Abbott Stikes Back With Devastating Ad: Wendy Davis is Unfit to Be Governor

Democrat and liberal hero Wendy Davis is facing enormous backlash after an ad featuring an empty wheelchair was released last week by her campaign in an effort to attack her disabled opponent Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. This week, she's doubling down on the ad and even gathered people in wheelchairs to use as human props during a campaign event Monday. 

Now, Abbott is hitting back with a devastating television ad of his own which features a slew of liberal media clips condemning the ad and Davis' campaign as a whole. At the end of the ad, the statement is made that Davis is a "unfit" to be governor.

"Despite receiving near-universal condemnation from all sides of the political and media spectrum, Sen. Davis continues to defend her desperate and despicable ad. Sen. Davis’ decision to double down on her severe error in judgment is shameful and shows that she is unfit to be their governor," the caption of the ad states.

Sen. Davis' Campaign "Lost Cause" After Disgusting Ad

Exit question: Abbott is up by eight points. Who are the people still willing to vote for this woman?

Although the ad did make the case that she's done as a candidate, it did not specifically address her ability to govern.

The last line, though, was a killer.

Wow. Fantastic.

How long till she starts bleating about “negative ads.”

Don’t think she won’t.

These kind of hard-hitting ads are what all Pubs should be doing. If Romney had run these kind of ads, he might have won.

Who are the people still willing to vote for this woman? Abortion fanatics. The same people who cheered Satan at the statehouse last year.

8 points is not much of a lead, but Abbott hasn’t done much visible campaigning either.

Has anyone interviewed her ex? I’d love to hear what he has to say about her. Anyone ever interview her classmates from Harvard?

I wonder how many other guys she was screwing at Harvard while he was paying the bills?
