Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) picked the wrong 19-year-old to mess with on Twitter. After his gross comments about activist Olivia Julianna’s appearance, the teen has turned Gaetz’s rude remark into his nightmare, raising over $1.5 million in donations for access to reproductive health care. Gaetz tweeted a photo of Julianna on Sunday after she called him out for saying women who fight abortion bans are ugly and fat in a speech. “Am I not a little too old for you Matt?” Julianna replied. “I know you have a thing for targeting teenagers but 19 is on the cusp don’t you think?” The goal for the fund is $1.75 million—and Julianna and her crew are already incredibly close.

Listen to Olivia Julianna’s interview on this week’s episode of The Daily Beast’s New Abnormal podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Amazon Music, or Overcast.
