Reverend boyfriend of ex-Houston mayoral appointee who went on Camp Mystic tirade condemns her comments

The reverend partner of a former appointee to the Houston mayor’s office, who criticized Camp Mystic after a tragic flood claimed the lives of 27 campers and counselors, has spoken out against her controversial statements.

Colin Bossen, a senior minister at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, issued an apology to his congregation for the comments made by his girlfriend, Sade Perkins. He clarified in a statement accessed by the Daily Mail that he did not support her views from the outset.

“My partner Sadé Perkins has posted comments on social media about the catastrophic flooding that afflicted Camp Mystic,” he stated. “I want to make it clear that I do not support her comments.”

He made it abundantly clear that he was deeply regretful about the pain Perkins’ rant have caused.

“I apologize to my congregation,” he wrote. “I will continue to work to repair the harm this incident has caused.”

“Her comments have caused harm to many who are experiencing terrible loss and anxiety,” he wrote, according to the Daily Mail. “Her comments were not in the spirit of the Unitarian Universalist values centered around love that my congregation and I share.” 

Perkins’ went off about the all-girls Christian camp just hours after Friday’s catastrophic flooding.

“I know I’m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls’ Christian camp. 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 said in a widely condemned video on her private TikTok account.

“If you ain’t white you ain’t right, you ain’t gettin’ in, you ain’t goin’. Period,” Perkins said.

She insisted no one would care if the victims were minorities.

“If this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting this type of coverage that they’re getting, no one would give a f–k, and all these white people, the parents of these little girls would be saying things like ‘they need to be deported, they shouldn’t have been here in the first place’ and yada yada yada,” Perkins said.

The post, which went viral, drew massive criticism.

Perkins, invigorated by the hate she was receiving, responded with another equally unhinged video.

“I get that white people are not used to people telling them and calling them out on their racism and telling them about their double standards and how you wouldn’t give a damn about other children and how there’s children in ICE detention right now who y’all don’t give two f–ks about,” she ranted.

“There’s no prayers going up for them, but we’re supposed to stop the world and stop everything we’re doing to go and hunt for these little missing white girls.”

The board president of First Unitarian Universalist Church, Joan Waddill, also issued a statement trying to distance her church from Perkins’ controversial remarks.

“Like everybody in Texas, indeed any person who has heard of the terrible loss of life along the Guadalupe River, we are shocked and saddened by the enormity of our loss,” she said.

Waddill said she and her congregation are in “mourning.”

“Our core values include a belief in the interconnected web of life and the value of every individual,” she wrote, according to the Daily Mail. 

Waddill said Perkins is connected to the church but is not a staff member.

“’She was not speaking for the church, but only for herself,” Waddil wrote, according to the Daily Mail.

“Indeed, her comments contradict the core values of our church. We are horrified to be associated with these comments.”
