What if a told you there was a complete dirtbag running for City Council in San Clemente? At least that is what I think of Gene James and when I am done writing about him, everyone else will also. If you read our 4 part expose’ on Harvey Englander and the “racket” he ran on behalf of San Clemente, you’d better understand where I am coming from on this statement. Pretty much everything in San Clemente is suspect and Gene James appears to be a laboratory reject from the San Clemente NIMBY factory.
What If I told you that Gene James has been on a rampage since being a candidate for San Clemente City Council? He is allegedly physically confronting people, verbally abusing people, cyber stalking, etc. The alleged victims are mostly women that are much smaller than he is. We have received several tips over the last 6 weeks about how out of control Mr. James’ behavior has been.
What if I told you I have evidence that Fred Whitaker may have covered up some of James’ actions on behalf of Gene James’ consultant – in order to assist James in getting the OCGOP endorsement (by one vote, mind you). It is alleged that Gene James’ consultant Jim Bieber was calling and pressuring OCGOP Members, some of whom stayed home rather than having to deal with Bieber or Gene James?
It is a known fact that OCGOP Chairman Fred Whitaker and Jim Bieber go back years.
I have been told by SEVERAL people that the special election in San Clemente is one of the dirtiest campaigns they have ever seen and that Gene James has been on a rampage. It stands to reason that Gene James and Bill Brough would be good buddies and that State Senator Pat Bates would be in the middle of it.
The feckless Congressional Candidate Bryan (-20) Maryott who finished 7th in a contested primary in 2018 is also party of the Uncle Harvey party crew.
Tonight, there is a candidate forum in San Clemente and the rampaging Gene James has been attempting to bully all of his opponents in to silence.
It is also alleged that people who may or may not include Fred Whitaker, Bill Brough, Pat Bates and others have been telling donors there will be consequences to giving money to any of James’ opponents. Rest assured, your intrepid blogger will unwind the web and will name the names of the corrupt.
Your Intrepid Blogger is serving notice – Gene James – Welcome to RightonDaily. I’m coming for you. Right On Daily will defend women from bullies, even while so-called political leaders participate or turn a blind eye.
Hello there. I’ve read your informative article and, as a woman I’d like to know if you’ll please share the bully details with me regarding Gene James. I’ve been a GJ supporter, up till now, and am wondering if you can please elaborate on your article. I know I have influence with people in SC, but want to be able to back up my findings. Anything you share will be held in confidence unless you choose me to be chatty.

Diane – I am following up on several leads. What I can tell you with certainty is that I will have at least one follow up coming this week with specific info related to abusive behavior. There are a list of other items being vetted as well. Thank you for reading.
I think it is very irresponsible to make the “allegations” you have made without more details. Who, what, when, where? If these women have been bullied, have they filed police reports? There is only one woman I know of who filed a report against Gene James (Christina Selter, an opponent – gee, what a coincidence) and when the OCSD submitted the report to the DA’s office, they declined to file a criminal complaint on it, saying there was “no crime committed.”
Blogger’s Note: Stand By Counselor. Gene James is about to get his comeuppance for the way he treats women. I take note of you using the Bill Brough talking points as it relates to all of his victims too.
Not really sure what you mean about using Bill Brough’s talking points. Actually, I’m using the talking points set out in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. It’s called due process and the right to confront your accusers. If you were being accused of something, I would imagine you’d want names, dates, witnesses, details. It’s called evidence. It’s what we use in court. But apparently, you’re more comfortable lobbing shit from the gutter. Very classy.

Here’s Gene saying he won’t take the $ but yesterday he accepted $10,000 from the OCSD union.
