Sen. Cornyn's challenger slams super PAC using her tattoos to frame her as 'radical' [View all]

MJ Hegar's tattoos conceal the scars from shrapnel wounds sustained during her service in Afghanistan as an Air Force helicopter pilot.

A super PAC supporting Sen. John Cornyn in his campaign for reelection in Texas used a photograph of his Democratic opponent, MJ Hegar, on a website to portray her tattooed appearance as "radical," she said in a tweet on Thursday.

Hegar took to social media to remind Texans that misogyny is alive and well in the Lone Star State.

"A pro-Cornyn Super PAC is using a photo of my tattoos to make me seem 'radical,'" she said. "That's pretty funny to me."

Hegar added that the ad's implications were troubling due to the meaning behind her tattoos.
