Last October, leaked audio from an October 2021 city council meeting shook up the council as it included racist remarks about the black child of former Councilman Mike Bonin.
The leaked conversation resulted in several resignations, including former city council president Nury Martinez (D). Martinez called Bonin’s black adopted son “ese changuito,” Spanish for “that little monkey.” She also claimed the child “needs a beatdown” because Bonin was “raising him like a little white kid.”
Not exactly a surprise to hear the Democrats talk like this, but when it leaked they all declared it 'unacceptable.' Funny how that's changed.
De León did not condemn Martinez’s remarks during the conversation, instead accusing Bonin of using his black son as a prop, similar to when Martinez “brings her Goyard bag or the Louis Vuitton bag.”
Doubling down.
De León faced multiple calls to resign from the city council, including from President Joe Biden.
He, however, denied the calls to resign, instead offering his apologies at the time, saying he “fell short of the expectations we set for our leaders” and that he will hold himself “to a higher standard.”
Remember this for later.
“There were comments made in the context of this meeting that are wholly inappropriate; and I regret appearing to condone and even contribute to certain insensitive comments made about a colleague and his family in private. I’ve reached out to that colleague personally,” De León added.
The usual bullshit PR apology.
Nearly one year later, he announced his reelection campaign. In an interview with Politico, he said his constituents supported him through the scandal.
“When a lot of people that I called my friends and allies turned away from me, my constituents had my back,” De León told Politico. “I understood in a deeper way the relationship that I had with my community and how that motivates and drives me. That’s why I’m still here. And that’s why I’m running.”
Hahahahahaha.
But wait! It gets better.
“The context of our conversation was about redistricting and ensuring equal representation,” he said. “You have to look no further than the maps that were drawn. Are they fully reflective of the demographics of the city? Not really.”
Latinos are the largest ethnic group in Los Angeles, making up nearly 48 percent of the population, while Black residents comprise 8 percent. There are currently five Latino members on the 15-member council (four when the recording was made) and three Black members.
Fight! Fight! Fight!
And here, the ULTIMATE response:
However, De León denounced those using the scandal to attack him, saying it is “a complete false narrative that is perpetuated to meet the opportunistic needs of those who are politically ambitious.”
"Ignore the evidence in front of your eyes."
I can't tell if this guy is secretly based or just totally unwilling to admit he's fucked and trying to play blacks and hispanics off each other.
De León did not condemn Martinez’s remarks during the conversation, instead accusing Bonin of using his black son as a prop
Sounds like he's actually the only sane guy of the bunch.
He didn't make the offensive remarks. He just didn't start hyperventilating and outraging because someone else said something offensive.
And he's probably right about the prop comment. We've all seen how leftists use kids as props, whether it's by turning them into LGBTs or by adopting a black kid as a gay couple.
He's just disarming one of the usual tactics they employ against Republicans because it's being used against him. This guy is heavily aligned with La Raza and is heavily anti-gun to the point of sponsoring new legislation and spreading propaganda about "ghost guns".
This whole debacle is about the Hispanic coalition in LA believing that they are now more powerful than the general progressive voting bloc, and are no longer beholden to the demands of blacks. De Leon's reelection campaign shows that they are confident that he will endure further accusations of "anti-blackness".

It's California, so it makes sense, but La Raza is an actual threat, the largest racial supremacist group in the nation that somehow is allowed to exist. His kind are probably fine to be contained to cities, but their rhetoric shouldn't be allowed to spread. Lest they try to steal parts of the country back and make it a second-world ethnostate.
If it's not okay to be White, then it's not okay to be Black, Hispanic or whatever either.
As shown everywhere, once there are not enough White people ( the only color-blind ) to act as a buffer / punching-bag, the terminally-diverse area quickly decays into a violent shithole.
I'm just admiring the hypocrisy of the Democrats running a candidate who refuses to denounce racism against blacks, but they can't do anything about it because he's a minority.
Hypocrisy is always worth pointing out. This guy is a perfect example of how they ignore problems in their 'own party' if it is inconvenient.
Next time they get their panties in a twist over a white republican you can remind them that people like De Leon are representatives of their party.
The fucking balls on this guy.

Either way should be fun to watch.
Mexicans hate blacks, like guy above said, they stop paying lip services when they don't need the coalition with blacks anymore.

Sounds like a "let them fight" situation.
