Who would have thought that the rising Democrat Texas star was anything but truthful? Here's the sugar-coated version: Wendy Davis admits to fuzzy facts in bio
According to the paper, Davis was not a divorced working mother living in a mobile home at age 19. Instead, she was 21, and lived in a trailer for a short time. Then after a stint living with her mother, Davis moved into her own apartment.

At 24, she married Jeff Davis, a lawyer who, according to the report, helped pay for her final two years of college and cashed out his 401(k) and took out loans to help finance her Harvard law degree.

The marriage eventually ended in divorce, with Jeff Davis getting custody of the couple’s youngest daughter and Wendy Davis paying monthly child support.
Here's a less varnished narrative: Wendy Davis is not Wendy Davis and gets away with it - Hartford Conservative | Examiner.com
Just like stellar Democratic figures before her, she has lied about her past stating that she was a teenage single mom rising up from poverty and putting herself through school. It turns out none of this is true, also she seems to have lost custody of her children because of adultery ...

LOL. You weren't a teen you were 21. You are a liar and evil.
Liar seems to have been confirmed. Evil is a bit more subjective.
Now the guy who thinks raping your wife is ok. He is our man on the right. That is Godly.
Besides the patent absurdity, this is also a false dichotomy ... we don't have an example of this for comparison. :wave:

The op is patently absurd.


Wendy Davis is a good public servant. She was indeed a teen mom. She had Amber her daughter at 18.

Ok, so, two responses and two attempts at deflection and justification.

I don't think the OP is justifiable. Wendy Davis was indeed a teen mom. She had her daughter Amber at 18. When her husband ran out on her shortly after she did indeed end up living in a trailer.

I think liars ARE evil, regardless of what they're lying about.

I haven't seen ANYONE say "he's our man". So...strawman!

Of course it is. The left devoted countless hours scrounging for each and every little inaccuracy concerning any aspect of Sarah Palin's life, and when they couldn't find anything worth while, they just made stuff up. They even hacked her e-mails illegally and then made a hero of the hacker.

Davis and her supporters have been out there promoting a story built on half-truths, obfuscations, and outright lies. So yes, of course she is fair game and it is only just to go after her.

Wendy Davis was indeed a teen mom. She had her daughter Amber at 18. When her husband ran out on her shortly after she did indeed end up living in a trailer.

According to HotAir:

The basic elements of the narrative are true...some facts have been blurred.

Davis was 21, not 19, when she was divorced. She lived only a few months in the family mobile home while separated from her husband before moving into an apartment with her daughter.

A single mother working two jobs, she met Jeff Davis, a lawyer 13 years older than her, married him and had a second daughter. He paid for her last two years at Texas Christian University and her time at Harvard Law School, and kept their two daughters while she was in Boston. When they divorced in 2005, he was granted parental custody, and the girls stayed with him. Wendy Davis was directed to pay child support.


Source: Wendy Davis autobiography underwent some … revisions « Hot Air

How often is a woman not granted custody in a divorce case? However there is also the potential she lied under oath concerning her first divorce. But, yeah, we all know exactly how the left feels about their icons lying under oath.

From the American Thinker:

"Over time, the Davises' marriage was strained. In November 2003, Wendy Davis moved out."

"Jeff Davis said that was right around the time the final payment on their Harvard Law School loan was due. "It was ironic," he said. "I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left."


Source: Blog: Wendy Davis, unmasked

As others have said, she marries a guy and stays with him just long enough for him to pay for her education, and the moment the last payment is made, she leaves. What a gal!

Of course she rose to the level of liberal icon due to her devout pro-abortion stance.

Wendy Davis’ Texas gubernatorial campaign stumbles over fudged facts

"Wendy Davis, the Texas lawmaker who rocked national headlines with her 11-hour floor speech against a bill to limit abortion, has now been caught making a couple of exaggerated claims in her campaign for governor."

"Ms. Davis rose to national prominence when she donned a back brace, urinary catheter and pink running shoes and then tried to filibuster a bill that clamped down on abortion in the state. She spoke for about 11 hours."

This is exactly why she will be rabidly defended by the left, not only in Texas but nationwide, because she is pro-abortion.

However Dana Loesch had a good take on Davis on Twitter:

!

Exactly. Wendy Davis had Amber at 18. She did live in a tailor when her husband ran out on her. To paint her as a liar is a lie. Take that up with OP and right wing spin doctors.

Please stop. She fudged some information; leave it at that. By arguing like this, you're making yourself look foolish; you're making conservatives look foolish; and you're pulling the rug out from under anyone who wants to point out NHE's hypocrisy in criticizing Davis' fudging, but dismissing Matt Bevin's similar (but worse) fudging.

I don't understand what you mean. Amber was born when Davis was 18. That is a fact. Davis also lived in a tailor when her husband left her.

So when Davis said she was at one time a struggling teen mom who ended up living in a trailer she was telling the truth.

If you want to make a big deal about something why pick this? She was't lying.

From naked DC dot com, as stated, her lie (well, one of them) was here:

"Wendy was actually 21, not 19, when she got a divorce from her first husband and had to move back into her parent’s trailer park home, where she lived only a few months before finding an apartment of her own for herself and her daughter. Now that might not seem like a big deal, but Wendy testified under oath, in a federal lawsuit regarding redistricting, that she was 19 when she got divorced. She’s lucky that wasn’t material to the case at hand, but she might want to think twice about volunteering incorrect information after she’s sworn to uphold the truth."

So she was off by a year. Oh my. Right wingers sure are desperate. Amber was born when Davis was 18. The end of 18. When she turned 20 a year later her husband left her, and she had no money. She struggled and moved around with a new baby. She ended up in a trailer.

So in her recollection of a very hard two to three years she was off by a year. That isn't a lie. The op characterizing this as some sort of scandal is a lie. You are furthering that lie. It isn't Christian.

Okay, so you're saying it's just a sweet little coincidence that she made it sound like she was a teen mom living in a trailer?

Plus, it's not just this that has my eyes rolling. How about her "I paid my way through school" comments? No, you didn't. You had a sugardaddy who paid your way and then you dropped him like a hot potato when the payments weren't due anymore. You basically pimped yourself out for your college degree...

Classy.
