Wendy Davis Regrets Campaign Stance On Open Carry
CBS Local ^ | 12/30/14

AUSTIN (CBSDFW.COM/AP) — Wendy Davis has said she regrets expressing support for the open carry of handguns in her failed gubernatorial bid.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, Davis says the position “wasn’t really in keeping” with her actual view and “strayed” from her core beliefs.

She supported legislation last year to allow college students with concealed handgun licenses to keep weapons in their cars. The positions put her at odds with the Democratic party.

The statement comes with the Texas Legislature poised to consider open carry in the session that begins in January. It would allow people with concealed handgun licenses to wear a pistol on their hip while in public.

Yes, but her stated position may interfere with her ability to land a lucrative, cushy position at some lefty national organization.

Rather she should start by disavowing her public stance on abortion first.

In other words, she lied during her campaign.

SHe always has. That is why she was dead meat in her senate district. Her Gov run was more of a job interview than a serious run.

It wasn’t a stance. It was another liberal LIE told to win votes. She was ready to immediately “ evolve away from it if she won.

She’s a liar, a hypocrite, and an opportunist. That’s pretty much normal for liberals - they won’t hold it against her. Far left politics is all about grabbing power and then exploiting the office whenever they trick enough low information voters into supporting them. This just wasn’t Abortion Barbie’s year.

We in Texas regret that she wasn’t defeated by 40 points or more. Rhodent Island can have her back for good.

This is probably the “penance” she has to make in order to land where so many other disgraced and defeated leftists go .. the Center for American Progress.
