The wife of a Democratic Party lawmaker in California has testified that she fears he will beat her if he loses a close race for Congress. The Los Angeles Times buried his party affiliation, however, leaving it out of the headline and lede paragraph.
Rubio is seeking a domestic violence restraining order against Hernández, a Democrat from West Covina. The assemblyman was dogged by allegations that he repeatedly beat his estranged wife as he ran for Congress.
Testifying Thursday, Rubio said she was afraid of what might happen to her in the future if Hernández is eliminated in the primary.
Im afraid he is going to blame it on me and try to retaliate, she said while testifying.
Hernández has denied the allegations. The court ordered him to stay away from his wife earlier this year.
Hernández is running for Congress in the 32nd district, and challenged incumbent Democrat Grace Napolitano in the June 7 primary. He is currently in third place by 1,000 votes, though California still has to count over 1.4 million votes statewide.
Under Californias top-two jungle primary system, candidates from all parties compete in a common primary election, and the top two finishers automatically advance to the general election in November, even if they are from the same party.

It’s CA; why would he think he will lose?
Hispanic mulsim?
Wife beating is o.k. in Islam.
I complained to a Chinese eBay seller about an incorrect item they’d shipped and his response was that the employee who made the error would be beaten. I think he meand “reprimanded”, but in this case, I think the guy meant what he said.
As long as he uses a “stick no thicker than his thumb” it’s OK.
He’s a guaranteed loser if word of this gets out. How shameful is that? Going home to kick your wife around, as though that was her purpose. She definitely needs a restraining order against him and quickie divorce if this is true. If she suddenly and forcefully ‘walks it all back’ Stockholm Syndrome style, there is not much hope she will get out of this situation.
She needs a gun. Restraining orders are worthless pieces of paper.
WTH kind of crap is this? WHY hasn’t his a$$ been arrested for domestic violence?
That’s not funny but for some reason I’m laughing.
Yeah—All he has to do is identify as a Muslim and he’ll be off the hook for anything he does.
Sounds like the marriage has... uh... issues.
"..ja..ja..jungle primary,so I could have run, my cousin was right"
Grayson?
Forget it Jake. It's CaliforniaTown.
I think she just got him elected! ROFL
Wife-beating is an enhancement for the dims!
How Islamic of him? Those people not going over to sexual deviancy in this country are going over to Islam.
Save the woman! Elect a democrat!
A pic of the couple in happier times would be interesting.
It sounds real (who would make that up), but maybe she is making it up to harm the guy. Although, it would be in her best interest to see he stays employed.
If you don’t buy this magazine, we’ll kill this dog.
Or maybe a self fulfilling prophecy.
