Biden calls for LA City Council members caught on tape making racist remarks to step down

President Biden has called on embattled Los Angeles Councilwoman Nury Martinez and other council members present when she made racist remarks to step down, the White House said.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden believes “they all should” resign in light of the Martinez’s comments where she called a colleague’s young black son “that little monkey” in Spanish.

“Look, the president is glad to see that one of the participants in that conversation has resigned,” Jean-Pierre said during a press briefing Tuesday, following the resignation of city labor chief Ron Herrera, who was present when the remarks were made.
