Her resignation is due to backlash she was receiving for criticizing councilman Mike Bonin\u2019s adopted Black son.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, a leaked audio recording from October 2021 between Martinez and other leaders resurfaced. In the video she recalled an MLK parade that Bonin and his son attended. She referred to the boy as a monkey in Spanish.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe kid is bouncing off the effing walls on the float, practically tipping it over,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing you can do to control him, parece changuito.

He also brought up her desire to physically harm his son.<\/p>\n<p>Councilman Kevin de Le\u00f3n, who was also part of the conversation, criticized Bonin by saying that he won\u2019t ever say a word about Latinos. De Le\u00f3n issued an apology on Sunday. He said that his comments were inappropriate and that he regrets appearing to condone and even contribute to certain insensitive comments made about a colleague and their family.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Political analyst Ange-Marie Hancock discussed the repercussions of the scandal. She called the remarks extremely damaging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe racial remarks were extremely damaging, in terms of, each of these people representing the entire city of Los Angeles,\u201d she said. \u201cCertainly they represent their districts, and it\u2019s not clear whether or not their voters will hold them accountable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Several council members have called their remarks unacceptable. One council member said that the remarks were was racist, homophobic and deeply cruel.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime Martinez, who still remains a member of the council, released a statement apologizing. She said that in a moment of intense frustration and anger she let the situation get the best of her. She went on to state that there are no excuses for her remarks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los Angeles Councilman Kevin de Le\u00f3n and Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez.
