Matt Gaetz mocked for ‘no Bumble matches’ comments on Roe protesters

Congressman Matt Gaetz was instantly condemned and mocked online after he suggested women protesting against Roe v Wade’s possible revocation by the Supreme Court were “under-loved millennials” with “no Bumble matches”.

The Republican, who remains under investigation for possible sex trafficking of minors – something he denies and says is politically motivated – tweeted on Wednesday morning after protests sprang up throughout the US in opposition to Roe being overturned.

“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?,” asked Mr Gaetz.
