Matt Gaetz wants to be Florida’s top law enforcement official. His latest pitch? Calling “over-educated, under-loved white women” the “true pandemic.” That’s the full quote. And somehow, he’s still being seriously floated for Attorney General.

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
