Wendy Davis slams Greg Abbott on MSNBC ignoring wheelchair ad attacks

Sen. Wendy Davis refuses to let the false righteous indignation of the traditional mainstream media about her searing Greg Abbott wheelchair ad deter her from telling the truth about his hypocrisy. Sen. Davis drives the narrative unapologetically. She does not allow the sudden conscience of pundits and talking heads to cause a change in direction of her messaging.

It is ironic how women candidates are judged differently than men. Chuck Todd calls Alison Lundergan Grimes' refusal to voice who she voted for a disqualifying action. Where was the comparative statement for Mitch McConnell claiming Kentucky would keep Kynect even though he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)?

The Houston Chronicle criticized the Wendy Davis ad with a throated attack.

With Wendy Davis trailing so close to Election Day, it should be no surprise that her campaign tried for a low blow. The now infamous 30-second spot, titled "Justice," was supposed to point out the hypocrisy of Attorney General Greg Abbott fighting against victims in courts after he himself collected a multi-million dollar tort settlement. The ad missed the mark, coming off more like a glib attack on Abbott for using a wheelchair.

There are serious questions about Abbott's role as attorney general, particularly when fighting Texas' compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is a nuanced subject, and this hamfisted tactic only distracts from the point.

Where was the Houston Chronicle when the barrage of lies and misogynistic attacks on Wendy Davis occurred? Remember abortion Barbie? Remember the FBI investigation that really wasn't?

Wendy Davis's ad is factual. Using the wheelchair for effect was the right thing to do giving Greg Abbott's legal treatment of the disabled. He is a big boy that has hurt many disabled Texans with the policies he supports.

Wendy Davis used the above MSNBC segment that attempted to malign her ad as a free platform. She enumerated Greg Abbott’s hypocrisy as well as his contempt for Texans. She illustrated his disregard for their needs in favor of the wants of the few well-connected. Good job, Wendy.
