A former appointee to a Houston city board recently came under fire for claiming that a Texas summer camp devastated by flooding was “White-only, conservative [and] Christian.”

Sade Perkins, a former member of the Houston Food Insecurity Board, made the unverified claims about Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas, in a TikTok video this weekend.

The office of Houston Mayor John Whitmire confirmed to Fox News Digital that Perkins posted the video. She was appointed by former Mayor Sylvester Turner in 2023, and her term expired in January 2025.

In her video, Perkins began by predicting that she was “probably gonna get canceled for this.”

“Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members. Meanwhile, they’re setting up concentration camps and prisons for your family members. And I need you all to keep that in mind before you all get out there and put on your rain boots and go find these little girls.”

Speaking to Fox News, Whitmire’s office said that Perkins would not be reappointed to the board, and called her comments “deeply inappropriate.”

“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,” the statement from the mayor’s office read. 

“Mayor John Whitmire will not reappoint her and is taking immediate steps to remove her permanently from the board.”

At least 80 deaths have been confirmed from the catastrophic flood as of Sunday, a large number being children. At least 10 campers from Camp Mystic are still missing.
