How does this councilman peace of crap still have a job?!
He needs to resign , and go be racist on his on time not on the tax payer dime
It should be noted all of the people asked to resign in the meeting were of Hispanic descent, just more incentive to back the building of the wall & support of stricter immigration and visa laws. The nerve of them to be racist when The Civil Rights Movement gave them the privilege to even be afforded the opportunity to even come here yet they try to be racist towards a white man with a black child, and black people as well. Send them back home, deport them all!
what is at issue here??? what was brought up in the meeting?
Grow up
Tis the season 🙄
They are disgusting they need to step down
Your for head does not look like I got hit with a man thrusting his forehead to yours
I call B.S. on the assault off camera. Head butts and punches to the face leave marks.,there are none.
Step down. You clearly can’t do the job under the cloud of this scandal.
Well done sir, well done.
You can't physically attack a man and expect him not to defend himself
I don't care what is the issue, but this is just not OK!!
Ty🙏
Like the Biden fingerbang scandal
He needs to step down. He’s a racist pig.
Who has the time to be camping outside of a council members house? Sure he's a bad guy or whatever but don't people have lives
Strife stirrers🥱losers🤪
Looks staged
Keep Protesting Don't Give Up don't care what party you belong to we're not going to tolerate any racist and the racism. Karen Bass didn't want you there anyway .
You are a part of the problem if you didn't stand up against the Racism when you had the opportunity. You kept Silent and Laughed. Resign because you are either Racist or Spineless; either way you need to listen to your constituents! Resign! I suggest you go into boxing because you out here looking like Oscar De La Hoya!
is the agitator fault, you can't get in someone faces like that.
Is this an example of leftist politics?
Get that pos out of office asap
Democrats really hate this guy and NBC's coverage reflects this, but he defended himself from a monster who showed up at a children's event to commit violence.
Are you now advocating for violence against candidates you dislike? That's very clearly a two way street…. 🤔
It becomes clearer and clearer why some lighter skinned Hispanics are moving to the NeoRepublican Fascist Party. The evil in America are lining up against the good in America. May the racists and fascists fail in their foul endeavors.
Getting In someone's face and blocking their freedom of movement and ability to leave that tight room…..I'd say that other guy was at fault. He was looking for a confrontation on camera with that council member. Looking for a payout.
Don't step up in other men's faces. That's how people get hurt.
Just keep your hands and other appendages to yourselves, kids. No matter which 'team' you've enlisted with.
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.
This is hilarious. So many weak people out west starting at the top. Pathetic.
You can't govern with hate in your heart unless you're a republican.
If that guy was in my face like that he would have been punched right in his nose.
Sad.
Is that bolsonoro?
Wouldn't expect anything else from a lying, violent, leftist, parasitic politician.
