Wendy Davis gets a brutal history lesson after bragging 'we made history in these shoes'

Failed Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis took to Twitter this morning to celebrate the two-year anniversary of her now infamous filibuster of a controversial abortion bill as a member of the Texas legislature:
