Senator James Sanders Jr. Calls on Three Los Angeles City Council Members to Resign After Racist Comments

Senator James Sanders said: “As elected officials we are held to a higher standard because we have chosen a life of public service and therefore set an example for others. Under those conditions, I am outraged over the disgusting racist remarks made by now-former Los Angeles City Council president Nury Martinez.

Her October 2021 conversation with her colleagues Council Members Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo was caught on tape and just made public recently, prompting many leaders including President Biden, to call for their resignations. I am in agreement with that.

I don’t think anyone in public office should have used the kind of language that Martinez used and since de León and Cedillo failed to intervene they are equally guilty. They should have told her not to use those slurs, that it was wrong and offensive, but they remained silent.
