Nury Martinez Resigns From LA City Council Days After Racist Remarks Surface
New York Post ^ | October 12, 2022 | Marjorie Hernandez, David Propper

Los Angeles Councilmember Nury Martinez announced she resigned from her seat “with a broken heart” Wednesday after she was caught on an audio recording hurling racist remarks.

Martinez faced immense blowback after a recording was leaked over the weekend where she called a fellow council member’s young son, who is black, a “little monkey” and suggested the child needed a “beatdown” during an October 2021 conversation about proposed redistricting.

“It is with a broken heart that I resign my seat for Council District 6, the community I grew up in and my home,” she said in a long statement.

The broken heart occurred because she couldn’t get away with it and keep her seat.

Dems are so much more racist than who they tryto smear with being racists. Another example confirming it. Three top dems right here spewing their racism thinking they were untouchable because: LA, Democrat, and Minorities.

Good.

Finally making them live up to their own supposed standards.

Id say make her pay back her ill gotten gains. I would welcome a host of civil suits against her for anything she did in office they could tie her racist views to.

That was going to be my question. What about the others that participated in these racist comments against a four year old boy?

Only black leftists are truly immune from the repercussions of making racist remarks. Privilege.

No, the governor of Virginia was white and went in blackface and KKK, and no issue for him.

That has to be tough on family income, she was making over $200,000 a year.

But making over $200,000 still qualifies her for Newsome’s handout, depending on her filing status and dependents. It’s considered borderline income in LA for welfare apparently.

She’s corrupt too.

-

Records submitted by Martinez’s campaign to the city Ethics Commission list Salazar, her husband, her son and her daughter as $5 donors. But Salazar says no one in her family provided contributions.

“None of us gave anything” to the Martinez campaign, said the 57-year-old janitor.

Adam Bass, a spokesman for Martinez, declined to comment. Roy Behr, a consultant on the councilwoman’s reelection campaign, said in October that Martinez “understands from the U.S. attorney” that she is not a target of the probe.

She talked about going on a "leave of absence," but apparently she actually resigned.

Here's the LA Times:

Racism? You ain’t seen nothing yet. The Mexicans in LA County are taking over and racially cleansing entire communities of blacks. The white racists running BLM know their time is about over. No amount of screaming racist is going to save their hides. If they don’t leave, the Mexicans will make them leave.
