The Hill reports:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is facing backlash after questioning how many “over-educated, under-loved” women have participated in protests supporting abortion rights after a draft ruling from the Supreme Court showed that the bench is poised to roll back Roe v. Wade.
A number of tweets criticizing the congressman referenced the sex trafficking investigation that is examining the 39-year-old congressman.
Investigators are probing to see if Gaetz paid for sex, engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and if he paid women to cross over state lines to have sex with him. The congressman has denied the allegations, contending that he has not paid for sex nor had sex with a minor while he was an adult
Here we have a member of the U.S. Congress indulging in witless and vulgar misogyny. I assume @RonDeSantisFL and @marcorubio are in full support of his reelection? https://t.co/5hjanQ3xvB

“Over-educated”
If you think this kind of language is just a gaffe, you’re wrong pic.twitter.com/H1uuZXLDOp

Republicans like Matt Gaetz are for government-mandated pregnancy, against education, and against cats.
You can help on campaigns to decide whether or not he is in the majority this November (assuming he isn’t indicted by the DOJ who is investigating him for sex crimes). https://t.co/yfmm0NplPJ

How many of the right wing members of Congress rallying against Roe are under investigation for sex trafficking a minor? Just you? https://t.co/oqSo1XjPwQ

How many Florida politicians are out here using a tax collector as a personal pimp to procure sex with a 17 year old girl because they’re a predator and gross?
Hypothetically speaking, of course. https://t.co/eVMYUZFb4l

Wow, @mattgaetz you’re supposed to be a grown man. Supposed to be, but between the underaged girls and your 9th grade intellect you’ve shown that a pillow fisted, DUI having Daddy’s boy really makes for a shit human. Sad for you… boy. https://t.co/uozBKRFPxX

At least they’re not sex-trafficking little boys and calling them their “son”. Meal delivery subscription for 2? https://t.co/QsRIOg1C8n
