Former Los Angeles council president Nury Martinez resigned from her leadership role today after audio leaked of her making racist comments. The Los Angeles Times first broke the story of a leaked conversation that took place in October of 2021, from a meeting attended by Martinez as well as council members Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, plus the president of the LA County Federation of Labor, Ron Herrera. All are Latino democrats. Julián Castro, former U.S. secretary of Housing and Urban Development, joins The ReidOut with his analysis. - Aired on 10/10/2022.

1. If they haven't resigned from their seats yet they will because they are finished.

3. She needs to go!

Resign your job, lady. You're not Democratic material.

6. What I hate ....

Is that dirtbag Rick Caruso (running for Mayor of Low Angeles) is saying that Dems are okay with this kind of racist behavior.

Has this racist dirt bag not seen the guy who he gave tons of money to who stole one election in 2016 and who tried to steal another election saying that Joe Biden stole the 2020 General Election from him? Has his ass seen Marjorie Taylor Green and Boebert's racist asses day after day spewing racism and vitriol? Guess he missed Tuberville and the other hundreds of GQP US Taliban tReasonous assholes" Party taking racist almost on the regular. He's a recently turned Dem. He's no more Dem than Josh Hawley is.

7. Yep.

And that's the difference between us and them. That's why she needs to go.
