Critics lash out at the woman who was seen on camera wearing a gorilla mask while throwing an egg at California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder while visiting a homeless camp in Los Angeles.

“Blatant racist wearing gorilla mask attacked @larryelder, these people are completely off balance,” former Republican candidate for Virginia House of Delegates, Jeffrey A. Dove Jr., tweeted in response to video of the incident .

Elder was visiting a homeless camp in Venice Beach on Wednesday when the woman in black and wearing a gorilla mask tossed an egg at the host of a conservative radio show. The egg did not touch Elder.

A member of the Elders security team approached the woman, prompting her to say, “Get your hands off me, mother! Touch me again! Touch me again!

She is seen trying to punch the man in the face, prompting other people to intervene. Another woman in the crowd was also seen punching a member of the Elders team on the side of her face.

A group of seniors cut the tour short and drove off in a white SUV.

The Conservative candidate said later Wednesday that his security team had been assaulted and “shot dead with a pellet gun”, but added that “the intolerant left will not stop us”.

“Today I kicked off the Recall Express bus tour. Before I even left Los Angeles, my security guard was physically assaulted, shot with a pellet gun and hit with projectiles. The intolerant left will not stop us. We will remember Gavin Newsom. We will save California, “Elder tweeted Wednesday night.

The recall election will be held Sept. 14 in California, with Elder leading the pack of Republican candidates.

Gov. Gavin Newsom came under close scrutiny last year amid his coronavirus policies and lockdowns, especially after a photo surfaced last fall showing him having dinner in a chic restaurant without a mask and surrounded by people outside its own home.

Despite the violence Elder faced during the election campaign, his Recall Express bus will continue to tour the state, with Elder tweeting Wednesday evening about an upcoming visit to Bakersfield next week.
