TEXAS: WENDY DAVIS SUPPORTERS CAUGHT RIDICULING DISABILITY OF GREG ABBOTT

Greg Abbott, Republican candidate
for Governor of Texas

Supporters of Democratic candidate for Texas Governor, Wendy Davis were caught on hidden tape ridiculing the Republican candidate's disability. Greg Abbott uses a wheelchair. To be fair, I must acknowledge that once the tape  hit the Internet, Wendy Davis was quick to denounce her supporters. What else could she do?!

This incident caught my attention for obvious reasons. Anti-disability prejudice must not be tolerated from whatever side of the political spectrum from which it may come. The offensive video is below. Beneath it is an interview of Greg Abbott by television journalist Megyn Kelly.

Christians in Texas have an opportunity to publicly denounce this revelation of Wendy Davis' supporters and to identify with Texans with disabilities. Promote full inclusion of people with disabilities and the removal of barriers -- whether physical or prejudice -- that may prevent them from meeting their full potential and place in society.    

Greg Abbott responds. See below.
