Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva called an egg-throwing attack this week on Black Republican recall candidate Larry Elder by a White woman wearing a gorilla mask a hate crime and blamed "woke privilege" for liberal silence on the issue.
"QUESTION: How is this not a hate crime? ANSWER: Because "woke privilege" means a white woman can wear a gorilla mask and attack a black man without fear of being called a racist. Where is the outrage from our politicians?" Villanueva tweeted on Thursday.
Villanueva said he plans to investigate the attack as a hate crime because the woman wore a gorilla mask, the Washington Examiner reported.
Elder, the Republican frontrunner in the election that could remove Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom from office next week, was hurried out of the Venice area of Los Angeles on Wednesday when the campaign stop turned confrontational near a homeless encampment. He was heckled and the gorilla-masked woman on a bicycle just missed his head. Elder said some of the hecklers yelled racial epithets.
Newsom has remained silent on the attack and has yet to respond to Fox News' question on whether he would condemn the attack.
No arrests have been made yet.
The candidate himself wasn’t so quick to label the egg thrower racist.
"I’m not somebody who pulls out the race card the way Barack Obama does, the way Al Sharpton does, the way CNN does, the way Black Lives Matter does," Elder told Fox News on Thursday. "Maybe it was just an idiot. Maybe it was just a fool. Maybe it was just someone who doesn’t like Larry Elder."

Maybe it IS true, that communists can’t be racists, to which I say, BS. Good for the sheriff.
The sheriff should start by investigating why there were no police there to arrest the perpetrators on the spot.
Dry run to assassinate him.
Yes they are that driven.
“Woke Privilege”
I like that. It turns the “White Privilege” lie on its head.
Is anyone else stunned that Villanueva recognized this?
I’m shocked. I hope they pursue this crime.
Absolutely. I kept waiting for the “but” that would take it all back.
I’m surprised. Good response from Mr. Elder.
Well, it’s sort of like suddenly realizing your gender and identifying as that. If one identifies as a Republican, then it is impossible for them to be a victim of a hate crime. They are then ipso facto, an “oppressor” and a racist.
“Is anyone else stunned that Villanueva recognized this?”
Why would you say that? The sheriff is at war with the racists on the LA county board. The LA racists hate Villanueva because he represents his constituents - the Mexicans and his allies.
Villanueva doesn’t take any crap from the black, racist hustlers, unlike our Republican weenies. The LA racists are terrified that the Mexicans will soon take over LA and drive the black racists out of the city. And then LA will be a better place to live for everyone.
Where was Joy Behar ? Worth asking .. In MY View
yeah for liberals it is SELECTIVE outrage.
The silence from Demonicrat celebs and politicians will increase the vote for Larry Elder.
