Biden calls for resignation of LA city council members over racist remarks

White House calls recording of council members in a meeting last year ‘unacceptable’ and ‘appalling’

Joe Biden has called for the resignation of three Los Angeles city council members who were caught on tape making racist comments in a meeting last year.

The profanity-laced recordings, which emerged on Sunday, document three Latino city council members and a labor leader discussing the city’s redrawing of council district boundaries amid the redistricting process, as well as the need to re-elect Latino members and protect economic interests within Latino districts.
