Los Angeles official involved in racism scandal caught fighting activist on video

Kevin de Leon, who has resisted resigning after the debacle, was involved in an altercation in which he appears to push an organizer

Kevin de Leon, the embattled Los Angeles city council member involved in a racism scandal that threw city hall into upheaval, is facing criticism again after video footage captured him in a physical fight with an activist.

De Leon, who has resisted calls to resign, made his first in-person appearance at a council meeting in nearly two months on Friday. Hours later he was involved in an altercation at a holiday toy giveaway in which video appeared to show him shoving a local organizer.
