California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder was physically assaulted by a Democrat woman wearing a racist gorilla mask on Wednesday and has now responded with a powerful message.
The shocking incident was captured on video and shows Elder being heckled by a white woman in a gorilla mask, pelting eggs at Elder’s face.
Elder and his entourage appear mostly safe but it is disturbing to see this happen. A man in a blue mask yells about Elder running, asking why he’s even running. He says Democrats control everything and even if Elder won he wouldn’t get anything done, according to the man.
Elder has responded to the attacks with a strong message, giving more detail on what happened and saying he would not allow the intolerant left to stop him from saving California:
Today I kicked off the Recall Express bus tour. Before we even left Los Angeles, my security detail was physically assaulted, shot with a pellet gun, and hit with projectiles. The intolerant left will not stop us. We will recall Gavin Newsom. We will save California.

“Today I kicked off the Recall Express bus tour. Before we even left Los Angeles, my security detail was physically assaulted, shot with a pellet gun, and hit with projectiles. The intolerant left will not stop us. We will recall Gavin Newsom. We will save California.”
In the liberal mecca of Los Angeles, it really wouldn’t surprise me if shooting someone with a pellet gun is a felony. In either case, these assaults should not be tolerated by local officials on a candidate for office and I hope these radicals were arrested and thrown in jail.
