State Sen. Wendy Davis said Saturday that Attorney General Greg Abbott’s affiliation with Ted Nugent – an “admitted child sexual predator” — reveals Abbott’s lack of “Texas values.”

“His values are not my values and I know his values aren’t yours. And, given the cozy relationship he has with an admitted sexual predator, his values are not Texas values,” Davis said of Abbott, her presumptive rival for governor.

Davis was speaking before an enthusiastic crowd of about 200 women at the convention of Texas Democratic Women at Austin’s Wyndham Garden Hotel.

“We won’t let politicians hide behind the venom and the ugly history of predatory acts targeting underage girls by their campaign surrogates,” said Davis. “Let me make this very clear. This isn’t about some aging rock star way past his prime who simply needs to go away. This is about Greg Abbott. It’s about his character, his judgment, his values when he stands on a stage next to someone like that and refers to him as his blood brother.”
