Meet Kellye Burke from Houston, Texas. Burke is a City of West U council member as well as a volunteer for @MomsDemand.
And this morning, Burke is also facing a “class C misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge” after she berated some teenage girls buying cookies because one of them was wearing a Trump shirt:

According to the report, Burke yelled “grab her by the p*ssy girls!” and “MAGA! MAGA!” at them:
Four teenage girls were in line at a cookie shop when they say @KellyeBurkeTX angrily yelled “grab her by the p**** girls!” and “MAGA! MAGA!” at them while shaking her fist. One of them had on a Trump shirt. Girls left without responding. “They were terrified,” one father says.

Lock her up, as hey say:
To avoid any potential conflict of interest, the case was referred by West U police to Harris Co pct 1 Constable’s office, who filed class C misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge against Burke. Girls involved and their families do not want to be identified, fearing retaliation.

The parents of the girl have accepted her apology, but Burke’s treatment of the media is a threat to democracy!

For someone who hates Trump, she certainly has embraced his treatment of the press.
