Wendy Davis doubles down on controversial empty wheelchair ad that attacks her paralyzed foe in governor's race

Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis refused to apologize on Monday for a controversial ad her campaign released last week that targets her wheelchair-bound, Republican opponent Greg Abbott.

The Davis ad uses an empty wheelchair to criticize Abbott, the Lone Star state's partially paralyzed attorney general, for his handling of other victims' legal claims as a government official.

The spot has been widely cast as the most negative political ad of the election cycle, and Davis has been skewered by conservatives for preying on Abbott's disability.

David stood by the ad today at a news conference, telling reporters 'this ad is about one thing and one thing only: It is about Greg Abbott's hypocrisy.'

This is the new normal for Democrat candidates -- look at what Pollitt and Brown tried to do to Larry Hogan in Wicomico County last week.

Lends a whole new meaning to 'politically correct'.
