Rep. Matt Gaetz was swiftly condemned online after he suggested women protesting against Roe v Wade’s potential SCOTUS revocation were “over-educated, under-loved millennials” with “no bumble matches.”
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?

Many Twitter users pointed out the misogyny in Gaetz’s tweet, while others mocked him for turning away younger voters.
“Just when you thought he couldn’t be more of a pathetic despicable loser… he says this,” one person wrote. “He is a menace to a functioning democratic society. And what a fool. He just got every millennial to vote against Republicans. Buh bye.. loser.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The very concept that a woman can be ‘over-educated’ tells me all I need to know about this,” wrote another. “And the idea that the only women who want rights must be unattractive and frigid is the oldest misogynistic trope in the book. This is a sitting member of Congress.”
Others referenced the ongoing Justice Department investigation involving Gaetz, who denies claims he paid for sex with a 17-year-old.
“Wow. That’s not at all sexist or misogynistic. Hard to believe you’d have to pay for sex,” wrote another Twitter user.

In a single tweet, you laid out exactly how you feel about women. You are a disgusting piece of human garbage who should never be in a position of power.

Last I checked, cats don’t Venmo $500 to underage girls for “ice cream.” 😏

Calling women “over-educated” for caring about their basic freedoms is a pretty concise way to expose how anti-women, anti-education, and anti-freedom the Republican Party really is.

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!!!

Mister P
A nasty scumbag like Gaetz just hates anyone being over educated because she won’t vote for him.
I’m sure the filthy hypocrite has paid for a few abortions.

This is so disgusting and over the top, you would think it was from a parody account.

The damn “over-educated”!
They spoil everything!

There once was a time where our politicians were distinguished and would try to rise above this crap. Trump showed them it’s not about raising the bar, it’s about who can sink to the lowest form. It’s sad and disgusting.
Tiredoftheinsanity
Because a vast portion of our citizenry is and has been in that swap of hate and ignorance and religious zeal and Trump permitted and encouraged them to surface by using rhetoric that they can understand… like all great civilizations, it seems ours is heading towards its demise.

Haven’t you guys figured out yet there is no bottom these hateful Christofascists can reach that will hurt them with their deplorable base? The lower they go the higher their poll numbers go in the GQP Trump loving lineup.

Matt Gaetz is a pedophile sex trafficker racist looks like a character from Beavis and Butthead has the temerity to talk to people like they’re nothing. He sits back on his high horse and thinks that a woman does not have the right to control her body but most sex traffickers believe that women should be under them not beside them equally
zman
How does he know what bumble is and is that how he picks up his teens?
Invader7
He & his kind are disgusting ,vile , sleazy,slimy, scum bags.. But we ALL already knew that. Matt the mindless LOSER just keeps reconfirming his low life status for everyone to see..
cuteguy
The GQP have proved over and over again that they have zero respect for women and yet they continue to win elections. Trumpf even bragged about grabbing them by their p*say and women still voted for him in droves. Until GQP and independent women actually get a brain and vote Democrat, we are all in trouble. One might guess that this latest tragedy of them losing their right to their own bodies would do the trick but unfortunately history has proven otherwise. Maybe GQP women want to become handmaids

have you ever taken a look at matt gaetz? he should have “PREMATURE EJACULATOR” tattoo’d to his ugly forehead.

Matt Gaetz has to co conspirators who flipped on him months ago and yet the DOJ still hasn’t moved on a very very straightforward sex trafficking case.
So is Garland a Republican in sheep’s clothing, or has he decided that indicting powerful Republicans is not something he wants to do, or is he just out of it?
There is no reason Gaetz hasn’t been indicted yet.
scotty
he always looks like he just took out maddie cawthorns buttplug, licked it off and stuffed up his own ass and will pass it to gym jordan at the next orgy.
