By Donna Provencher -September 24, 2020 4:25 PM
MJ Hegar's tattoos conceal the scars from shrapnel wounds sustained during her service in Afghanistan as an Air Force helicopter pilot.
A super PAC supporting Sen. John Cornyn in his campaign for reelection in Texas used a photograph of his Democratic opponent, MJ Hegar, on a website to portray her tattooed appearance as "radical," she said in a tweet on Thursday.
Hegar took to social media to remind Texans that misogyny is alive and well in the Lone Star State.
"A pro-Cornyn Super PAC is using a photo of my tattoos to make me seem 'radical,'" she said. "That's pretty funny to me."
Hegar added that the ad's implications were troubling due to the meaning behind her tattoos.

(82,849 posts)2. Remember the kerfuffle that ensued over Dan Crenshaw's eye patch?
I wonder why it's okay for this political action committee to ridicule a veteran, and why isn't Sen. Cornyn being asked to denounce his PAC?

from Pete Davidson while Crenshaw sat next to him. Thing is when you FORCE an apology from someone it is NEVER sincere.
Pete still thinks Dan is a hit man in a porno movie, I just think Dan Crenshaw is a cringeworthy pos.
I made a joke about Lieutenant Commander Dan Crenshaw, and on behalf of the show and myself, I apologize, said Davidson. He later added: I mean this from the bottom of my heart. It was a poor choice of words. The man is a war hero, and he deserves all the respect in the world.
I didnt think I did anything wrong, the 26-year-old said onstage at the Gramercy Theatre in New York. It was like words that were twisted so that a guy could be famous.
