Domestic Violence Allegations Against David Rivera

David Rivera is running for Congress. Rivera's previous claim to fame is sponsoring legislation to move the Florida 2008 presidential primary to February 5th. The result was disasterous. Rivera unsuccessfully attempted to have a University of Florida school named after Jeb Bush.

Rivera was a Mike Huckabee volunteer in New Hampshire. Rivera nearly got himself run over by running into the street and hand drivers oranges. A police officer chewed Rivera out for endangering traffic. Rivera has championed himself as a fiscal conservative. Rivera and friend Marco Rubio have a hard time complaining how they let their Tallahassee get foreclosed on.

Now Rivera is being accused of commiting domestic violence against Jenna Dorticos. Howie Klein of Down With Tyranny posted this document.



The restraining order was dropped a month later. No criminal charges were ever filed.

Rivera claims to never to have met Dorticos. Rivera was photographed with Dorticos' mother at a fundraiser held by actor Steven Bauer.



David Rivera claims it is a different David M. Rivera in legal documents.

"Nowadays you can put a name into a computer and accusations come out," Rivera told AmericaTeVe. According to Down With Tyranny, candidate David M. Rivera is the only David M. Rivera who comes up in record searches.

This is a serious charge. If Rivera is innocent then this has been a horrible misunderstanding. However, if Rivera did use violence against women then voters had a right a right to know.
