Larry Elder After Attack From White Woman In Gorilla Mask: ‘If I Were A Democrat … This Would Be Called Systemic Racism. They’d Call It A Hate Crime.’

Appearing on Fox News with host Jesse Watters, California GOP gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, who is the leading GOP candidate to replace California Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom should he be recalled on September 14,  was asked about the incident earlier this week in which a white woman in a gorilla mask fired an egg at him. He responded, “Well, she might be one of the 20,000 people that were released early from our prisons, felons, many of whom were violent offenders under this governor,” adding, “If I were a Democrat, obviously, this would be called systemic racism; they’d call it a hate crime.”

Watters prompted, “So you see the white lady in the gorilla mask, throwing eggs. What exactly happened there, Larry?”
