Los Angeles Times has published a misleading photo with an accompanying headline that falsely suggested that California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder, a black Republican, slapped a woman at a campaign stop where he was attacked.

The LA Times article dated Sept. 9 reports that the Los Angeles Police Department is now investigating the attack on Elder. The headline entitled, “LAPD is investigating altercation involving Larry Elder at Venice homeless encampment,” paired with a photo of Elder touching a female supporter’s face, frames the GOP contender as the aggressor in the unspecified “altercation involving” Elder.
Elder, however, is the victim of the assault in question. Both the headline and the story’s promotional tweet fail to mention that the black Republican was attacked by a white assailant wearing a gorilla mask who threw eggs at Elder while he was walking along the encampment-filled 3rd Avenue in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

A woman who says she was in the photo with Elder took to Twitter to expose the Los Angeles Times in a series of tweets calling out the slanted coverage.
