Elder forcefully denies brandishing weapon on ex-fiancee: 'Politics of personal destruction'
Fox News
Republican California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder forcefully pushed back on a claim from his former fiancee that he brandished a gun during a heated argument the two had in 2015.
"People do not get into public life precisely because of this type of politics of personal destruction. I am not going to dignify this with a response—it’s beneath me," he added. "While my opponents and the Newsom campaign would love to keep voters distracted, I am going to stay focused on the issues that inspired 1.7 million Californians to petition for this recall." His statement follows a claim from Alexandra Datig that she broke off their 18-month engagement in 2015 after Elder waved a gun at her during an argument.More Related News
