Controversial political commentator Ann Coulter appeared on Sean Hannitys self-titled Fox News channel talk show Monday night to sound off on Texas Senator Wendy Davis.
Coulter, who appears frequently on Fox News, jumped at the chance to weigh in on the maelstrom that has surrounded Davis since The Dallas Morning News broke a story suggesting that key facts in Davis presentation of her life story may not be entirely accurate. Coulter told Hannity: This is all I want to talk about all year.
According to Wayne Slater, Davis has made her personal rags to riches story a centerpiece of her campaign to become governor of Texas. Davis political team is talking up the story of how she overcame great hardship to go from a divorced teenage single mother living in a trailer to Harvard graduate and key player in Texas politics.
Slater reveals that Davis was 21 not 19 when she divorced.
It turns out that she actually lived only a few months in her familys trailer before she and her daughter got their own apartment.
And as far as working her way through college? Well, Davis married attorney Jeff Davis, 13 years her senior, during her undergraduate years at Texas Christian University and had another daughter with him. Her husband funded her last two years at TCU and her time at Harvard Law School. He also kept the children with him in Texas while Davis was attending school in Boston.
Coulter didnt hesitate to jump into the fray:
The connotation is that you were supporting a family and raising your kids. She was neither supporting her family nor raising her kids. She married a sugar daddy whom she asked to meet. He supported her, he raised the kids while she went to Harvard law school. I mean, it said that Dallas Morning News article, its the greatest quote Ive ever seen. He says, I quote, Its ironic the day after I paid the last
Hannity finished her statement: I made the last payment and it was the next day she left.
Jeff Davis has defended his ex-wife, however: A lot of what she says is true, he said. When she was 21, it became a little easier for her. The first 21 years were about working one, two and three jobs, trying to get through, raising a kid, driving an old Toyota pickup truck that was the smallest you could find.
