Former Salem radio host and California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder was physically attacked by a deranged woke women wearing a gorilla mask on Wednesday while he campaigned in Los Angeles.
The woman approached Elder from the back on a bike and threw an egg at his head. She missed and was approached by a member of Elder's security team, who she then punched while screaming profanities. A man who was with her also attacked the security guard.

Elder confirmed and addressed the situation on Twitter.
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.

Last week, the Los Angeles Times published an op-ed titled, "Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy."
The recall election against Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who Elder plans to unseat, is on Tuesday, September 14.
