(CNN)The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating domestic violence accusations against California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder -- allegations he has denied.
"The department was made aware of domestic violence accusations against Larry Elder," an LAPD spokesperson told CNN, but they said additional details on the allegations would not be made public "due to the confidential nature of domestic violence investigations."
The police said in a statement to CNN that nothing would be made public until "allegations can be investigated thoroughly and submitted to the district attorney's office for filing consideration."
The accusations stem from an alleged 2015 incident described to CNN by Elder's then-fiancée and former employee Alexandra Datig.

The amazing thing is that Larry Elder proudly ran sexist ads to promote his radio show in the 1990s. Nonetheless, this could be a selling point to a sexist, incel right wing base that could put him over the top in a low turnout recall election.

(CNN)"Glass ceiling? Ha! What glass ceiling? Women, women exaggerate the problem of sexism," radio host Larry Elder said in a 1996 ad for his radio show.
Then a hand slaps him across the face.
"Blacks exaggerate the significance of racism," Elder adds. Another slap. "Medicare should be abolished," he continues. Slap. With each new comment, a hand slaps Elder across his face.
"What'd I say?" a grinning Elder asks as the ad concludes.

Just because he thinks the killing of Philando Castile was justified, but Ashli Babbitt's was not.
Maybe (to paraphrase Frangela) he just likes the biscuits in the big house.
