To a large degree, the media have either ignored the story about a white woman wearing a gorilla mask throwing an egg at California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, or they’ve not made a very big deal out of details that would be the lede if Elder was a Democrat.
Dave Rubin remembers when Democrats and the media helped push the Jussie Smollett hoax, but where are they now?

It starts with VP Kamala Harris, who was all over the Smollett story but is being much quieter this week:
The Democrat hyperventilating over a claim that didn’t happen vs. radio silence over the Elder video speaks volumes:
Hi @SpeakerPelosi. You had a lot to say about this made up hoax. Anything to say about a crazy leftist going after @larryelder while in a gorilla mask? https://t.co/deWBd9lFGg

Hey Wonder Woman of Intellect @aoc, anything to say about the attack on @larryelder by a white woman in a gorilla mask? Or do you only comment on totally made up stories that fit your narrative? https://t.co/u7mteTu4UR

CNN and other media outlets don’t seem too bothered by it, either:

Hey @brianstelter, I know you’re busy trying to figure out what Tucker had for lunch, but have you seen this video of a crazed white leftist in a gorilla mask throwing an egg at @larryelder?
Please share. After all, you are one of the main “Reliable Sources” we have! https://t.co/SCjPGGek01

The media will move on because this particular story doesn’t help forward a Democrat narrative.

Antifa wearing a gorilla mask to assault @larryelder — I would have thought that is tremendously racist.

That’s completely true, and Dems & media help make that more obvious every day.
