Brownsville City Commissioner Cesar De Leon is in hot water after a recording of him calling two-African American prosecutors “f***ing n***ers” surfaced on social media on Tuesday.
De Leon, a Democrat, apologized for the racist remarks on Wednesday but defended what he said as a “private conversation.”
“I want to begin by apologizing,” De Leon told The Brownsville Herald. “I want to apologize to the citizens of Brownsville or whoever had to listen to those tapes because there is a lot of profane language and that was a private conversation. It was never meant to be public, but it’s very important that people understand that I’m very apologetic.”
