‘Pitiful’: Wendy Davis’ race-baiting about Greg Abbott is an epic fail
"We said the wheelchair guy hates the disabled. Now what?"
"His wife's Hispanic. Say he hates interracial marriage."

@WendyDavisTexas Good Lord. Your flailing desperation is hideous.

The Wendy Davis campaign sank to a new low with the recent wheelchair ad, and so did her poll numbers.
Can Team Davis sink even lower? They’re trying:
Greg Abbott won't say whether he'd defend an interracial marriage ban—troubling but not surprising from someone who defends a "poll tax."

First of all, there is of course the straw man nature of Davis’ scare tactic:
@KendraRockett @WendyDavisTexas don't you know that is a made up issue. No governor could support a law like that.

It's not. It's a lie. RT @Stephhxo12 @WendyDavisTexas an interracial marriage ban!?? What?? Are we in the 1940s? How is this even a concept?
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 20, 2014
And if that wasn’t enough to disintegrate whatever point Davis was trying to make, there’s this little detail:
Let's see. This is his wife, who is of Mexican descent. http://t.co/ZNO2faArLU Maybe it was a dumb question? @WendyDavisTexas

@WendyDavisTexas So what you are saying is Greg Abbott hates minorities! You need to tell his poor wife!

@WendyDavisTexas how stupid do you have to be woman? THE MAN IS IN AN INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE! #WendyisaMoron #SoDesperate

@WendyDavisTexas maybe you can interview Governor Abbott on your new MSNBC show, or perhaps ask his Latina wife.

@KendraRockett @mblairwinters Abbott is in an interracial marriage, so… pretty stupid tweet by Davis, right there.
— Film Ladd (@FilmLadd) October 20, 2014
@WendyDavisTexas his wife is hispanic you desperate pitiful battleaxe
— Steven Shaw (@czechov) October 20, 2014
@WendyDavisTexas Greg Abbott is IN an interracial marriage. Or is Wendy Davis too stupid to realize this fact?

Ooooh .. Sorry, thanks for playing! https://t.co/bNJI2stLim https://t.co/y0YGzymF4N @WendyDavisTexas

The theme is familiar:
@seanmdav @Heminator "Greg Abbott married a Mexican. Now he doesn't want to let anyone else marry Mexicans…"
— Jeryl Bier (@JerylBier) October 20, 2014
Maybe Davis is trying to say “a vote for Greg Abbott is a vote for him leaving his wife” or something.
If @WendyDavisTexas was a YouTube commenter, other YouTube commenters would say "you're kinda crazy". https://t.co/ZOrUX8EVCq

@WendyDavisTexas Enjoy your last gasp of relevance before slipping into obscurity.

Apologize to America, @WendyDavisTexas, and withdraw from the campaign. You are a blight.

@seanmdav This has all been an audition by Wendy Davis for an MSNBC slot. No other explanation.
— Grant Dunwoody (@tremlo3) October 20, 2014
@seanmdav @Heminator The Davis camp doesn't seem content to just lose. They appear to want go down in flames
— Clint Brooks (@clintbrooks) October 20, 2014
At Davis HQ, this might switch on some lightbulbs over a few heads:
@seanmdav What's next for #WendyDavis? Claiming her opponent puts kittens in a pillowcase and pummels baby rabbits with it.
— HeisenbergHattie (@HBergHattie) October 20, 2014
Wait for it…
Update:
Davis continues to dig:
In his @mySA ed board interview, @GregAbbott_TX refused to say whether he'd defend an interracial marriage ban. pic.twitter.com/kdIX3HkAw5
