The Lies Are Finally Exposed
Remember when we told you Senator Edgar Flores and his campaign were lying about his DUI arrest? Well, we were right. Blood test results released Tuesday by Las Vegas Metro Police prove Flores was legally drunk when officers found him unconscious behind the wheel on September 12th.
His blood alcohol content was 0.082 – above Nevada’s 0.08 legal limit. This destroys every claim made by Flores and his campaign team. They lied to police. They lied to the public. And they got caught.
Lie Number One: “Just One Beer”
What Flores told police: He claimed he had consumed only “one beer” around midnight before being found unconscious at the traffic light.
The truth: With a BAC of 0.082, Flores had consumed significantly more alcohol than “one beer” would produce. This was his first lie to law enforcement.
Lie Number Two: “Just Tired”
What his campaign posted on Twitter: “Senator Edgar Flores was stopped early Friday morning after a long day of work, community events, evening exercise, and a late dinner… The Senator acknowledges he was tired.”
The truth: He wasn’t tired. He was drunk. Being over the legal limit isn’t fatigue – it’s impairment from alcohol consumption.
Lie Number Three: The Breathalyzer Deception
What his campaign posted on Twitter: “The breathalyzer confirmed a 0.00 BAC, and we are confident the blood test will confirm the same.”
The truth: This was the most deceptive lie of all. Flores refused the preliminary breath test at the scene. The 0.00 reading his campaign referenced came from a test taken nearly 12 hours later at the detention center – of course it was clean by then. His campaign used this delayed test to mislead the public about his actual impairment during the arrest.
Lie Number Four: Questioning Police Conduct
What his campaign posted on Twitter: “While he and his team respect the officers’ diligence in ensuring public safety, our campaign is also reviewing whether his rights and privacy were properly respected.”
The truth: The police did their job perfectly. They found someone unconscious behind the wheel, followed proper procedures, and conducted a thorough investigation. The only improper conduct was Flores driving while legally drunk.
The Blood Test Results Are Actually Worse Than They Look
Here’s something that makes this even more damaging: the blood test showing 0.082 BAC wasn’t taken at the scene. According to the original arrest report, blood was drawn hours after Flores left the scene.
This means his blood alcohol level was likely much higher when he was actually driving. The human body metabolizes alcohol at roughly 0.015 BAC per hour. If several hours passed between the arrest and the blood draw, Flores could have been significantly more intoxicated while behind the wheel.
So when his campaign confidently stated “we are confident the blood test will confirm the same” as the 0.00 breathalyzer, they weren’t just lying – they were lying about test results that actually showed he was even more impaired than the legal limit suggests.
Even after the blood test results proved every one of their claims false, Flores issued another statement Tuesday
saying his legal team:
“Remain confident that his name will be fully cleared.”
This is remarkable. The man was found unconscious at a traffic light with a BAC over the legal limit, and he’s still claiming innocence. At what point does personal responsibility kick in?
Why Our Earlier Story Was Right
In our previous coverage, we questioned why Flores’ campaign was making legal-sounding claims instead of letting a defense attorney handle his case. We pointed out the accountability gap this creates – campaign staff can lie without facin
g professional consequences like lawyers would.
We were skeptical of their breathalyzer claims and their attempts to turn this into an attack on police conduct. We called it exactly what it was: politicians playing the victim card and using campaign resources for personal defense.
The blood test results prove we were right to be suspicious. Every red flag we identified turned out to be accurate.
The Pattern of Deception
Let’s be clear about what happened here:
- Flores broke the law by driving while legally drunk
- He lied to police about his alcohol consumption
- His campaign lied to the public about the circumstances
- They used misleading breathalyzer information to deceive voters
- They attacked police credibility to deflect from his criminal behavior
- Even after being caught, they continue lying about his innocence
This isn’t a mistake. This is a deliberate pattern of deception designed to avoid accountability for criminal behavior.
The Bottom Line
Edgar Flores was caught driving drunk. He lied to police. His campaign lied to the public. They got caught. And they’re still lying.
This isn’t complicated. Flores endangered lives, broke the law, then launched a misinformation campaign to avoid consequences. Conservative voters who believe in law and order, personal responsibility, and honest government should be outraged.
The only question left is whether Nevada voters will accept this behavior from their elected representatives. They shouldn’t.
