Gaffetastic: Wendy Davis invites opponent to walk a day in her shoes

It’s pretty easy to figure out what that one thing is that you don’t say — unless you’re Wendy Davis, that is.

Did Wendy Davis really say that Abbott hadn't "walked a day in her shoes"? WOW.

In response to the Dallas Morning News profile which exposed those “blurred lines” around her biography, Davis issued a statement, which concludes, “I am proud of where I came from and I am proud of what I’ve been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn’t walked a day in my shoes.”

@WendyDavisTexas Does "tightening your language" include asking a paraplegic to walk a mile in your shoes?

@HoldenDCat Pretty sure a response to a paraplegic using the phrase "walk a mile in my shoes" is not poll-tested @jimgeraghty
