Cárdenas Statement on Leaked Audio of Comments by LA City Councilmembers
SAN FERNANDO VALLEY — Congressman Tony Cárdenas (CA-29) released the following statement in response to the leaked audio of comments made by Los Angeles City Councilmembers:
“The callous and racist language we heard used by Los Angeles City Councilmembers is appalling. History has shown us time and again that we can achieve meaningful progress when we set aside our differences and lead with compassion and empathy. This is a reminder that we must continue to work together to collectively build bridges between all of the beautiful and diverse communities of Los Angeles. Council President Martinez must resign from her leadership position and work to mend the pain she has caused Councilman Mike Bonin’s family, her constituents and all Angelenos.”
