California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder got a hostile reception as he toured a Venice homeless encampment Wednesday — with one woman in a pink gorilla mask chucking an egg that narrowly missed the radio talk show host’s head.
Video tweeted by Spectrum News reporter Kate Cagle showed the unidentified black-clad woman steering her bike into position a few feet from Elder’s left shoulder before letting fly with the missile.
When the woman was confronted by a member of Elder’s security team, she told him to “take your hands off me, motherf—er! Touch me again! Touch me again!” She then aimed a left hook at the man, leading others to step in and break up the confrontation.
The security guard was then menaced by another man wearing all black before a second woman slapped him on the side of his head. As the Elder team member was led away, the candidate was hustled into a white SUV. Someone from the crowd yelled to “get that piece of s–t out of here” as the vehicle pulled away.
