Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is currently under investigation for having sex with a 17-year-old girl, has big thoughts on women who are upset about Roe v. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court.

How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches?

Good time to remember that Matt Gaetz was also “the only member of Congress to vote against a law boosting the government’s human trafficking investigatory powers” in 2017.

Gaetz seems to be doing little more than using his soapbox to try out for a future media gig and using his power as a congressman to belittle women. Republicans like him seem to think their full-time job is trolling the libz, which is far easier to do than coming up with actual policy ideas around pressing issues like climate change, health care, and election integrity.

Needless to say, there were a number of stinging responses on Twitter.

Matt, why is it not surprising that in your brain, women in their 30s are somehow decrepit and barren?

they should be living their best lives, underaged, coked up and passed around by guys pushing 40?

This is how the Republican Party views you women. I don’t know what more you need to motivate you to get involved in midterms NOW and FIERCELY!!!

Now, Matthew. We went to college together and had several classes together. I don’t think it’s wise for you to comment on anyone’s intelligence. You know, the whole glass houses thing. https://t.co/FYypLotvYU

Now that we know Republicans are launching a full-scale assault on abortion rights, are you more motivated to organize and donate to Democrats as we head toward the November midterms?
