ICYMI: Teenager Bullied By Matt Gaetz Raised Over Two Million Dollars For Abortion Rights
He bullied the teenager by posting her profile pic to his followers on Twitter.
Matt Gaetz, a pro-Trump, far-right US Congressman from the state of Florida, decided to body shame the teenage girl on social media.
It started on July 23 when, in front of a crowd of teenagers and young adults at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, the 40-year-old decided to say that the women who were protesting for their reproductive rights and freedoms didn’t need to — because they were too ugly to be impregnated.
This creep, a predator under investigation for sex trafficking and raping minors, asked “why is that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions?”
He went on to say, to applause and whooping:
Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb. These people are odious on the inside and 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…A few of them need to get up and march. They need to get up and march for like an hour a day. Swing those arms. Get the blood pumping. Maybe miss a salad.
