After stepping down from her role as LA City Council President after being caught on tape calling a colleague’s black child a ‘little monkey,’ it’s now coming out that in Nury Martinez’s racist tirade she called her Jewish council members ‘the Jews’ and said said ‘they’re going to screw us all.’
Specifically, Martinez refers to Jewish colleagues as ‘judios’, Spanish for Jews. She was referring to former state assemblyman Richard Katz and his team.
In the phone call, which was first revealed by the L.A. Times, she also referred to an Armenian colleague as having ‘one eyebrow’, and said others didn’t have a chance at becoming elected in white neighborhoods.
Martinez also took a swipe at District Attorney George Gascon, saying: ‘He’s with the blacks.’
Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issued a call from President Biden to resign:
‘The language that was used and tolerated during that conversation was unacceptable, and it was appalling.
‘He believes they all should resign.’
Herrera, who was also on the call, resigned after the recording was made public earlier this week.
