Matt Gaetz‘s latest dig at abortion activists completely blew up in his face over the weekend.
The anti-LGBTQ congressman, who recently voted against codifying same-sex marriage into federal law, spoke at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. During his speech, he made misogynistic remarks about abortion rights activists.
“The people are just disgusting. Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb,” the badly Botoxed 40-year-old said to the roomful of students.
How about we take this to the next level?

“These people are odious from the inside out. They’re like 5′ 2″, 350 pounds, and they’re like, ‘Give me my abortions or I’ll get up and march and protest.’ And I’m thinking —march? You look like you got ankles weaker than the legal reasoning behind Roe v. Wade.”

Gaetz’s below-the-belt remarks may have gotten laughs from the Turning Point USA crowd, but on social media, people were quick to note the irony of a dude with an enormous forehead and who is under FBI investigation for paying a teenager for sex mocking other people for being too ugly to get laid.
Here are some tweets…
Matt Gaetz can say what he wants about adult women on the left, but let’s not pretend MAGA rallies are beauty contests, or that Matt Gaetz is interested in adult women.

It's completely obscene that Matt Gaetz is at CPAC talking about women who aren't attracted enough to get impregnated when his gigantic, ugly cranium should be in prison for paying to have sex with girls.

Can we get a #gofundme campaign started to pay the legal fees for the first person to punch Matt Gaetz right in his huge rapey forehead? #rapeymcforehead

REMINDER: Matt Gaetz is under investigation for sex trafficking a minor.

Matt Gaetz is trending which is a great reminder that a guy whose forehead could be used as a landing strip shouldn’t make jokes about women who look like thumbs.

No one wants to be impregnated or even touched by Matt Gaetz, but that’s never stopped him before. Maybe a long prison sentence for sex trafficking underage girls would.

Are reporters gonna give Matt Gaetz a pass for calling women who want basic human rights ugly?
— Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) July 24, 2022
Matt Gaetz, girl, you have some nerve calling anybody ugly.

Those we pretty brutal. But people weren’t finished yet.
To add a little extra insult to much-deserved injury, after video of Gaetz’s remarks went viral on Twitter, so did the hashtag #RapeyMcForehead.
Let’s take a look at some of those tweets…

Gaetz has repeatedly denied paying anyone for sex. Meanwhile, his former wingman, Joel Greenberg, pleaded guilty to six federal charges last year, including child sex trafficking.
Greenberg has had his sentencing delayed several times over the last year so he can continue cooperating with investigators on the probe into the anti-LGBTQ lawmaker’s alleged underage sex crimes.

Mister P
Why is a guy who will never get pregnant, so obsessed over controlling women’s bodies ?
JB
I’m far more concerned that a man under investigation for sex trafficking a 17-year-old was permitted to speak at a convention attended by teenagers.
bachy
Political rhetoric goes lower and gets uglier every day. A gruesome state of affairs.
GrizzleyMichael
He should talk he is a total ugliest piece of shit and I bet all the women he rapes probably throw ups after he attacks them. Of course he can’t get a woman he has to pay for them to have sex with him.

so i guess Ginger-Ale Unlucky went swimming one day and was eaten by a shark.
Did they ever have her funeral?
Is Nestor the adopted grown-man-son still in the picture or did go back to Bogata?
one more thing…do pedophiles have to worry about abortions now?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I am going to have to research them.

He looks like a potato on the damaged/marked down shelf at ALDI.

Really. If you look like a cursed ventriloquist dummy you shouldn’t mock other people’s looks.

The Log Cabin Republicans of Texas are finally admitting they’re total failures
Gee, I wonder– what was their first clue?

you can trust texans to truthfully investigate themselves as much as you trust a pig with watermelons. cant trust a pig with watermelons ya know.

It’s so weird when ugly men (ie Gaetz and Trump) make fun of women for their looks.

Alleged pedo Gaetz says what?
