Houston mayoral appointee slammed for calling flood-hit Camp Mystic a 'white-only girls' Christian camp

HOUSTON, TEXAS: Houston mayoral appointee Sade Perkins was fired after she went ballistic, criticizing Camp Mystic, a Texas campsite where seven young girls lost their lives in floodwaters, and called it a "white-only girls" Christian camp.
The death toll from the catastrophic flooding in Central Texas has climbed to over 82, with dozens still unaccounted for. In Kerr County alone, search teams have recovered 68 bodies, including 28 children.
Sade Perkins fired for saying Camp Mystic is 'white-only girls' Christian camp
In a series of videos shared on TikTok, Sade Perkins vented her frustrations as she called Camp Mystic a "whites only Christian camp" just hours after the flash floods ripped through Texas on July 4.
"I know I'm going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls' Christian camp," she said in one of the clips.
"They don't even have a token Asian. They don't have a token Black person. It's an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp," Perkins further added.
Soon after her video went viral, Perkins was admonished by Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who said he would take steps to remove her from the board.
However, she doubled down on her remarks and went on to blame President Donald Trump, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for the floods, describing them as "totally preventable."
Furthermore, she complained that she had become "the scapegoat to cover up for the f***up of a flood," instead of addressing what she argued was the "reason" for the natural disaster, "of course your friendly MAGA Trump up there in the White House."

"I did not cause the flood, nor did I cause the failure from the National Weather Service and FEMA. Those were done by design, by the Lieutenant, and by the Governor, and your f****** President," Perkins said.
Houston Mayor John Whitmire calls out Sade Perkins for her statement
John Whitmire released a statement following the controversy surrounding Sade Perkins' social media post.
"The comments shared on social media are deeply inappropriate and have no place in a decent society, especially as families grieve the confirmed deaths and the ongoing search for the missing," Whitmire said.
He added, "The individual who made these statements is not a City of Houston employee. She was appointed to the City's Food Insecurity Board by former Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2024, and her term expired in January 2025."

Moreover, Whitmire mentioned that steps were being taken "to remove her permanently from the board" and vowed he "has no plans to reappoint her."
Interestingly, Perkins showed no regrets after being publicly scolded by the mayor.
"You people are f****ng crazy, you people are insane. And the video is still up and I still stand behind, 10 toes down on the motherf***ing ground," she said about her critics.
