Wendy Davis’ Ex Asked a Court to Order Her Not to Use Drugs Before Seeing Her Kids
News has broken that Wendy Davis lied about her background. She is now playing victim blaming Greg Abbott.
It is her ex-husband who talked to a left-of-center Dallas reporter.
It is also her ex-husband who asked a Texas District Court to issue a
temporary restraining order against Wendy Davis in 2003.
In that order, the judge ordered that Wendy Davis “be immediately
restrained from . . . using illegal drugs or consuming alcohol within 24
hours before or during the period of possession of or access to the
child.”
Speaking of the child, at the time her daughter requested her father serve as her managing conservator.
It appears that Wendy Davis did not just leave out key details. Nor
does it appear that Davis is just being held to a different standard
than a man. It appears there is much more to Wendy Davis than meets the
eye.
Red State
Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator whose filibuster for abortion
rights made her a Democratic superstar and launched her campaign for
governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that
she lied about key events in her life, including her first divorce.
Davis may even have lied under oath, testifying in a federal lawsuit
over redistricting that "I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old,"
when in fact she was divorced at age 21.
Other missing details have included: her second husband paid her way
through law school and she divorced him the day after the last payment
was made; her ex-husband accused her in initial court filings of
adultery, and was awarded custody of their two daughters; and she first
ran for city council in Fort Worth as a Republican.
"My language should be tighter,” she said, admitting her campaign biography has been less than truthful.
It is not clear whether the article in the Dallas Morning News, by senior political writer Wayne Slater, is meant to be an exposé or a defense, presenting embarrassing details in the best light possible
to present an overall picture of competence. One unidentified source,
who said that Davis is "going to figure out a way to spin herself in a
way that grabs at the heart strings," is also quoted as saying that
"she’d be a good governor."
Regardless, the fact that Davis "blurred" her biography raises
questions about her integrity. Her ex-husbandsaid she should not have
needed to lie--that her real life is "a better narrative than what
they’re trying to paint.”
The media tend to protect Democrats--notably, Barack Obama, Davis's
contemporary at Harvard Law School--when they present false "composites"
of their lives. It remains to be seen whether they treat Davis the
same.
