Larry Elder On ‘Gorilla’ Attack: If I Were Liberal, The Left Would Be Screaming About ‘Systemic Racism’

California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder responds to a hateful attack against him by a woman wearing a gorilla mask while on a campaign stop. In an interview on Thursday, Elder said if he were a liberal and attacked by a white woman, the left would be screaming about systemic racism.

In a separate tweet, he stressed “the intolerant left will not stop us” from recalling embattled Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). Elder pointed out the incident was much worse than it seems because his staffers were also allegedly attacked.

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.
