John, at Women’s March, we believe women.
So when news broke last week that GOP Congressman and close Trump ally Matt Gaetz is under investigation by the Department of Justice for his involvement with trafficking and extortion, we were infuriated.
Since then, the news has only gotten worse. Matt Gaetz is being accused of showing off to other lawmakers photos and videos of nude women he said he’s slept with. Reports also claim that he was allegedly in a relationship with a 17 year old girl. On top of the fact that he’s one of Trump’s most loyal supporters and has fought to keep his racist, misogynist agenda alive — Matt Gaetz has proved to us time after time that he’s a threat to women everywhere in our country.
Conduct like this is despicable from anyone, in any job — but as a Congressperson, it’s disqualifying.
We’re disturbed by the stories women are sharing regarding Gaetz’s long history of misconduct, but not surprised. His entire political career has been rooted in a pro-Trump, anti-woman agenda.
When Trump claimed that the election was stolen from him, Matt Gaetz was on the frontlines pushing a false narrative about election fraud and was a key player in inciting the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.
When Florida legislators passed a bill to prevent people from sharing sexually explicit photos of their ex-partners online, Matt Gaetz cast one of just two House votes against it.
When six women of Asian descent were murdered by a white supremacist, Matt Gaetz still voted down the Violence Against Women Act in Congress.
We’ve seen enough: Matt Gaetz is a threat to the safety of women and the democratic values of our country. He must resign.
Keep fighting,
Women’s March
