Larry Elder attacked by egg-throwing agitators in Los Angeles

Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder had eggs thrown at him while walking in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Elder was walking through the Venice neighborhood with members of his campaign team when the attack happened.

Videos of the incident show a first egg flying through the air and nearly hitting Elder. A member of Elder’s team is then seen putting his arm on the candidate’s back and saying: “We’re getting egged from behind.”
