Texans are all too familiar with her story. State Senator Wendy Davis overcame hardship as a divorced teenage mother living in a trailer before eventually getting accepted into Harvard Law school and scoring political victories - at least, according to her campaign team. She and her staff have used this narrative to fundraise in the Texas governor’s race and media outlets like the Today show have gushed over her success story. Now, it turns out Davis has not been so “successful” in telling the whole truth about her past.
The Dallas Morning News is clarifying some of the state senator’s blurry details:
Davis was 21, not 19, when she was divorced. She lived only a few months in the family mobile home while separated from her husband before moving into an apartment with her daughter.
A single mother working two jobs, she met Jeff Davis, a lawyer 13 years older than her, married him and had a second daughter. He paid for her last two years at Texas Christian University and her time at Harvard Law School, and kept their two daughters while she was in Boston. When they divorced in 2005, he was granted parental custody, and the girls stayed with him. Wendy Davis was directed to pay child support.
But don’t worry, Davis has a good excuse for coloring her past:
"My language should be tighter," she said. "I’m learning about using broader, looser language. I need to be more focused on the detail."
New York Magazine calls Davis’s fabrication her campaign’s “first bump in the road.” First? Clearly, these editors haven’t been following Lone Star State politics. The Democratic senator’s exposed inaccuracy is just the latest in her “not ready for prime time” gubernatorial campaign. First it was absence on the campaign trail, then her inability to answer questions and recently her team’s “fuzzy math.” Not to mention, she has been avoiding the one issue for which she became famous, since it won’t get her many votes in the deeply conservative state.
Regardless of how fuzzy the details are in her background, if Davis wants to be governor of Texas, her story may not have a happy ending.
Another fun tidbit: #MoreFakeThanWendyDavis is trending on Twitter right now.
Poor Windy. She wasn’t a struggling single mom after all, but is now a Democrat whore.
Looks like Wendy Davis also aborts the truth...
Exactly
She’s a liberal. What else do you expect?
Lol jay Leno couldn’t write better stuff..this woman is too nutty for Bellevue..but of course she loves murdering babies so that’s a good thing on a Dem resume
I guess that sounds better than saying she should stop lying whenever she thinks she can get away with it.
So Windy is not her name, but an appellation depicting a physical trait? Like a native American name?
‘Windy’ IS a lot easier to say than ‘Woman perpetually shooting her mouth off without a hint of truth or reason’.
Abortion Barbie is as fake as her Botoxed forehead. Her God-hating followers won’t care though, they’re used to voting for liars.
So, she was a gold-digging tart (at best) who dumped her Sugar Daddy as soon as she had her degree.
I hope she was a good time in the sack, and that the old guy is still grinning.
True can’t expect the truth from a lib
What sums her up (outside being a moron) is what kind of mother voluntarily leaves her children and husband behind in Texas to attend Harvard (or any out of state school for 3 years)? There are several fine law schools in Texas and I rate them higher than any ivy league goober factory.
She love you long time...
Nah, she just needs to lie better. And to those people on the left, they don’t care.
Will women vote for a woman who abandoned her children and paid child support to the father?
We only need look to the example of Senator Elizabeth Warren, (Marxist-Massachusetts), who invented the faux history of herself as an American Indian. This is a common behavior pattern with many of the really poorly wrapped liberals that try to make themselves seem to be “mainstream”.
Wendy Davis is plying this “poor little me” angle a little too hard, as she certainly got more than her share of “affirmations”, as clearly, she is at a level far above her competence, the “Peter Principle” (this is a real thing, and has nothing to do with finding the right guy to sleep with, though that probably happened too) as applied to elective office.
And even at that, she is WAY below the league that Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, has managed to self-promote to.
“Need to focus more on details”
Oh.. got it. We’re expected to give her a Sandy Burglar pass.. “Oh, that’s just Wendy.. she’s just sloppy! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!!l
Sloppy.
Like her marriage to the Sugar Daddy.
She is another elizabeth warren.
In the majority of custody cases, fathers have overwhelming odds against them unless they can prove the mother is unfit (a druggie, a drunk, whores around, indifferent, etc.) I hope opposition research gets the details about why she was an unfit mother before the general election.
Hmmm. Maybe this explains why Abortion Barbie is pro-abortion.
“Will women vote for a woman who abandoned her children and paid child support to the father?”
Well... not ALL women.. Just that 60% grouping that’ll give a sister a pass so long as she’s “pro-choice.”
