LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles City Council member Kevin de León said in a television interview airing Wednesday night that he "will not resign," according to a partial transcript of the interview released by Noticiero Univision.
"I'm so sorry. I am extremely sorry, and that is why I apologize to all my people, to my entire community, for the damage caused by the painful words that were carried out that day last year," de León said in the interview with Noticiero Univision anchor León Krauze, according to the transcript. The interview was conducted at Univision 34's studio in Los Angeles.
"No, I will not resign, because there is a lot of work ahead," de León said, citing the homelessness crisis.
