Kevin de León was told by a fellow LA City Council member during a meeting that he was not welcome in the chambers.
City Council had just concluded taking public comment at Tuesday's meeting when Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez stood up to speak.," Hernandez said.
"Stop trying to stoke division so that you can pursue your political ambitions, Kevin," Abdullah said. "It's shameful, it's evil and we will follow you until you are gone."A few of de León's supporters also spoke during public comment.
Hernandez added that she would be throwing her "full support" behind recall efforts to oust de León from office. She claimed that de León has had "numerous job offers" along with opportunities to resign his post, but he has declined to. That left her to assume that his only motivation for staying on the council is for "personal gain and ego."
"It was just a firestorm that just took all the oxygen out of the room almost immediately and etched in stone a certain narrative that I find to be highly inaccurate, and not reflective of me as human being, as a man, as my value and principles," de León said.
