Hear the one about Wendy Davis going to hell? A Republican state representative got a big laugh Saturday from Abbott and a roomful of supporters with a joke at Davis’ expense. Abbott faces Davis, a Democratic state senator, in next month’s general election for governor. On Saturday, Abbott and GOP attorney general nominee Ken Paxton were campaigning at a Tex-Mex restaurant in Frisco.
Abbott was introduced by Frisco state Rep. Pat Fallon, who opened with a joke in which Wendy Davis visits a grade school and sees a boy reading a book about whales. Here’s the joke Fallon told:
The first grader asks Davis how many people could fit in the stomach of the whale. Davis says none, the whale’s throat is too small. But the boy asks about Jonah, wasn’t he swallowed by a whale?
When Davis repeats that nobody could be swallowed by a whale, the boy declares that when he gets to heaven, he’ll ask Jonah personally.
Fallon then quoted Davis, “Well, what if Jonah went to hell?” drawing groans from the supporters at the rally.
“Then the little boy said, ‘Well, Ms. Davis, you can ask him,’” Fallon quipped.
Abbott, who was next to Fallon, laughed and the supporters clapped and cheered.
Abbott campaign spokeswoman Amelia Chasse distanced the GOP nominee from the joke. “While clearly intended to be humorous, the comment was inappropriate and should not have been made,” she said.

Isn’t she the pro-abortion candidate?
“Hail Satan!”
Considering the butt of the joke, very appropriate and in good taste.
Sorry Wayne, your girl is going to lose big!
God Bless Texas!
I’ve heard Pastor Greg Laurie tell that joke several times. Good humor!!
The woman who laughed at a cripple, abandoned her kids, and shields abortionists from measures that would protect women who suffer botched abortions???
The editors at the Dallas paper got their panties in a wad.
Well she is going to hell, so I don’t see what the big deal is.
Amazing that people who aren’t Greg Abbott can be used to muddy his name but words from Davis herself or her campaign aren’t news worthy?
This is how you defeat the Left - with sarcasm, humor, and facts.
Phil Robertson did not apologize.
she isn’t going to hell. she’s going to msnbc.
Po-TAY-to, po-TAH-to.
Great joke, I’ve heard it before but this times the names have been changed to fit the times. :)
I think that after last week, she is the pro-dildo candidate...
But it’s OK for Nikki Haley’s opponent to call her a whore....
Too funny, most would laugh over that one.
