Democrat Nury Martinez resigned as president of the Los Angeles City Council on Monday, one day after a racist leaked audio recording was released. Martinez issued a statement regarding her resignation as council president, although she will remain a council member.
“I take responsibility for what I said and there are no excuses for those comments. I’m sorry,” she said. Martinez and Councilman Kevin de León faced widespread protests and calls for their resignation after they were caught on the recording making racist comments about Councilmember Mike Bonin, a gay white man, and his adopted black son. The conversation also included Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. The meeting was largely focused on redistricting the city, which happens once a decade.
Los Angeles, California.
Democrat City leader ship calls blacks monkeys.
Not the 40s, 50s or 60s.
2022.
Tell me about the party switch again
It seems like they want you to think she is off the council. She stepped down as President (or Chair), but still will retain her seat and vote.
Yet another excellent example of liberal hypocrisy.
Right up there with Marthas Vineyard.
so its ok to be a council member if you are a racist
just not council president
got it
Yeah she did NOT resign, she is still on the board she just resigned her position as president..funny thing here in LA they are covering this like crazy but NO ONE mentions that they are ALL DEMOCRATS..not one peep about their political affiliation
What is a “racist leaked audio recording”?
Why is it when a Democrat makes a comment like this, if it is even reported, it is their statement alone? If a Republican made a similar comment, it a party-wide problem and everyone in the party is guilt of the offence.
For some reason, a Flip Wilson joke comes to mind. Something about a railroad employee and a mother with a new baby.
2022. Los Angeles, California. Democrat City leader ship calls blacks monkeys.
Not the 40s, 50s or 60s. 2022. Tell me about the party switch again.
Actually she likely reflects the thoughts of many of her constituents. When speaking in Spanish they often let things slip that they’d never say in ingles.
Yes but would she have resigned if the father had been straight ???
So after resigning, she is still taking home her $207,000 yearly salary.
She ought to be run out completely.
That’s what they’d do to our side.
Unless its ok to be her level of racist and somehow remain a councilmemner representing quite a few people. Wonder how this will fly.
Ya gotta luv ‘Rat on ‘Rat violins.
So after resigning, she is still taking home her $207,000 yearly salary.
You betcha.
Because they are the party of racism
Lancelot Link and Mata Hairi were the undercover agent on this case. Chalk one up for A.P.E. For exposing another plan by C.H.U.M.P.
