Los Angeles City Council president Nury Martinez issued a public apology Sunday over statements she says she made"in a moment of intense frustration and anger," while Councilmember Mike Bonin called on her removal as president and her resignation from office.
"In a moment of intense frustration and anger, I let the situation get the best of me and I hold myself accountable for these comments. For that I am sorry," Martinez shared."The context of this conversation was concern over the redistricting process and concern about the potential negative impact it might have on communities of color. My work speaks for itself. I've worked hard to lead this city through its most difficult time.
The Times reported that Martinez allegedly said on the call,"[t]hey're raising him like a little white kid. I was like, this kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner and then I'll bring him back."
