L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva calls Larry Elder attack a hate crime, urges outrage from politicians.
If you missed it, Elder -- the conservative talk radio host-turned candidate -- was in Venice Beach when a white woman wearing a gorilla mask with pink hair threw the egg and punched one of Elder's security staffers.
The Sheriff answered his own question, tweeting ..."'woke privilege' means a white woman can wear a gorilla mask and attack a black man without fear of being called a racist." He also, mockingly, wondered why all the normally outraged politicians aren't speaking up in Elder's defense. Villanueva clearly thinks it's hypocrisy, and there's no outrage purely because Elder is a conservative, who's also the leading Republican candidate in California's recall election.Wednesday, hitting one of Elder's staffers. No one was injured, but cops are searching for that suspect as well as the egg tosser and a bald man ... also seen striking one of Elder's staffers.
