Larry Elder: Mainstream Media ‘Didn’t Give a Rip’ about Egg-Throwing Attack

Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder took aim at the mainstream media on Monday after an incident in which a woman in a gorilla mask threw eggs at him last week received scant coverage.

“Had I had a ‘D’ at the end of my name, this would have been a hate crime,” said Elder, who is black.

“They would have had a manhunt for her,” he added, referring to the white woman who attacked him.

“They’d be talking about this in Bangladesh but because I have an ‘R’ at the end of my name, a lot of the mainstream media didn’t give a rip,” he said.
