LA Times Runs Deceptive Picture Depicting Gubernatorial Candidate Lewis Elder Slapping Woman

The La Times has been accused of running a deceitful photo alongside a topic concerning a recent attack upon Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder.

In a Thursday article entitled, “ LAPD is checking out altercation involving Larry Elder at Venice homeless encampment, ” [ archived ] editors used an LA Times photo in which it looked like Elder is slapping a woman.

“ His party gubernatorial candidate Larry Older meets supporters during a tour in Venice on Wednesday, ” the image is captioned.

That caption, however , doesn’t appear on Twitter, where the photo paired using the headline made it appear as though LAPD was investigating Elder for slapping a woman – which never happened.

The perceived mass media dishonesty was immediately captured by many online, including the lady in the photo, Soledad Ursua.

Yesterday @larryelder has been my guest. We were attacked by a group yelling ethnic slurs, a white female in a gorilla mask threw eggs. Yet @latimes finds a deceiving pic of us about to hug to befuddle the story- a DETEST CRIME was committed against a black man working for Governor of CALIFORNIA pic. tweets. com/RJxm2rmDiw

Are you kidding me? You use this picture to make it appear like @larryelder is slapping me personally? He was attacked by a white female wearing a Gorilla Mask. Are you covering to get racists? Disgusting @GloriaJRomero @ShellenbergerMD @DavidSacks @JennyChachan @streetpeopleLA @EmilyTVproducer

That picture makes it seem like you were confronting @larryelder and he was responding physically. Absolutely misleading! Are there any depths to which today’s media will not kitchen sink to manipulate public opinion?

Ursua explained the picture was taken just before the lady was about to hug Older.

We all hugged as soon as he got off the bus. Why couldn’t the picture be of that? This strange angle can make it look like his hands take my face

Regarding 20 hours later after much outcry, the LA Times swapped its photograph out, albeit sans a good editor’s note, clarification, or any type of other explanation for the swap.

The photo utilized now shows the moments after the incident in which Elder was attacked.

Evidently the same photo was used being a main image in a different article, which attempted to downplay the attack many are talking about as a hate crime by saying Elder was merely met with a “ hostile reception. ”

Look at these two tweets from the LA Times. The first downplays the racist strike against Larry Elder simply by describing it as a “ hostile reception. ” The 2nd makes it seem like the LAPD is investigating Elder using a photo as if he’s slapping a woman. This wasn’t a car accident. At all. picture. twitter. com/QLyxt3w9AM

The attack from violent leftists on Elder came Wednesday as he toured a homeless encampment in Los Angeles.

A woman wearing a pink-haired gorilla mask threw an ovum at him and other protesters hit a member of their group in the face multiple times.
