1. Gaetz never adopted him. No adoptions from Cuba since 99

2. 31 year old single men w/ multiple DUIs don’t get custody of 12 yo boys

2. The kid lived with his biodad in Miami til he turned 18

3. Biomom is alive & comments on his FB

4. Gaetz dated Nestor’s sister for years https://twitter.com/agiftuniverse/status/1274309729607614466
5. Every single bio of Gaetz including on his own website makes no mention of a son, despite adopting a poor Cuban refugee being something that would get Florida votes. He does note his dog, which isn’t a great look when you’re trying to point out how much you value POC
6. In all previous photos & videos, Gaetz refers to Nestor as his “helper” or “local student” which is how normal people talk about their beloved sons

7. Gaetz is claiming to have had custody of a minor to which he had no legal or blood attachment for years which is also normal
8. In explaining this whole bizarre situation, Gaetz said he was “triggered” by being told he doesnt know what it’s like to have a black son. I guess it’s ok for fascists to use that word but when liberals do, we’re weak snowflakes

9. THIS SNOWFLAKE STILL DOESNT HAVE A BLACK SON
10. Matt Gaetz is the only member of Congress to vote against the law banning human trafficking in 2017, during which time he now claims to have had unsupervised extra-legal custody of a minor refugee despite both of the child’s parents, his sister & aunt being alive & well
11. Lastly, it sincerely blows my mind that Gaetz thought opening this astonishingly weird can of worms that definitely will make a lot of people think he’s a pedophile was preferable to suffering a black man telling him he doesn’t know what he’s talking about (which he does not)
12. Sorry, this is the last one.

Using this young Cuban man as a Reverse Uno card against the idea that you don’t know what it’s like to have a black son is the height of white dudery.

This isn’t about you, that boy is not black, POC are not all the same, he’s not your son.
