Blue Burt: The Hypocrisy We Can’t Ignore
While Burt Thakur’s supporters push divisive narratives and hide behind fake accounts to intimidate opponents, they continue to cry foul even after sincere apologies were made by his opponent—yet say nothing about their own GOP-endorsed candidate’s past.
In 2016, Burt acted in a short film called “Church vs State”—where he covered himself in blue makeup and portrayed the “Krishna Imposter,” a violent character who joins armed versions of Jesus, Buddha, Moses, and Muhammad to rob banks and ki||s people.

‼️ WARNING: the short film is loaded with violence, nudity, and religious stereotypes that are likely to offend ‼️
For context: Krishna is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism—worshipped as the eighth avatar of Vishnu and often seen as the embodiment of protection, love, and compassion.
Did that character reflect any of those values?
In the film, Burt’s character helps rob a bank, signs a deal with the devil, points a weapon at a tied-up woman, and ultimately ki||s Jesus. It opens with half-naked women, includes female nudity, drug use, and ends in mass ki||ing.
He chose that role. He auditioned and portrayed a Hindu God ki||ing Jesus with military weapons.
And now he wants to represent Frisco?
This raises serious questions:
• Will Hindu voters turn out in support of a man who mocked their faith on film?
• Will Christian voters support someone who ki||s Jesus in a film?
• Will veterans and police back someone who steals a police car and ki||s authority figures—even if fictional?
We’re told to look past it because “it was just acting.” But character does matter—especially for someone asking to lead our diverse, values-driven city. His opponent is held accountable for her words. Why not hold Burt accountable for his actions?
To our Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist neighbors: We share this with deep respect. The imagery is offensive. But it deserves attention because leadership must be grounded in respect—for all communities.
Frisco deserves better. Say NO to Burt Thakur on June 7th!
