Texas Dems Slam Abbot for Campaigning with Pedophile [View all]

Democrats and women’s groups assailed GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott’s choice of Ted Nugent to appear with him at Tuesday events, citing the rocker’s abusive name-calling and early penchant for relationships with under-aged girls.Abbott’s campaign said the attorney general might not agree with some of Nugent’s language, but praised the so-called Motor City Madman as an avid defender of the U.S. Constitution. The campaign did not comment regarding Nugent’s inappropriate affairs from 30 years ago.As attorney general, Abbott has touted his office’s Internet Crimes Against Children division that works with law enforcement to identify predators who go on-line seeking young women. Calling it his cyber-crimes unit, Abbott frequently mentions its efforts to arrest those who would solicit minors.
