Texas State Senator Wendy Davis under fire for misleading biography
Wendy Davis' filibuster against abortion regulations last summer propelled her into the national
spotlight.
She's now hoping to parlay her status as a liberal hero to become the first Democrat
governor of Texas in almost a quarter-century.
Her campaign captured the attention of both the public and the media with a great American
up-by-one’s-bootstraps narrative of a 19-year-old single trailer-home mother who through sheer
will made it all the way to Harvard Law School.
Word got out this week though, that Davis may have been telling tall tales and left
out key facts from her biography.
Like how she divorced her second husband only after he made her final student loan payment
at Harvard.
What else did Davis make up?
