The California Legislative Black Caucus said the recording “reveals an appalling effort to decentralize Black voices during the critical redistricting process.” "The trust is not there anymore,” Loera said in an interview before de Leon announced his decision to remain on the Council. “I feel very bad, I feel very sorry for the damage, for the wounds that exist today in our communities,” he said.
“I ask for forgiveness from all my people, my community for the damage that those painful words caused on that day,” he said.
