Mike Bonin, Joe Buscaino and Bob Blumenfield all called on Kevin de León to reconsider, nearly 24 hours after he revealed his plans to remain on LA City Council despite his involvement in a racist scandal.
, despite his participation in a racially-charged conversation back in Oct. 2021, fellow City Councilmembers have come forward to express their disappointment in his decision.
In the weeks since the audio was leaked to the public, Martinez and Herrera have offered their resignations, but Cedillo and De León have refused to bend to the public's will. Some people have even camped out near de León's Eagle Rock home, hoping that their demonstrations will lend some insight into how his constituents truly feel with his blatant disregard to their feelings.
"I was really disappointed and sort of disgusted by Kevin's comments," he said."He clearly doesn't get, I think, what he did and the gravity of what's going on.""For the sake of his constituents and for the sake of the city, I wish and I call on him to resign," said Councilman Bob Blumenfield. Blumenfield is just part of the entirety of City Council that have called for De León and Cedillo to step down from their seats.
