If it's true it's weird and creepy. If it's false, it's also weird and creepy.

and it's pretty common in Latin America. The kid's name isn't the weird thing about this story.

Classical names are fairly common in some Latin American countries.

My question was literal. Did Gaetz re-name his adopted child, or is “Nestor” his birth name?

It really doesn’t matter. I think I will delete the post.

Also of note, Matt Gaetz was the *only* Congressperson to vote against an anti-human trafficking bill.

Why did he adopt a Cuban boy in secret??





Absolutely nothing wrong with gay adoption (it should be legalized everywhere), but why did Gaetz break from his party to bring it to Florida?





Hey
@mattgaetz
, do the names Natalie Winters and Sofia Carbone mean anything to you? A little birdie told me what you did to them…

Matt Gaetz would hate it if the names Natalie Winters and Sofia Carbone appeared all over his Twitter feed… these poor girls are younger than his “son” & the things he did to them are inexcusable. Matt Gaetz is a predator.





Uh, guys… according to the US Department of State, there has only been 1 adoption from Cuba in the last 2 decades, and it was a female…
@mattgaetz
- why does the government have no record of your ‘adoption’?

There was always something creepy about Gaetz but I thought he was just a really stupid douche.
But I'd bet there is something else.
