Yeah, this guy will fight for his $229,000 because if he resigns his reputation will undoubtedly keep him from another job where he can make that much money. He'll just be kicked to the curb... should have thought of that sooner

Some comments are messed up. Since when is mockery & racism ok? Do a recall vote if he won’t resign. He doesn’t represent the constituency, he makes 229k a year off of them to degrade them behind closed doors. He can heal himself on his own dime, not the taxpayers.

How can racism start to be practiced in the government of a great nation like united States,and it's a petty that people who are shading this ugly pictures are not topical Americans I want everyone to understand America that it's citizens are enjoying today, The nation everyone is working hard to visit or step a foot on it , The country that sounds in everyone's ears, The land of opportunities. I want everyone on earth to know that this nation would have not accomplished all of that without black people. American was built on Union,not only union of states but even union of colors,knowledge,power etc Now if I hear people talking trash to others I feel uncomfortable because these are the people who want to dismantle a great NATION l kindly request the president of united States of America to act effectively by arresting or putting a barn on all those who Practice racism in the country and in the government offices "AMERICA IS A NATION OF UNITED PEOPLE NOT RASISTS"

Way to go Mr. de León you were lawfully elected by the voters to do a job. You should not ever be forced to resign due to mob rule. Don't cave to pressure by your opponents EVEN if they are members of your own party, they are just as racist as you are. If the voters want you out then they need to do it legally other wise they are just complaining and obstructing. Maybe next time the voters will think twice about electing someone based on their ethnicity or the letter after their name on the ballot, probably not but maybe.
