Hey, remember when Democrats nationalized Todd Akin? Let's demand that Democrats in other races & the DNC condemn Davis over this ad.

The GOP is still stinging from Todd Akin’s “legitimate rape” comments back in 2012, which might as well have come straight from Mitt Romney’s mouth as far as the Left was concerned. So, are Democrats willing to stand by Wendy Davis and her desperate and tasteless “wheelchair” ad? Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey wants them to go on record.
Put them on the record. Do they support exploiting a candidate's physical handicap for campaign ads?

Every media outlet that demanded that GOP candidates answer for Akin had better do the same with Democrats and Davis.
