A Norman, Oklahoma city council member’s vile Facebook comment telling a Trump supporter to harm herself with a gun has finally forced her resignation after going viral on Libs of TikTok, exposing the toxic hatred leftist officials harbor toward conservatives.
Story Highlights
- Bree Montoya resigned from Norman City Council after telling Trump supporter Audra Abbott to harm herself with a gun during Facebook argument
- The June 2025 comment only gained attention months later when Libs of TikTok amplified screenshots, forcing accountability
- Norman’s mayor and city council faced criticism for their initial silence and failure to address the misconduct
- Community members are now demanding a formal code of conduct for city officials following the incident
Councilwoman’s Shocking Attack on Conservative Resident
Bree Montoya, who served on Norman’s City Council representing Ward 3, made the despicable comment during a June 2025 Facebook dispute with Audra Abbott about protest crowd sizes. During the heated exchange, Montoya crossed every line of decency by telling Abbott, a Trump supporter, to harm herself with a firearm. The comment circulated in local Norman Facebook groups but initially failed to generate sufficient outrage to hold Montoya accountable for her reprehensible behavior.
Abbott, rightfully seeking justice for the councilwoman’s vicious attack, worked to bring attention to Montoya’s conduct. The incident demonstrates the dangerous level of animosity some leftist officials hold toward everyday Americans who support conservative values and President Trump. This type of targeted harassment represents exactly the kind of toxic political environment that hardworking patriots have endured under progressive leadership.
Social Media Amplification Forces Overdue Accountability
The story only gained national traction when Libs of TikTok shared screenshots of the exchange, finally providing the pressure needed to force institutional response. This highlights a concerning pattern where local progressive officials believe they can attack conservatives without consequences until national attention exposes their misconduct. The three-month delay between Montoya’s comment and her resignation reveals how local leadership initially chose to protect her rather than defend the targeted resident.
Norman’s mayor and city council faced intense criticism for their conspicuous silence during the initial months following the incident. Their failure to immediately condemn Montoya’s behavior or take disciplinary action suggests a troubling tolerance for attacks on conservative community members. Only sustained public pressure and national scrutiny finally compelled the overdue institutional response that should have occurred immediately.
Community Demands Higher Standards for Public Officials
Montoya announced her resignation during a September city council meeting, stating she had served the community since 2008 and was ready to pursue other interests. Her resignation speech notably avoided any apology to Abbott or acknowledgment of the harm caused by her comment. The city is now accepting applications to fill the vacant Ward 3 seat through October 2, 2025, providing an opportunity for residents to elect someone who respects all constituents regardless of political affiliation.
Community activists and residents have intensified calls for implementing a formal code of conduct for Norman’s city council members. This incident exposes the urgent need for clear standards governing how elected officials interact with constituents, particularly on social media platforms where their conduct reflects on the entire city government. The proposed code would establish accountability mechanisms to prevent future incidents and ensure all residents receive respectful treatment from their representatives.
