Trump Admin Civil Rights Lawyer Has History Of Harassing Women And Gays

A top lawyer, Matt Bowman, who works for the Civil Rights division at the Department of Health and Human Services has been arrested multiple times in his life for harassing women and gays. Typically, we’d say this is just par for the course for the Trump administration, but this is far more sinister than the usual “Fox guarding the henhouse” scenario. The man is clearly a threat to others, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Most people have probably never heard of Matt Bowman, but Matt Bowman happens to be a top civil rights lawyer at the Department of Health and Human Services Office for civil rights. This is the guy that is out there every day fighting to make sure that we have a quality here in the United States and that nobody is oppressed based on their gender, gender identity, sexual preference, the color of their skin, the religion, nothing. This guy, Matt Bowman is the one out there making sure that everybody is on a level playing field except of course for the fact that Mr. Bowman spent most of his early life fighting to make sure that nobody was equal and that if you weren't just like him and believe just like him, then you're a piece of trash. According to recent reports, uh, this one specifically from LGBTQ nation, Mr. Bowman has been arrested multiple times throughout his life for harassing women and gay people.

I am going to read you some things off this list right here of different times when Bowman was either arrested or had the police called on him. And again, let's not forget Donald Trump specifically appointed this guy to be a top lawyer at a health and Human Services Office of human rights. Let's start. Here we go.

"In a 1999 incident, he “got in [the] face” of a woman who refused to take anti-abortion brochures. She called the police, and the police said that he refused to stop harassing women until the officer threatened a disorderly conduct citation."

"In 2000, another security guard named Daniel Martin told police that Bowman trespassed on his property and went through his mail. Months later, Bowman was protesting with signs that said 'Daniel Martin Liar-Murderer-Coward!'"

So he picked a random security guard at a hospital by the way, went through his mail and then started putting that guy's name on signs. That guy was just a security guard at a hospital, but Bowman thought they were doing abortions in the hospital, so sure, I'm going to go after the security guard.

"In another incident, police were called when Bowman was harassing a woman on the topic of abortion, but the police report said that he fled the scene before the cops arrived."

"In 1997, he went down to Florida to join Reverend Flip Benham’s protest of Disney with 100 high school students."

"They protested what they called the “Tragic Kingdom,” accusing Disney of promoting the “homosexual life,” citing Ellen DeGeneres."

Yeah, because, because they were airing El and I guess they promoting the, uh, homosexual life and Bowman wasn't going to have any of that. No, no, no. So I'm protesting Disney world in Florida.

"Later that year, he organized another protest, this time in honor of a sniper who murdered abortion provider Dr. Barnett Slepian."

"He also protested sex education at a school, where the principal called the police over his 'aggressiveness,' and a Republican state legislator’s office because she was accused of supporting an abortion procedure."

“In 1996 he was arrested for breaking into Senator Bob Dole's office in DC and refusing to leave unless Dole, then a presidential candidate, said he would support a constitutional amendment banning abortion in all circumstances. He was released on bond and didn't return to DC for his court date. And his warrant expired automatically in 1999.”
