ICYMI: Dems Double Down on DUIs
Move over DUI Dave Min, looks like California Democrats have ANOTHER drunk driver in their midst.
Democrats were probably hoping you missed this story over the holiday weekend, so we’ll fill you in: Riverside Councilmember and candidate for the targeted 58th Assembly District Clarissa Cervantes was arrested for DUI in Banning, CA on July 1.
Sadly, this isn’t Swerving Cervantes’ first rodeo; in fact, this is her second DUI in 8 years! Even worse, this comes just six weeks after she had her DUI from 2015 that she earned with a blood-alcohol level nearly double the legal limit dismissed by a judge. Cervantes promised the judge she would never repeat her mistake… Spoiler alert: she broke her promise.
This offense is serious. Cervantes, who is looking to succeed her sister, current Democrat Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes from Riverside County, not only put her life at risk but those of innocent Californians who shared the road with her that night.
As KCAL reports, “two arrests within a 10-year period could result in jail time of up to one year and a two-year driver’s license suspension, according to the California Vehicle Code.”
Bottom line: One DUI Democrat in Sacramento is already too many (looking at you, State Senator and CA-47 candidate Dave Min).The last thing Californians need is another Democrat politician like Clarissa Cervantes who disregards public safety, endangers fellow Californians, and still believes they should be rewarded with a promotion to higher office.
