VIDEO: Texas GOP County Chair Doubles Down, Calling Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie" At Forum

Last week Denton County GOP Chair Dianne Edmondson made crude personal attacks against Wendy Davis in the party's weekly newsletter calling her "Abortion Barbie" and referred to Sen. Van De Putte as her Hispanic running mate; this week she doubled-down at a forum with every candidate for Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General.

"Can y'all image if Abortion Barbie is our next Governor," Edmondson said to which you can hear audible replies of, "No" from the audience.

These idiots post on twitter using the hashtag #abortionbarbie. Most of their posts are really disgusting.

I know Greg and this is going to be a nasty race. Greg is a nasty person and his followers are really nasty

I know it's about being followers who are always looking for a "strong leader" - even a "jealous God" works for them - but it still amazes me how they'll cheer on the most sociopathic people!
