Move over, Uncle Joe Biden. There’s a new gaffe master in town.
In a Twitter meltdown full of victimhood and lies, Texas gubernatorial candidate and fantasy bio author Wendy Davis suggested that her opponent, Greg Abbott, doesn’t understand struggle like she does. Abbott has used a wheelchair since he was paralyzed at age 26.
Lyin’ Wendy also issued a statement that kicked off with a mention of “Greg Abbott’s campaign attacks” and ended with this gem:
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.
“Walked a day in my shoes.” As David Freddoso tweeted, “If you’re running against someone who’s paralyzed, there’s just ONE THING you need to avoid saying.”
Tastes like … pink sneaker.
@politicalmath I wonder how those cute pink sneakers taste? @WendyDavisTexas just doesn't know when to quit playing the victim…

@WendyDavisTexas You really put your pink sneaker in your mouth on this one telling a paralyzed man he doesn't know struggle. Wow.

I think @WendyDavisTexas is going to have a hard time walking in her shoes now that her foot is planted firmly in her mouth. #tcot
