bostonangler Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Yeah keep your eye on this guy... Early Life and Education[edit] Navarro was born and raised in Inglewood, California.[11] He has spent an important portion of his life in Hawthorne and Torrance. Navarro's parents are Mexican[14][15] and Cuban immigrants, who came to the US for a better opportunity. Adapting to the American lifestyle and learning English, his parents opened small businesses.[16] His father worked in the aerospace industry and mother in real estate. His passion for politics comes from his grandparents. Navarro attended El Camino College in Torrance, studying business administration, but transferred to ITT Tech and achieved a degree in Criminal Justice. Later, he went to the University of Southern California and took courses in Information Security. Career[edit] Navarro is a small business owner and has worked for companies including Samsung and Sony.[11][17] Navarro is a former traffic commissioner for Torrance, CA.[18] He was accused of pepper-spraying a child while aiming for ralliers at a pro-sanctuary cities event in Cudahy, CA. At first, he denied spraying the crowd, but resigned after the Torrance City Council began the process of removing him from his position.[19] Navarro has also worked as an online marketeer.[20] Elections[edit] 2016 Navarro was defeated by Waters with 76.1 percent of the vote. The district includes parts of L.A., Torrance, Carson, Gardena, Hawthorne, Inglewood, Lawndale and Lomita.[21][22][23][24] 2018 Navarro challenged Maxine Waters[25] again and was defeated with 77.7 percent of the vote, followed by Navarro with 22.3 percent.[26][27][28][29][30] Navarro raised more than $450,000 in the third quarter[15][31] and spent $11,845 on rental fees and meals at the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes as well as multiple stays at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.[32][33] Endorsements[edit] Navarro touted endorsements from Michael Flynn,[34][35] Joe Arpaio,[36][37] Herman Cain, and Alex Jones[18] among others.[38][39] He met Flynn in person in February 2018, while in Washington DC to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference.[40] Controversies[edit] Electronic tracking device Navarro was convicted for attaching an electronic tracking device to his wife's car on February 14, 2016.[41][42][43] He pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge in Orange County and was sentenced to a day in jail and 18 months’ probation in September 2016. He was also ordered to take an anger management course.[9] He was on probation until March 2018[44] but violated his probation and it was revoked on April 12, 2017.[41] Navarro was found guilty only two weeks before the 2016 election.[19] Before Navarro admitted to his own doing, he blamed the Orange County District Attorney's Office and the media for spreading fake news.[45] Forged Letter Navarro released a fraudulent letter on his Twitter account that indicated Maxine Waters wanted to resettle tens of thousands of refugees into her LA district. The letter appeared to be on Waters’ House office stationery and looked as if written by her, bearing her signatures, alleging that she was in communication with CAIR-LA (a Los-Angeles-based chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations) and Hussam Ayloush (the executive director of CAIR-LA) to relocate Somali refugees in Los Angeles. The letter contained several inaccuracies like referencing multiple committees and subcommittees that Waters does not serve on, and listing an address for a district office that has been closed for nearly a decade.[46][47][48] Navarro was interrogated by the FBI and Capitol Police for the matter. He told The Los Angeles Times that he did not fabricate the letter and claimed that he received it from a person whose name he will not reveal and with whom he has not been in touch since the time he received the letter.[49][50][51] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
