..."Would they write the same kind of blase headline were say, Stacey Abrams, attacked by a white wearing a gorilla mask? The question answers itself.
"As Saavedra notes, this would be the same Los Angeles Times that ran a headline a couple of weeks ago calling Larry Elder "the black face of white supremacy," in some amazingly pretzeled Orwellian newspeak.
"That didn't work, of course, so now, they claim that Elder was leaving based on the "hostile reception" he drew as if were the bad guy here who somehow brought on a bad reaction from some displeased voters because he somehow brought it on himself by his unpopular ideas. The racist nature of the attack and the disgustingness of the human being who launched the projectile attack, which could have caused injury, were never focused on. Who was she, and why wasn't she arrested for assault intended to interfere with the democratic process, that same democratic process Democrats are still howling about in the Jan. 6 incident? Nope, this was just a "hostile reception," something supposedly to be expected, instead of a racist organized attack. Nothing to see here...
"Was Bull Connor resisting racial desegregation orders in the Jim Crow South just a 'hostile reception? Were the lumpy characters blocking the schoolhouse door and spraying foul graffiti complete with hurled tomatos to a little black girl in New Orleans in 1964 just a "hostile reception"?
In black and white this photo feels very reminiscent of the dark history of deep racism in the Democratic Party. They may have new masks but the hate is still alive within so many of them. The rest of us have @larryelder’s back. pic.twitter.com/Av1fOeyY1Q
