Calls for LA City Council president to resign after racist remarks

The president of the Los Angeles City Council has resigned following the release of a secretly recorded conversation during which she used a vile racist slur to refer to the child of a fellow council member. Nury Martinez made the insult during a conversation about redistricting and its possible impact on communities of color. The fallout from the remarks is growing, and calls are intensifying for her to step down from the council altogether.
