Gavin Newsom Silent as Larry Elder Hits Back Against Racist Egg Attack: ‘Intolerant Left Will Not Stop Us’
Hours after a shocking video went viral showing Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder dodging an egg thrown by a far-left activist in a gorilla mask, the GOP front-runner announced on Twitter that he will not be stopped.
In a tweet Wednesday evening, Elder vowed to “save California” and refused to let himself be intimidated.
“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,” he tweeted.

Conservative pundits on Twitter noted that the entire mainstream media apparatus would be abuzz with accusations of racism if Larry Elder were a Democrat being egged by a Republican wearing a gorilla mask:
Put any black Democrat in that picture and you have the cover of every newspaper in America tomorrow.
The people are with you @larryelder.https://t.co/QCohv7h4Mw https://t.co/WTR2qzhldT

The white woman in the gorilla mask who attacked Larry Elder committed a hate crime. Why is she not in jail?

Larry Elder, a black man, getting egged in the street by a white liberal woman wearing a monkey face mask is literally just as racist as blackface. Why are liberals so racist?

Racist white liberals just assaulted Larry Elder with eggs. They weren’t arrested or anything. This is sick. Vote YES on the recall and vote for Larry Elder. It’s the only way to make these animals pay.

A leftist dressed up like a monkey threw eggs at Larry Elder today…
But don’t worry…. it’s not racist because they call him a “white supremacist” …right?

The newspaper that called Larry Elder a “white supremacist” in a headline now refuses to state in a headline that a white person wearing a monkey mask attacked him. https://t.co/wwgV8FMt4s
