The Tallahassee Democrat reports:
Florida congressman Matt Gaetz told a crowd of young people at a conference here Saturday that women protesting abortion access are less likely to get pregnant because they aren’t attractive. “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions?” Gaetz said. “Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb.”
Gaetz went on to say that “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’ and I’m thinking: ‘March? You look like you got ankles weaker than the legal reasoning behind Roe vs Wade.’ 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 mix in a salad.”
The Huffington Post reports:
“Have you watched these pro-abortion, pro-murder rallies?” Gaetz asked the crowd at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa. “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?”
Critics were stunned. Jezebel ripped the comments as “cartoonishly misogynist.” Texas Democratic State Rep. Erin Zwiener was one of many to lambast the congressman on Twitter: “Gaetz, we don’t care if you think we’re hot. Either way, we deserve to make our own decisions about our futures.”
This sounds like Trump’s she’s-too ugly-to-rape-defense. At the Turning Points conference, Matt Gaetz says nobody wants to impregnate ugly abortion rights advocates anyway, so what are they worried about? Offensive beyond words. https://t.co/tVDG062KWD

We shouldn’t be seeing Matt Gaetz on stage insulting women’s looks, we should be seeing him arrested and convicted for child sex trafficking and for his role in seditious conspiracy.

Reminder: Matt Gaetz had to pay women to touch his tiny penis. https://t.co/Fy8TNTKl1y

Matt Gaetz and his friend Joel Greenberg had to pay underage girls to have sex with them.
Sit down, @RepMattGaetz. https://t.co/1l99EK5Ohx

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.

Put aside that Gaetz is basically a sybaritic gargoyle on the inside. How does this help the pro-life or conservative cause @TurningPointACT? How does this not repel more people than it attracts? It’s not just grotesque, it’s harmful to what you claim to want. https://t.co/uaK7E2G9i1
