Embattled Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León defended his decision not to resign, as colleagues continue to shun him and, last week, he got into a physical altercation with an activist at a community event.that he planned to attend a council meeting on Tuesday, even though proceedings have been interrupted and even delayed as activists shout calls for him to step down.
“Tens of millions of Americans go to work every single day with folks that they don’t like. But you know what they do? They get up and they go to work. They don’t have the luxury that some folks do when they want to walk out.” De León told CNN’s Kate Bolduan “if you don’t think I’m profoundly sorry for participating in that meeting, and for not standing up and shutting that meeting down, and shutting down the vitriolic comments from the then-president of the council, who did eventually resign, that is something I will forever be sorry for.”
