REPORT: City councilmember in Oklahoma resigns after online comments spark backlash

4

From Fox News: Bree Danyele Montoya, a city councilmember representing Norman, Oklahoma’s Ward 3, resigned effective immediately Tuesday after a Facebook comment she wrote telling a Trump supporter to harm herself resurfaced and went viral when shared by Libs of TikTok.

The resignation followed months of inaction from the city council, critics say, until the exchange gained national traction online. The City of Norman has since emphasized that while elected officials speak for themselves, it “does not support actions or behaviors that may encourage harm.”

“In various capacities, I have served this community since 2008, and I am ready to pursue other interests. Effective immediately, I am resigning as councilmember for Ward 3. Thank you, Ward 3,” Montoya said at the meeting.

The recipient of Montoya’s comments, constituent Audra Abbott, told FOX affiliate KOKH she was shocked when she realized who had written them.


Montoya’s resignation came after she was exposed by Libs of TikTok last week in a post that has been viewed over 1.7 million times.

She then issued a public apology.
