Wendy Davis, pro-abortion Democrat and media darling, is trailing by a wide margin in her Texas gubernatorial race against Republican Greg Abbott. In desperation, her camp released the already infamous 30-second “wheelchair ad,” targeting her Republican opponent Greg Abbott, wheelchair-bound since 1984 after a tree fell on him while he was out jogging. The ad opens with a black-and-white picture of a wheelchair, mentions the accident and says of Abbott, Texas attorney general: “He sued and got millions” before accusing him of hypocrisy.
It left even MSNBC’s liberal panelists shaking their heads. The Washington Post also attacked the ad from various angles.
But not the New York Times. In the paper’s first print story on the matter Tuesday, reporter David Montgomery suggested that “By referring to his disability in his political campaign, some analysts say, Mr. Abbott effectively opened the door for Ms. Davis’s depiction of the wheelchair in her ad.”
