WATCH: White Woman Wearing Monkey Mask Throws Egg At Larry Elder

California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder had eggs thrown at him on Wednesday while walking on the streets of Los Angeles with members of his campaign.

A video posted by a local news reporter showed a woman who was wearing a pink wig and a gorilla mask ride up on her bike to within several feet of Elder and throw an egg in the direction of his head.

Numerous people online quickly noted the racist aspect of the incident because of the mask that she was wearing and the fact that Elder is black.

The woman then appeared to get into a verbal altercation with someone who seemed to be working security. She is shown on the video appearing to strike the man in the face with her fist.

“A flying egg narrowly missed the back of recall candidate @larryelder ‘s head after it was thrown by an activist wearing a gorilla mask in Venice,” Kate Cagle, a reporter with Spectrum News 1, said in a tweet that featured video of the incident. “A scuffle broke out and the candidate was escorted into an SUV.”
