De León said he and staffers were assaulted. Progressive group Roots Action alleged that de León assaulted local organizer Jason Reedy.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles City Councilman Kevin de León and activists on Friday night, Dec. 9, exchanged assault allegations related to the embattled councilman’s appearance at a Christmas tree lighting in Lincoln Heights.
One of the people in the group headbutted de León, which caused an altercation between the two men, the station reported. “The escalating rhetoric is hitting a fever pitch, transcending from verbal threats into actual acts of violence and must end before more serious harm or loss of life occurs,” the statement said. “Violence is not free speech and has no place in politics or democracy.”
