Some of Wendy Davis’s best friends are people in wheelchairs. At least that appears to be the message the Texas gubernatorial hopeful is trying to send on social media. Apparently believing that her initial photo op with paraplegics was a corrective to her crude campaign against wheelchair-bound Republican opponent Greg Abbott, Davis has tripled and quadrupled down on that strategy.
Bryan Preston at PJ Media quips:
Surely Wendy Davis is not treating people as human props. That cannot be. Right? People would see right through that, if she did that.
Preston follows up with tweets of three photos of the candidate amid are about to be among people in wheelchairs:
