Addressing activists ‘in their words,’ Koretz drops expletive in his goodbye speech
In their respective farewell speeches during their final City Council meeting on Friday, Paul Koretz and Mitch O’Farrell both made reference to the protesters who have regularly filled the chamber in recent months.
O’Farrell called out what he saw as an “unfortunate place” of “hate and incivility” becoming socially acceptable behavior.Protesters have regularly shown up at meetings demanding that Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo resign before the city conducts its business. On Friday, de León tried to attend his first meeting in nearly two months, showing up in the middle of the meeting. But he left after protesters began shouting and Council President Paul Krekorian called a recess.
O’Farrell said that “unchecked ideology” from both the extreme right and left has led to a rise in hate incidents and the spread of disinformation, calling out social media and “some in our mainstream media here in Los Angeles.”Koretz was more direct when addressing the protesters. He said he was feeling a “combined sense of loss but also a great sense of relief” to say goodbye to City Hall.
