The White House is the latest to denounce Los Angles City Council member Nury Martinez for her racist language revealed in leaked audio, with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calling Martinez’s comments “appalling” and “unacceptable.” Martinez was recorded in a 2021 redistricting meeting with Councilmembers Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo, and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. Martinez has resigned from her post as the president of the council, but not from the council itself, while Herrera resigned Tuesday from the labor federation.
