Los Angeles City Councilmember Mike Bonin responded to Nury Martinez's racist remarks she made about his Black son during a 2021 meeting.
RELATED: Los Angeles official Nury Martinez resigns after racist remarks bit.ly/3Mro3Vf
Leaked audio of a conversation between some of Los Angeles' top political players that included racist remarks has cascaded into multiple resignations that came to a head during a rowdy - and at times chaotic - city council meeting Wednesday.
The audio sent shockwaves through the city, which is known as a liberal hub with trendsetting progressive policies, and across the nation - even reaching the White House. At a press conference Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden believes all those heard on the leaked audio should resign and be held accountable for their actions and speech.
Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez announced Tuesday she is taking a "leave of absence" from the council two days after audio leaked of her racist remarks in a meeting last October, the Los Angeles Times reported. Nury and Ron Herrera, the president of Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, both resigned from their presidency positions on Monday, according to the Times.

The lady's remark had nothing to do with race, but everything to do with an unruly child. Too many parents and grandparents don't teach children manners before unleashing them into public. All children are born ignorant and need to be taught proper behavior just as much as reading, writing and arithmetic. Spanking at home and in school along with telling the child why is the quickest and best way to achieve this. Bring that back and within 10 years the sales of Ritalin and school shootings will be less than half of today. Also parents USE COMMON SENSE. There are only two genders and you can tell even before birth what the child is by looking between its legs....

She said nothing wrong. She called Bonin out for his fake love of his “son” and how he treats him as an accessory, how he doesn’t discipline the kid and lets him run crazy in public, and when she said “like a monkey” she was still talking about the kid jumping and hanging off the parade float.

@@paintup46 ty. My Spanish was learned and is occasionally spoken with an Okie accent some 40+ years ago. " SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD " . That was true over 50 years ago for me, 100 years before, today and 150 years from now. I'm sure that lady says the same thing to her own family. It's high time for common sense. It's mainly government that separates the races and genders for their own bait and switch tactics. We've had the wool pulled over our eyes too long that the real conflict is not democrats vs republican, but the wealthy vs not. Both sides do things for the wealthy. Republicans lower taxes directly, democrats ensure low wages for workers by increasing the supply the them with open borders. The only way to find out the truth is to follow the money. Money doesn't lie at all, people often do, and politicians rarely don't. FJB and FDT.
