LOS ANGELES — The fight between embattled Councilman Kevin de León and an activist Friday night has heightened the simmering tensions in Los Angeles politics over the leak of racist audio that has rocked City Hall.
De León — the only of the three council members on the recording to still be in office — has sparked protests outside his home and at City Hall.
What happened Friday night at a holiday gift giveaway in Lincoln Heights took matters to another level.
