Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin called on fellow council members Nury Martinez and Kevin de Leon to resign after the revelation of a leaked audio in which Martinez makes racist remarks about Bonin’s son.

The audio — obtained by the Los Angeles Times here — has rocked the City Council, which in recent years already has been the focus of a series of corruption scandals.

City of Police Michel Moore called it a “dark day for our City of Angels.” In the audio, which surfaced on Reddit, Martinez, the council president, called Bonin’s Black son “parece changuito,” or like a monkey.

She also can be heard saying, “They’re raising him like a little white kid which I was like, ‘this kid needs a beatdown. Let me take him around the corner and then I’ll bring him back.'” She also referred to Bonin as that “little bitch.” De Leon appeared to agree with Martinez’s comparison of Bonin’s child to an accessory, noting it was like holding a Louis Vuitton handbag, according to the Times.
