Oklahoma Councilmember Resigns After Telling Trump Supporter to Kill Herself in Viral Post
Norman, Oklahoma — Bree Montoya, councilmember for Ward 3 on the Norman City Council, has announced her immediate resignation after a resurfaced Facebook post in which she told a Trump supporter to commit suicide sparked widespread backlash.
Montoya, who had served various roles in the community since 2008, issued a written apology acknowledging that her comment was “unacceptable” and stating she had crossed “an unimaginable line.”
According to local reports, the Facebook exchange originally stemmed from a dispute over a protest (“No Kings” protest) earlier this summer, during which Montoya called the constituent “uneducated” before escalating to the self-harm suggestion.
At a council meeting, she formally tendered her resignation, stating:
“I have served the community since 2008, and I am ready to pursue other opportunities. Effective immediately, I am resigning as councilmember for Ward 3. Thank you, Ward 3.”
City officials clarified that, while councilmembers enjoy First Amendment protections, the municipality does not condone remarks that encourage harm.
A vacancy now exists in the Ward 3 seat, and procedures to fill it will be determined by the council.
