And also that he's under investigation for sleeping with a 17-year-old.

(Greenberg, who entered a plea deal last year, “will continue to honor his obligations pursuant to that agreement,” his attorney said in August.) There’s a lot to unpack here, but right upfront, for those who are unaware, the very important context is that this tweet was written by a guy currently under investigation for allegedly paying women for sex and, separately, sleeping with a minor and transporting her across state lines.

Trickle-down creeponomics: Gaetz calls women protesting Roe draft ... (USA TODAY)

GOP congressman's despicable response to women who support abortion rights reveals what really drives Trump-era Republicans: sexism, plain and simple.

When supporters of former one-term, twice-impeached President Donald Trump attack the U.S. Capitol building because their guy lost the election, it’s “legitimate political discourse.” When a powerful woman speaks out about women having a right to bodily autonomy, it’s “unhinged” and “petulant.” Trump's divisiveness was worth the price to secure what may be the end of Roe v. But if you want to know what’s really driving this bus off the cliff, look no further than the congressman from Florida’s derpy yet strikingly revelatory tweet. A 2021 Quinnipiac poll showed that even 39% of Republican voters say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. (The congressman is being investigated by the Department of Justice over allegations he engaged in sex trafficking and had sex with an underage girl. I’m glad he spoke his feeble mind, because it shows us what’s driving the push to overturn Roe v. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. On Wednesday, Fox News contributor and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee retweeted a video of Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaking passionately about the possibility of Roe being overturned. He added this comment: “Unhinged. When leftists don't get their way, they howl at the moon, let go primal screams, threaten & arrogantly take umbrage at not getting their way. On Tuesday, J.D. Vance won the GOP senate primary in Ohio. Gaetz campaigned for him. Gaetz sees women, at least those who disagree with his worldview, as having too much education for their own good.

The Florida representative quickly faced backlash for a tweet saying those protesting the leaked Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v.

(He has denied the allegations.) He reportedly had a habit of showing nude photos and videos of women he slept with to fellow members of Congress. He has also closely aligned himself with Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was stripped of her committee assignments by colleagues and is known for such classic hits as learning about the Holocaust in the year 2021 and her overall rampant bigotry. In response to those protests, Gaetz tweeted the following: “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?” Today’s installment of “Why Are You Even Tweeting?” is brought to you by none other than Florida representative Matt Gaetz. In response to the leaked Supreme Court opinion that revealed the justices had voted to overturn Roe v.

Social causes like abortion, LGBTQ rights, and racial justice are flattened into one bogeyman of “CRT-Marxism-Trans,” promoted by antifa witches and ugly, depressed feminists who don’t fit into the conservative family ideal. He references “millennials” to pander to boomers who think the generation they sabotaged is weak and pretentious. “Over-educated” invokes the specter of “Marxist” colleges.

We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. The investigation into Gaetz stemmed from a federal probe into former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel Greenberg, who in June pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a minor, among other federal crimes.
