Political mudslinging is expected in hotly contested elections. But the Texas gubernatorial race involving Texas State Senator and Democratic candidate Wendy Davis and Republican opponent and Texas Attorney General Gregg Abbott has some people on both sides of the political aisle cringing and asking if the mudslinging has gone too far.
The ad in question is Davis’ 30-second spot that was released last Friday. It begins with a shot of an empty wheelchair and is followed by a male voiceover telling viewers: “A tree fell on Greg Abbott. He sued and got millions. Since then he’s spent his career working against other victims.” The ad ends with: “Gregg Abbott is not for you.”
