(Jewish Group) 'Off the wall:' What the Jewish man slurred in leaked LA city council recording says

‘Off the wall:’ What the Jewish man slurred in leaked LA city council recording has to say about it

The most jarring remarks in a leaked audio conversation among three Los Angeles city council members and a local labor leader target a Black child — the son of a white council member accused of using the boy as a political prop.

But the recording released a week ago also slurs other groups, including Jews.

“I’m sure Katz and his crew have an agenda,” Los Angeles Federation of Labor head Ron Herrera said in the leaked recording of a meeting with city council members late last year.

“Los Judíos cut their deal with South L.A.,” then-council president Nury Martinez replied, using the Spanish words for Jews. “They’re gonna screw over everyone else.”

Herrera was referring to Richard Katz, a Jewish former California state assemblyman who served on LA’s redistricting commission last year. Katz, 72, was appointed to the role by Bob Blumenfield, the city’s third district council member, who is also Jewish. (Blumenfield’s district did not change much in the redistricting.)
