And another thing. I haven't forgotten this is the same person who thought he could call my then-boss last year and get him to make me stop talking about his Ed Buck money so he could campaign in peace like it was 1955 and women were beholden to men still.
His candidacy is dead on arrival.
And why would we vote to elect a man who just took a seat on the city council? Nah homie. Finish that out. Stop being greedy. You just got on the city council and already trying to get into another office. That's the problem with 99 percent of elected officials.
I vow to help chase Mike and Kevin on the campaign trail because neither one of those men are fit to lead our city. I will make the time. Don't believe me, just watch.
Kevin caught on camera lying.

"While this fight is as much about getting justice for Ed Buck’s victims it’s also about calling out all of the people and entities along the way who failed them and enabled Ed Buck."
Tonight I hope my Stonewall Democratic Club colleagues will join me in supporting @AlexMohajer for president of Stonewall Dems. I cannot in good conscience support the incumbent given his behavior regarding his friend Ed Buck.
It’s time for new leadership. If the organization really wants to be who they say they are—electing Alex is a good step in moving toward that direction.

ED BUCK TRIAL UPDATE:
Get caught up! Here's my day 7 recap of the Ed Buck trial.
Jury deliberations kickoff on Tues. morning--the 4th anniv. of the death of Gemmel Moore.
Da Baby's comments about HIV and AIDS are exactly why Christopher Darden felt comfortable using the AIDS
and gay panic defense for Ed Buck's benefit. complex.com/music/dababy-h…
"If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up," said the rapper during his performance.
It’s clear that Christopher Darden and Ludlow Creary’s defense of Ed Buck involves weaponizing his victim’s HIV status. Darden and Ludlow are fixated on AIDS and making sure the jury has a negative connotation when they hear it.
The only relevance HIV has in this trial is the fact that Ed Buck is HIV positive and according to his victims, specifically asked them of their status and knew that they were positive when he did what he did to them. But the defense doesn’t want to talk about that.
Ed Buck’s next door neighbor just finished testifying about the foot traffic and Buck soundproofing his apartment after Gemmel Moore’s death. Up next is Buck’s apartment manager.
The LA County Democratic Party has passed a resolution calling on Sheriff Alex Villanueva to resign. I'm glad we were able to get it done this time around. #VillanuevaMustGo
We helped to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing and now it’s our responsibility to right that wrong.
We put a vindictive-self-serving-narcissist-registered-in-name-only Democrat into office–and now it’s time for us to use the same amount of enthusiasm, energy, and money we poured into electing Sheriff Alex Villanueva into removing him from office.
