The reverend boyfriend of the former Houston mayoral appointee who went on a tirade<\/a> against Camp Mystic \u2014 where 27 campers and counselors were killed in the Texas flooding \u2014 has criticized his partner\u2019s controversial comments. <\/p>\n

Colin Bossen, a senior minister at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Houston, apologized to his congregation for his girlfriend Sade Perkins\u2019 remarks while acknowledging that he never endorsed them in the first place, in a statement obtained by the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy partner Sad\u00e9 Perkins has made comments on social media regarding the horrific flooding that devastated Camp Mystic,\u201d he wrote, according to the report. \u201cI want to be clear that I disavow her comments.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made it abundantly clear that he was deeply regretful about the pain Perkins\u2019 rant have caused.<\/p>\n

\u201cI apologize to my congregation,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI will continue to work to repair the harm this incident has caused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHer comments have caused harm to many who are experiencing terrible loss and anxiety,\u201d he wrote, according to the Daily Mail. \u201cHer comments were not in the spirit of the Unitarian Universalist values centered around love that my congregation and I share.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Perkins\u2019 went off about the all-girls Christian camp just hours after Friday\u2019s catastrophic flooding. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m going to get cancelled for this, but Camp Mystic is a white-only girls<\/a>\u2019 Christian camp. They don\u2019t even have a token Asian. They don\u2019t have a token Black person. It\u2019s an all-white, white-only conservative Christian camp,\u201d Perkins said in a widely condemned video on her private TikTok account.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ain\u2019t white you ain\u2019t right, you ain\u2019t gettin\u2019 in, you ain\u2019t goin\u2019. Period,\u201d Perkins said.<\/p>\n

She insisted no one would care if the victims were minorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting this type of coverage that they\u2019re getting, no one would give a f\u2013k, and all these white people, the parents of these little girls would be saying things like \u2018they need to be deported, they shouldn\u2019t have been here in the first place\u2019 and yada yada yada,\u201d Perkins said.<\/p>\n

The post, which went viral, drew massive criticism.<\/p>\n

Perkins, invigorated by the hate she was receiving, responded with another equally unhinged video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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\u2019t give a damn about other children and how there\u2019s children in ICE detention right now who y\u2019all don\u2019t give two f\u2013ks about,\u201d she ranted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no prayers going up for them, but we\u2019re supposed to stop the world and stop everything we\u2019re doing to go and hunt for these little missing white girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The board president of First Unitarian Universalist Church, Joan Waddill, also issued a statement trying to distance her church from Perkins\u2019 controversial remarks.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Waddill said she and her congregation are in \u201cmourning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur core values include a belief in the interconnected web of life and the value of every individual,\u201d she wrote, according to the Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Waddill said Perkins is connected to the church but is not a staff member.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019She was not speaking for the church, but only for herself,\u201d Waddil wrote, according to the Daily Mail. <\/p>\n

\u201cIndeed, her comments contradict the core values of our church. We are horrified to be associated with these comments.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The reverend boyfriend of the former Houston mayoral appointee who went on a tirade against Camp Mystic \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":48155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[30573,4345,19500,358,33227,3187,1154],"class_list":{"0":"post-48154","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-church","9":"tag-houston","10":"tag-racism","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-flooding-2025","13":"tag-tx","14":"tag-us-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114816552071408681","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
