"Kevin de León and an activist were caught on tape in a physical altercation as de León tries and fails to shake calls for his resignation following leaked audio of de León's racist conversation with fellow LA City Councilperson Nury Martinez."

ABC7 said he claimed he was “head butted” first, before the cameras were rolling.

But in the interview, DeLeon has no visible marks or signs of assault on him. So I’m calling bs. Well, that and the fact he’s a noted liar.

So now I have to wonder if this news is what finally caused people to publicly call for resignations.🤔At first there were tepid, word-salad responses...🤔I wonder if they were gonna downplay this - let her go on vacation, issue an apology, but still keep her position - when they thought it was just us she talked about like trash. 🤷🏿‍♀️ #NuryMartinez #RonHerrera #GilCedillo #KevinDeLeon

He said "I call on Los Angeles City Councilmembers #NuryMartinez, #KevinDeLeon, and #GilCedillo to resign and take full responsibility".

Clear. Direct. Decisive. I appreciate that. I wish
@KarenBassLA was as direct.🤷🏿‍♀️
