bizarre encounter was captured on video, which allowed Burke to be identified. Due to Burke’s position as a city council member, the case is being handled by the Harris County Constable’s Office, who, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, cited Burke for disorderly conduct on Thursday.
Following the citation, Burke released a sarcastic apology through her attorney, Texas super-lawyer Rusty Hardin.
The mother of one of Burke’s alleged victims didn’t appreciate Burke’s sardonic response, stating, “Clearly her ‘apology’ was an attempt to placate very angry parents as opposed to a genuine apology.” Offering Burke some friendly advice, the mother went on to note, “if a t-shirt triggers such strong emotions, one should seek therapy.”
Burke first came to the attention of the gun rights community when she offered false testimony to the Texas Senate’s Committee on State Affairs during a February 12, 2015 hearing on campus Right-to-Carry legislation. Representing Moms Demand Action, Burke told the committee,
We do not know about how, quote responsible [concealed handgun license] holders are because that dataset is not available and is completely locked down. Any statements about how quote responsible and law-abiding CHL’s are is completely anecdotal and therefore conjecture.
In fact, the Texas Department of Public Safety makes detailed statistics concerning conviction rates among CHL holders available to the public, as well as a variety of demographic data that includes CHL revocations.
Burke’s erroneous testimony failed to sway the committee. The State Affairs Committee approved the legislation by a vote of 7 to 2 and campus Right-to-Carry became law on June 13, 2015.
According to an interview with the radical left-wing publication Mother Jones, Burke was driven to support gun control by what she called the “sickness and the callousness” of NRA. Most Americans, and probably an even larger portion of Texans, do not share Burke’s view. A March 2018 Reuter/Ipsos poll found that a majority of Americans hold a favorable view of NRA. The same cannot be said for Moms Demand Action’s preferred presidential candidate.
Look for the top-down Michael Bloomberg gun control machine to distance itself from Burke following her alleged attempt to dictate the attire and political beliefs of those around her. Then again, why should they? Controlling the legitimate behavior of others is what gun control is all about.

Idiots like this one is the reason that we must keep a majority in both houses in the midterm elections this fall. If the demoRats get a majority in either house the gains that we made under President Trump will be stopped cold. The SCOTUS openings that will come open will never be filled in the next seven years under President Trump
The left will block every conservative judge he nominates. They will attack the gun rights more viciously too. We must turn out every voter that we can to defeat these fruitcake.
This wacko Bimbo is mentally unhinged. There is now video evidence of that fact. She is a living, breathing, perfect example of the liberal anti-2nd Amendment movement. She is not an anomaly….she is the standard cloth by which all like her are cut. She is a perfect example of the Socialist, Marxist Anti-Gun left.
If it’s only about the kids why yell MAGA? Oh..wait is IS about Trump!
This feels a little off topic, but it directly addresses statements from the end of the article. There are some interesting polls on related topics. First of all there are conflicting results that indicate the nra’s approval rating is below 50% for the first time since 2000. That’s not the most telling poll though. It’s interesting to see that only 24% of voters will only support a candidate that shares their views on gun issues. 84% of voters believe in stronger enforcement and background checks (whatever that actual means isn’t completely clear). Perhaps most significant is the fact that the… Read more »
Don’t go out and buy a gun…….buy 2 or 3 JPFO
Too bad one of the girls didn’t drop kick the libtard blonde bimbo bitch ! I can pretty much put money on the fact that if one of my daughters were there, Burke would have had her face slammed to the concrete.
