Oklahoma City Councilmember FORCED to RESIGN After Telling Trump Supporter to Kill Herself in Vile Online Post
Norman City Councilmember Bree Montoya has announced her immediate resignation following a firestorm of backlash over a now-viral Facebook post in which she explicitly told a Trump supporter to kill herself.
While Montoya claims she “resigned on her own,” mounting pressure from constituents, social media mobs, Republican activists, and local media left her with little choice but to step down.
According to screenshots shared widely across social media, Montoya engaged in a heated exchange with a Facebook user over the “No Kings” protest earlier this summer.
In one of her remarks, she told the user to “kill yourself,” which many interpret as a direct encouragement of suicide.
“Go on, put a gun in your mouth and pull the tigger,” Montoya wrote.
Montoya later posted an apology on her official social media accounts:
“I want to apologize for comments I made from my personal Facebook account a few months ago.
There are no words to express how awful, inappropriate, and unacceptable my comments were.
An exchange between an individual and myself got way out of hand, and in a moment of personal distress, I was completely out of line.
I was immediately disgusted with myself and knew I had crossed an unimaginable line. I sent a direct apology soon after.
I know better, but in that moment I failed. I know to reject the ugliness of certain emotions, and instead reach for kindness and compassion. But in that moment, I let personal distress overtake me. Since the incident, I have sought help to heal old wounds, learned from it, and am working daily to become a better person.
To those I’ve hurt and are disappointed in me, l am truly sorry. I humbly ask your forgiveness.”

On Tuesday, at the beginning of the Norman City Council meeting, Montoya announced her resignation, citing her many years of “service to the community,” KOCO reported.
The news outlet reported:
Montoya announced her resignation at the start of the meeting, and she left the building right after.
“I have served the community since 2008, and I am ready to pursue other opportunities. That being said, I am resigning immediate from Council Ward 3. Thank you, Ward 3. It’s been an honor to serve,” Montoya said at the meeting.

Montoya resigned on her own, and she was not forced to do so by the city. The city sent KOCO 5 a statement.
“City Council members are not considered traditional employees of the city of Norman. As elected officials, they enjoy the same First Amendment protections as any other citizen. Therefore, city staff cannot take disciplinary action against council members for exercising those rights,” the city said.
