Gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder ended early a walk-through of his next campaign stop at Venice Beach, when over 10 hecklers harassed him, throwing projectiles, and allegedly assaulted his bodyguard on Sept. 8.

During a tour of Venice Beach’s homeless encampments, Elder was joined by 30 media personnel and members of the public when a group of hecklers approached them on 3rd Street. Two hecklers were repeatedly shouting racial slurs.
