That accusation did not sit well with the Avance Democratic Club: 'I'm here to say that every candidate who seeks our endorsement plays by the same rules.'
That accusation did not sit well with the Avance Democratic Club: "I'm here to say that every candidate who seeks our endorsement plays by the same rules."During the second debate in the race for Los Angeles mayor, Congresswoman Karen Bass upped her attacks against developer Rick Caruso, accusing him of lying about being a Democrat."The largest Latino Democratic club, one of the largest in the country, endorsed me," said Caruso.
"Congresswoman Bass deliberately insulted us last night, in last night's mayoral debate," said Nilza Serrano, the president of the Avance Democratic Club. "She insinuated that our club was for sale and somehow our endorsement illegitimate. I'm here to say that every candidate who seeks our endorsement plays by the same rules."
That's exactly what Bass did, saying "accountability and transparency starts with me, and when I make a mistake, I own it. I shouldn't have said what I said. I sincerely apologize to Avance and its membership." "I certainly knew of some of Scientology's abuses. I didn't know depth of them. I learned it later," said Bass.
