Did Wendy Davis use a phony paraplegic at her press conference?

Sure as hell seems like he's about to stand up just before the campaign staff rushes in to move his chair.

Why isn't he in a wheel chair? But I doubt they would be so stupid as to use someone who wasn't trully disabled. Looks like he was just positioning himself for the awkward slide off the stage.

I don't believe that a true paraplegic would be in a regular chair. Probably has a different disability like MS.

That dude looks like he was standing up.

BTW, that chair he is in is not a standard folding chair. That is the Slide Star Mobility Enhancer. It's standard issue instead of wheelchairs under Obamacare.

His legs arms and chest are moving before they drag him away. What a shamefully staged event. I've never understood why people of any stripe (or political affiliation) allow themselves to be used in staged presser events like this

Regardless, there is a lot of instability in that press conference. Davis is an amateur with a huge chip on her shoulder.

Not that she had a prayer anyway.

No. He has cerebral palsy.

I find it more humiliating that they drug him across the stage like that. Why no wheel chair?

I think the kid in the chair is a Louisiana boy. His Twitter feed prior to this is almost exclusively about Louisiana politics and the Saints.

Yeah

Lamar White Jr., a law student at Southern Methodist University who suffers from cerebral palsy, spoke in support of Davis at the press conference while seated. Following his speech, he requested staffers slide his chair over with him in it so the next speaker could reach the microphone, explaining he was afraid he would fall over.

This is exactly the type of thing Wendy Davis would do. She's a despicable human being who has lied about everything.

A stunt like this would be right in that bitch's wheelhouse.
