Embattled Los Angeles Councilman Kevin de Leon has told Univision he will not resign amid an uproar over a leaked tape that revealed him participating in a meeting in which Latino officials made crude, racist remarks and plotted to expand their political power
A protester covers his face with a sign mocking city councilmen Kevin de León outside the Los Angeles City Hall in Los Angeles, Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2022. The demonstrators demanded the city council stop its virtual meeting Tuesday until two of its members resign over racist remarks.
The California Legislative Black Caucus said the recording “reveals an appalling effort to decentralize Black voices during the critical redistricting process.” “I feel very bad, I feel very sorry for the damage, for the wounds that exist today in our communities,” he said.
