3:18Now PlayingOutrage seizes Los Angeles, California as Councilmember Kevin de León refuses to resign despite calls for him to leave following the leaked racist audio recordings. John Iadarola and Jessica Burbank break it down on The Damage Report.
Read more here:
"Councilmember Kevin de León told Tom Wait today in an exclusive interview that he is refusing to resign from LA City Council, but rather hopes to work towards repairing relationships that have been damaged in recent weeks.
"I have to do the hard work. I have to repair. I have to help heal. I have to help restore," the councilman said.
Despite rampant calls for resignation in the nearly two weeks since the leaked audio, de León does not follow the steps of Councilmember Nury Martinez who resigned last Wednesday afternoon.
De León said he refused to resign so he can ensure that his constituents in District 14 continue to be represented on City Council.
"It's about City District 14," he said. "A district that's been underrepresented and has gone through much difficulty in the past without political representation... They do deserve political representation.""
