Brookshire seems confused.

“I have no idea what Mr. Cramp is shouting about. I have continuously stated my opposition to abortion. I plan on pushing for a total ban on abortions done for non-medical reasons. It has been a plank of my campaign since day one and I have laid out exactly what I said should be done.”


She gestured to Cramp.

“Mr. Cramp says I don’t want to keep them rare. He’s right. I want to end abortions completely. And we can do that by ending funding to Planned Parenthood and improving the adoption and foster care system as I already stated. I don’t know what Mr. Cramp is going on about but given his past of attacking my personal life and of those around me with rumors and lies, I am not at all surprised he has resorted to outright lies.”

"Here we go. Karen flip-flops on abortion. Only a minute ago she wanted abortions for only non-medical reasons, meaning any child can be aborted. While some may call that a gaffe, or a slip of the tongue, it is actually a Freudian slip. This debate is a burden on Ms Brookshire because she hates having to stand up for things that she doesn't believe in, and I know she doesn't believe in protecting the lives of unborn children, I know she doesn't believe in the traditional conception of marriage! There is a reason why her campaign is bare-bones on policy because there is a large void and silence on the important values we as Texans hold. When you are going to vote for a candidate who will defend the lives of the unborn, don't go with the candidate who flip flops around on stage like a beached fish. Go with the candidate who has a record representing Judeo-Christian values as a Justice of the Peace, who received the endorsement of Governor Norm Lee and who continues to fight here on stage and on the campaign trail for the preservation of life."

Brookshire: “My stance on abortion has been clear since day one. My stance has always been being pro-life and supporting a ban on abortions done for non-medical reasons. Ask the Texans I spoke to and support me, ask the pro-life groups that support me. My record and history stand for themselves on this issue.”

“It is clear you are grasping for straws Mr. Cramp. My policies have been laid out for dozens of issues and never have I changed my position on anything. And as I said before, my record, my history, and the coalition of Texans supporting me stand for themselves when it comes to the Brookshire campaign fighting for Texan values, fighting for Texans, fighting for America!”

No, I didn't. I stated that I didn't know, because I hadn't looked into the issue well enough at the time. I've since listened to good Republican women, wives and mothers, and to good Christian pastors, and their guidance has helped me better understand the miracle of conception. I am a full-throated supporter of state and federal legislation to protect the unborn. My legislative package that passed in the West Virginia legislature shows my convictions - actions, not words.

So a guy who brings confederate crosses and swastikas to his rallies is opportunisticly scolding karen brookshire and sewing the seeds of division after she made a simple, honest gaffe.

To clarify: if someone has the Confederate battle flag flying at their rally, you wouldn't vote for them, yes? And you would condemn them in the strongest words possible?

"No, Ms Brookshire, you are not fighting for Texan values, you do not fight for family values either. Family values to you is the millions of dollars you inherited from the Brookshire Grocery Company to run this vanity campaign of yours for Senate. Meanwhile, I am a real conservative running to put Family First and stand up for the rights of the unborn, but I don't believe you would understand that because you are a flip-flopping inner-city liberal trying to run as a Republican."

Brookshire: “Can you do anything but call others names Mr. Cramp?”

She shook her head but lifted it up before speaking.

“To me, family values is babysitting my nieces and nephews. To me, family values is showing up to take care of my mother when she battled her illness. To me, family values was stepping in to save my family business in 2008. To me, family values is fighting to keep Texans employed at our business, because all of those hard-working Texans are my family too. To me, family values means more than just helping who I was born to but who I can lean on and who can lean on me during hard times.”

“And the thousands of Texans joining me in fighting for America, joining this movement of fighting for America. They are my family too.”

She gestured to the audience.

“So maybe family values mean something a little different to me and the millions of Texans across this state than they do to you. But don’t ever insinuate I or any hard-working, law-abiding Texan doesn’t have them.”

Paulson was frustrated. Brookshire’s gaffe was one thing, but it seemed like she was letting Cramp drag her into the mud.

She began to type a text into her phone to Karen that said, “you know...I know a good debate coach.” But she deleted it rather than sending it.

"Return the millions of dollars that you received from Brookshires Grocery and run on your merits instead. You're acting as though everyday Texans can't access the FEC filings. Stop using your families business as a slush-fund and run on your merits like I have. It is an elitist attitude and I am surprised that you don't even pretend that you aren't an inner city, liberal flip-flopper when it comes down to the crunch."

Governor Jonah Prendergast Jr.
Washington, District of Columbia
Saturday 18th May, 2019

Having met with the President, the President's (smarter) son and the President's daughter, there was only one major figure amongst the Wolfs that Prendergast had yet to meet with. The First Lady. Arriving at the East Wing early that morning, he felt somewhat anxious about the situation. He wanted to be earnest to earn her support, but he also didn't want to provoke anything. Her relationship with her husband was one of America's greatest enigmas by any means, but poke it the wrong way and he could be in for some mighty blowback. Still, he had respect for her dignity and poise, and as he waited, he rubbed his hands together with some anxiety. In truth, Eliza intimidated him a little. She was a force of her own.

Eliza, after finishing a phone call related to a certain program she's planning on setting up and announcing in time, came out of her office to greet the Governor, trying not to let him wait for too long. Opening up her arms as to set up a handshake, she greeted him as she walked over, "Governor Prendergast, it's nice to see you!"

"Madam First Lady, a pleasure to meet you." He nodded softly, going to shake her hand firmly but not overly so, and nodded softly. "How is everything here in the East Wing?"

An idea you yourself have taken after I made it a central part of my campaign. And I have continued to defend and campaign on being pro-life and ending abortions, on cutting foreign aid, rebuilding our infrastructure, cutting taxes for middle-class families, toughening our laws, and balancing our budget. That’s what I stand for plain and simple.”
