SPEECH - L.A. City Council Censures Councilmembers Over Racist Remarks

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 26: (SPEECH) City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez speaks about redistricting during an L.A. City Council meeting on October 26, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. The 12 city councilmembers at Wednesday's meeting unanimously voted to censure City Councilmembers Kevin de León, Gil Cedillo and former L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez in the aftermath of the release of a profanity-laced recording which revealed racist comments amid a discussion of city redistricting between the three members and former Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. This is believed to be the first time L.A. City Councilmembers have been censured. (Footage by Kaelin Mendez/Getty Images)
