For those of you that read right on daily, we love the opportunity to torch liberal democrats and we blasted Clarissa Cervantes for getting her second DUI. The Riverside Press-Enterprise, the day after being called out by Right on Daily for pulling their story on the first DUI sometime in the past, did indeed run a story about the first DUI. They pointed out that the misdemeanor conviction was expunged and had to admit that the expungement did not change the law regarding Cervantes’ second DUI. Your intrepid blogger was ahead of the curve pointing out that her mishap was DUI #2 long before other media outlets.
A Couple Days Later, the CAGOP piled on with an email of their own. This suggests that they saw your intrepid blogger’s post and waited until they had other sources to cite before sending their email:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 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. ### |
I’d like to thank the CAGOP for reading Right on Daily.
— Personal Note to Clarissa Cervantes —
Clarissa – I am an alcoholic. I have been sober over 20 years. It was not easy and it took a lot of work to escape it. Do understand that my attacks were political and about attempting to thwart any campaign you may make for office.
If you are sincere about seeking treatment and this is not a ploy to try and save face to run for office later, I wholeheartedly wish you well. I hope you find the hope and strength you need to get a handle on your addiction. I believe if you do, you will take a long break from public office and my choose to get out of the spotlight for a while if not forever. My sincerest hope is that you place your recovery first and do everything you need to do to beat your addiction.
I will be praying for you, as my desire to see you and anyone else escape the hell of addiction comes first before anything else. Godspeed to you.
