(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., mocked the hordes of pro-abortion rioters for their obesity and ugliness, and then doubled-down on his declaration.
“These people are odious on the inside and out,” Gaetz said Saturday at a Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa.
“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 said.
“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.”
When asked by a reporter later to explain his comments, Gaetz refused to back down.

“Is it safe to say that, based off your comments, you’re suggesting that these women at these abortion rallies are ugly and overweight?” the reporter asked.
“Yes,” Gaetz responded.
“What do you say to people who think those comments are offensive?” the reporter continued.
“Be offended,” he answered.
Of course Gaetz’s comments sent the Left spiraling into a tizzy.
Journalist Mary Papenfuss at the Huffington Post penned a hysterical article cataloging the responses of various leftists.
“Critics were stunned,” Papenfuss wrote.
Leftist on Twitter also attacked Gaetz for his very mean comments.
