Erika D. Smith of the Los Angeles Times just penned a column that's getting quite a bit of attention. It's titled, "Larry Elder is the Black face of white supremacy. You've been warned."
The fact that Smith also is black underscores the breadth of pushback that Elder — a conservative political commentator — has been receiving since he announced his candidacy in the recall election of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
TheBlaze on Friday noted that left-wing political groups are shocked and horrified that Newsom, a Democrat, could actually lose the recall to upstart Elder.
What did the columnist write?
Smith pulled no punches in her attempted takedown of Elder, pointing out his "smug smile of a Black conservative" and saying nothing angers her more "than watching a Black person use willful blindness and cherry-picked facts to make overly simplistic arguments that whitewash the complex problems that come along with being Black in America."
