Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement on the recently released recordings of Los Angeles City Councilmembers and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President making a number of hateful statements.
“I know Mike Bonin, his husband Sean, and their wonderful son. Nothing can change the fact that they are a beautiful, amazing family.
"When Mike and Sean’s son grows up, he will read that a small handful of so called leaders in Los Angeles made vile, disgraceful and racist comments. He will also read that the entire community rose up and shamed these officials, lifted up Mike and his family, and showed the love and respect that make Southern California such an inviting place for all people.
"L.A. Councilmembers Nury Martinez, Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo must resign from the council and Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera must step down from his post.”
