Caught on Video: Wendy Davis' Attack Team Openly Mocks Greg Abbott For Being in a Wheelchair

Project Veritas is out with a new undercover video showing staffers from Battleground Texas, an organization full of Obama for America alumni with a goal of turning Texas blue, openly mocking Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair. Abbott is running against Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis for the governorship. Battleground Texas supports Davis and is working very hard on her behalf in the Lone Star State. The video shows Davis visiting the Battleground Texas offices where she thanked staffers for their help and refers to the group as "the secret weapon" to winning.

"I really wonder how this is going to work out since he's in a wheelchair since and most of the slogans are 'Stand with Wendy," one staffer is seen saying in the video.

"First of all he's not good looking, he doesn't speak very well, he doesn't have a good personality and he's in a wheelchair," another woman is heard saying as someone laughs loudly in the background.

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Wendy Davis Supporters, BGTX Mock Greg Abbott's Disability

According to Project Veritas, the comments were caught while investigators were looking into Obamacare navigator fraud. This isn't the first time Battleground Texas has openly mocked Abbott's disability. In October 2013, the group sent out an email with the "joke," "Greg Abbott walks into a house in El Paso." Earlier this week, Davis came under criticism for saying Abbott hasn't "walked a day in her shoes."

Attorney General Abbott has been in a wheel chair since he was 26-years-old after a tree fell on him while running and paralyzed him from the waist down.

I’d turn that into a campaign TV ad. No additional commentary would be necessary.

A Democrat that feels any degree of shame gets him or her immediately booted, as they shall in their turn be mocked and vilified.

Conformity can be such a curse.

I may be wrong but I think she’s officially done. I’m probably wrong!

Finding a demonRAT with any ability to have any sense of shame, would be harder than finding a 35 year old virgin working at the Bunny Ranch in Vegas.

By definition, demonRATs are incapable of being shamed, because they are always right... by any means necessary.

DemonRATS and mooselimbs are allowed to lie, cheat and steal to further their cause... it's in their DNA.

If they hammer the lies constantly, she will not recover. They have to stay focused and keep at it and DO NOT let them try and change the subject.

Democrats are scum who would sell their own mother for a little more power. These are people for whom the words "right" and "wrong" have no meaning. They are liars for whom lying is simply one more ploy in their anti-human lust for control. Scratch a progressive and you'll find underneath a would-be murderer who would dance in the streets if conservatives were dragged off to a concentration camp and butchered.

But, who is "the father of lies"? Who "was a murderer from the beginning"? Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Marxists, Communists. It doesn't matter what they call themselves. They are the modern day Pharisees of whom Jesus said,

"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires." - John 8:44

It’s better to be physically handicapped than to be mentally handicapped.

Yet, anyone in the public-eye who says, “I saw Michael J. Fox shaking, like this...” (cue video of Rush shaking) “and I asked whether it was real or not.”

Liberals can mock and infer Abbott is faking the paraplegism...on the other hand?

Stand with Wendy...is their whole campaign that Abbot can’t be Governor because he’s in a wheelchair?

RATs have no shame because they have no soul. They are vile reprobates that lack even the slightest amount of human decency, integrity, moral code or any other redeeming qualities. They are destructive parasites on polite society that deserve our total contempt and loathing. They should be shunned and reviled with every encounter.

interesting thing is, they all are for population reduction b/c earth is too full of people already - but they never put their money where their mouths are and lead by example.
