Matt Gaetz reveals he has a brown “son”

Same color as his own asshole.

Who are they?

There's nothing suspicious at all about an unmarried 38 year-old congressman living with his strapping and handsome adopted "son" from Cuba! Nestor helps me out with so many chores around the house and in the yard! And of course when we're done, we take a nice healthy father-son shower together afterwards.

Matt Gaetz@mattgaetz

For all those wondering, this is my son Nestor. We share no blood but he is my life. He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida.

I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.

Gaetz says he has lived with Nestor (who is now 19) since Nestor was 12.

[quote] We share no blood but he is my life.

What about other fluids?

So he’s had a “son” for 7 years and no one knows about him

I don’t buy this story one bit

Matt Gaetz@mattgaetz

Nestor turned 19 a few days ago & will be off to University. He arrived here at 12.

As you can imagine, I was triggered when (to make an absurd debate point) a fellow congressman diminished the contributions of Republicans because we don’t raise non-white kids.

Well, I have.

Erin Gaetz@ErinGaetz·1h

Nestor came into our lives when he was 12 and had just lost his mother. He didn’t speak English, but luckily, Matt speaks Spanish.

Matt has been an incredible father to Nestor, who just graduated from high school and will be attending college in the fall. So proud of them both.

WTF? I want receipts.

A single Congressman 'adopts' a young son and he doesn't reveal it until now?

Is Gaetz anti-immigration? Nestor was a Congressional page. How did Nestor not speak English if he lived in the US prior to this? Did he go to Cuba to adopt this kid? Cuz I don't think that was legal back then.

This smells.

So a 31 year old (at the time) party boy with countless DUIs adopted a 12 year old Cuban who didn’t speak English? Who is he trying to fool? And you’re telling me he hasn’t paraded the kid around until now?

I love when my Dad calls me "Local student" too. You seem close.

90 day fiancée: US Congress

OMG! Nestor=JOEL!

How much is Gaetz paying this mook dandy to claim he's his "son"?

For all those wondering, this is my son Enrique. We share no blood but he is my life. He came from Paraguay (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Palm Springs

I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.

Nestor is Cuban for designated driver

Maybe Nestor helps carry his luggage?

This smells indeed!

Too damn convenient, and it just doesn’t make sense to introduce this now with so much left unexplained. I bet the same people that set up Andrew Gillum have some dirt on Our Bro Matt.

But if there isn’t some other scandalous side to this, it pisses me off. Remember when now WH CoS Matt Meadows came to tears during the Kavanaugh/Blasey-Ford hearings because someone called him racist? He said he had a mixed-race grandchild.

Once Nestor’s use to him fades (or starts realizing there are better cocks to suck and cleaner asses to pound) we ain’t hear from him. And Our Bro Matt will move onto Dominican guys to get his gape on.

If this is all a fraud Hell won't have Gaetz. Someone will come out with the truth. If it's a lie it will be too easy for people in high places to find out the truth.

So this guy who tried to get gay adoption made illegal in Florida in 2016 adopted a foreign-born adolescent, 'raising' him while he worked 1000 miles away in Congress?

Here's a Nestor Galban, who attended Mater Academy Charter in Hialeah and graduated this year.

So Gaetz lived and represented the Panhandle of Florida and this kid grew up in a suburb of Miami?

Nah - this is bullshit. Nestor was a Congressional page - Gaetz started fucking him in DC. That's the real T.

Erin Gaetz@ErinGaetz

Here’s one of my favorite family photos from a few Easters ago. My dad, Matt and Nestor planting a smooch on my mama!

I forgot to add that La Senatrice must be asking for extra-hard spankings after hearing this. His bestie McCain adopted a foreign baby, and now Gaetz has Nestor. The answer to his happiness has been in front of his eyes this whole time!

This is so bizarre. He only trots it out when his not being married and not having kids was mentioned. Adopting a kid isn't anything shameful.

"Came here at 12" - I really hope that doesn't mean he was a father figure to Nestor since 12 and it turned into something else. Maybe it really is a regular father/son relationship, or Nestor didn't live with him at 12 and is actually a "pool boy." It's all so weird. People always sink deeper in the muck when they double down and overcompensate for things.

Who is Erin Gaetz?

So someone was getting ready to publish a tell all, right?

His sister is really going in overtime defending him.

This is just plain weird - to ANYONE.

Was he the son of their maid? What young Congressman decides to adopt a 12 year old child who doesn't SPEAK ENGLISH at the age of 31?

This kid was the son of someone who worked for them. I don't think he raised this kid - they may have helped financially.

Hiding in plain sight.

Not to defend Matty boy but I believe he actually fought to repeal Florida’s same sex adoption ban

That guy is only 19?! Is that in perro years??

I think Matt spelled it "son," but meant to spell it "spouse."

Gaetz's younger sister Erin was director of digital content for Jeb Bush's 2016 presidential campaign.[133]

This is just the weirdest fucking thing!

I question him bring 19 myself. I know we all look 19 on Datalounge, but that “kid” could pass for 30.

He has a dog named Scarlett.

Gaetz is definitely gay.

His name is "gae!"

[quote]Gaetz is definitely gay.

No. Save the toaster oven for someone with a soul.

Why mention this now? I know he is up for re-election this fall. But he was AGAINST the Dreamers Act.

I still would love to know how the fuck he raised this kid? He was 31, state congressman then US congressman, living in Talahassee and DC.

Did he somehow financially support the kid and is now calling him his son?

And who the fuck adopts a brown child because Democrats said that Republicans don't raise non-white kids? I mean - JFC. How stupid do they think we are?

Where is this son of his, whom for some reason he's never even mentioned up until now the way most people do their children, going to university in the fall? Somewhere nearby?

Agree with everyone that this doesn't pass the smell test.

What single 31 year old secretly adopts some random adolescent from another country?!?

Nestor’s IG

Of course he came over legally from Cuba.

Because older Cubans in Florida voted Republicans, they got whatever they wanted politically--including any Cuban who gets to the US, no matter how, automatically qualifies for permanent residency!

Maybe this is how they snuck Elian Gonzalez back in?

I hope some journalist does a deep dive on this story. Seems to me like he's trying to get ahead of something coming out (or being forced out...) I don't trust this Neanderthal -looking creep as far as I could throw him.

Daddy raised his son to be a deplorable judging by his instagram

the guy is hot!

He's absolutely trying to get ahead of an exposé. Four years ago he referred to his "son" as a "local student" and congressional page. Hmm.

Matt Gaetz’s jaw is terrifying. He looks like the offspring of Batboy from The Weekly World News and a lesser Kennedy.

Holy shit.

Does Nestor have an hermano?

This doesn’t add up,but even if proven semi-legit,it is one of the most tone-deaf acts of tokenism I’ve ever seen!

“Hi I’m Matt Gaetz!!You know,of opposition to DACA and drunk-driving fame..Let me just use my previously unacknowledged adult “son” as a PROP,in this time of great racial unrest,to gloat and also own the libs!”

You can’t write this stuff.

That is a rather mature looking 19-year old.

Waiting . . .

He's a page. No, a local student. No, he's my son. No, he's a page. No, a local student. No, he's my son.

We need to see the birth certificate r52.

^😂Gold!

Why didn't I think of this?!

He was trying to use the little prop to bait this brilliant Congressman and got schooled, hard. Last line (while Gaetz is foaming at the mouth): "Was that a nerve?"

Forgot the link

There’s still time, Bryan R57. Cuba didn’t stop making brown, bubble-butted boys.

Nestorgatez

From the shirtless photo on his IG he appears to have a tragic case of tinynips, at least for a Cuban.

It is amazing how many videos there are out showing Gaetz getting owned. You would think that jughead would get a clue.

Mr.Matt likes my pinga.

Some background

Twitter is dragging Gaetz mercilessly

#Papapendejo

From R65

[quote]Matt Gaetz, currently a member of the Florida House of Representatives, portrays himself to the Bible-thumping voters of the Panhandle as a God-fearing conservative. However, even a partial glance at Gaetz’s record reveals at least seven arrests for drunk driving and a reputed alternate gay life style. Gaetz’s politically powerful father Don ensured that none of the arrests led to prosecutions.

Twitter reply thread:

Nestor- “I love you, keep up the good work, we all support you and love you!”

Matt- “Love you Nestor!”

Random- “Nestor, blink twice if you need a rescue. You don't have to live like this.“

Nestor- “Matt is the best dad/mentor anyone could ever ask for, he has taught me a lot, and I’m thankful to have him in my life.”

Random- “I too like my dad to only reveal my existence as a political prop, and otherwise refer to me as “local student” in press releases. 😆”

This will ALL end in tears.

"I hope some journalist does a deep dive on this story"

No- prying into people's secret lives is unfair!

Betty's son, Nestor

What about his dead roommate?

Why does his "son" not have the same last name?

Why does he give no explanation of how a kid comes from Cuba and ends up living with him??

So odd

There’s a video in which he call Nestor “my helper.”

Does the hung...errr... young Cuban not have a bio dad, or grandparents? Some cousins perhaps?

[quote]He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida.

"He came from Cuba." How delightfully vague.

So when proof surfaces that they are fucking (you know it's coming), will Matt turn himself in for incest?

Little Nestor Happy At Last!

Nes-TOR?

Nah, I'm gonna to need to see a birth certificate.

Who's the top?

Daddy's Little Helper...sure, Jan. Not as creative as "personal photographer," I must say.

R38, Matt is doing this because he was slapped down HARD yesterday by Rep. Richmond.

So when proof surfaces that they are fucking (you know it's coming), will Matt turn himself in for incest?

I hate this asshole so much.

Daddy dresses me in the best Frat Boy clothes. He says I “look good enough to eat”, whatever that means.

[Quote] I hate this asshole so much.

That's not what daddy told me.

Social media sucks ass a lot of the time but his Twitter feed is when it’s at its best.

They’re DESTROYING him.

WHAT IS HAPPENING

Lawdy, where does one aquire a Nestor? And does he know how to sign an NDA?

[R74]OMG!Helper?!?!HELPER!?!?!?

Matt is a Taurus. The males are always abusive and usually Drunks.

Notice that Gaetz is careful not to claim he adopted Nestor. Nestor just came from Cuba one day, and now he lives with Gaetz.

Because that's a totally normal thing.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tia Mitchell:

I first heard of Nestor when I wrote an article in 2015 about Gaetz. He had ridiculed black lawmakers & was accused of racism. A GOP operative called & said Gaetz was hurt partially because his girlfriend & her son were people of color.

I stood my ground on the newsworthiness of my article and refused to allow Gaetz, via the operative, to use his relationship as some “get out of being accused of racism” card. The operative also used her proximity to a child of color in the convo. It was interesting.

I can’t say for sure if the operative who called me in 2015 was referring to Nestor. I wasn’t given a name. I was told Gaetz had a girlfriend who was a POC and the girlfriend had a son. When Gaetz was interacting with Richmond yesterday, I recalled that convo.

Brown son in the ring

Tra la la la la

Sounds like Nestor has Stockholm Syndrome.

“My Daddy is the best! No one could ask for a better Daddy than mine!”

“Nestor, show us where he touched you...”

Don't let them pretend otherwise.

Sharing blood is what really matters.

But it's important to clean up the mess.

There is a kid by that name who was on the 18-19 year old soccer team in a high school in Florida, so maybe this kid who looks 27 really is a 19yo high school boy.

Not that there aren't a million questions to ask about this crazy shit.

This paparazzi photo from March, miss girl.... I think we nailed it: He's closeted, really hates himself and knows he's unattractive and undesired by gay men. I can't, I can't, I can't. lol

Philippe Reines @PhilippeReines ·

Hope he wasn’t the one who taught Nestor how to drive.

Katie Hill tweet:

“Many of you know @mattgaetz & I have an unlikely friendship. I can’t stand a lot of his beliefs but he’s been there for me when others haven’t. He talks about Nestor more than anything, has done so much for his son & is truly a proud dad. This #freenestor thing is bullshit. Stop.”

The proudest moment of my life was when I adopted the Rodriguez Quintuplets after saving them from swimming to Key West from Cuba.

We don't share blood because that's gross, but we share our lives and experiences. I've had them six years and they will be 19 some day. As you see, I am planning to enter them in US Naval Academy because they love water sports and getting it wet.

I'm tearing up. Or is it torn up?

His mug shot from one of his drunk driving arrests. He looks like a serial killer.

BLECH!!!

Alcoholics make the best fathers.

Said no social worker, ever.

He looks like the gay bully from Glee in that picture.

Any pics of them together when his son was 12 or early teens?

Nestor ain’t Black.

Dear Former-Congressperson Hill:

Matt Gaetz is the one who has, for political purposes, decided to use his "brown" adopted son in a bizarre and offensive ploy to distract from his abominable positions on African Americans and the fact that African Americans continue to live with the consequences and contemporary persistence of racism. As if having a Cuban-born adopted son CAN distract.

We honor people who adopt. But we revile people who are racists, liars, dolts and haters. Matt Gaetz is all of these.

Ms. Hill, your having Mr. Gaetz "be there for you" when others weren't has nothing to do with the issue here. The issue here is a fascist pig using his adopted son as a political volley ball while he has attacked the rights and humanity of others who are disadvantaged.

Tend to your own house and don't presume to tell Americans how to respond to such a creature, Ms. Hill.

Sincerely,

Americans Sick of GOP Corruption in All Matters

The proudest day of my life was adopting my son. He’s such a good boy.

The earliest photo anyone has is of Gaetz with "local student" Nestor in 2016, r107. He would have been 15 or maybe 14.

Nestor rhymes with "molester." Coincidence? I think not.

Nestor IS Matty's "helper." He helps Matty keep his sphincter nice and loose. With his big uncut Cuban pinga!

Let's say Gaetz is telling the truth....

He is a wealthy, well-connected white man. Of course he could adopt some kid from Cuba or anywhere else he wants to, regardless of the DUIs.

The State Department reports foreign adoptions. There has been only one adoption of a Cuban child since 1999. A girl.

He didn't mean "adopt" adopt.

How the heck would a 12 year old Cuban boy legally migrate to the US?

"we share no blood, only semen"

R114 Cubans automatically get permanent residency upon arrival to the US, so they wouldn’t be considered “Cuban”.

What a "drunken Faggot"

As r93 said, Gaetz doesn't claim he adopted him from Cuba r114. The wording is very careful.

The whole thing is weird.

Matty probably has had a whole bunch of Nestor's butt babies.

Six years ago was prior to Obama ending the wet-foot/dry-foot policy, so Matt's distinction that the boy arrived "legally "is meaningless--literally all the boy had to do was set foot on US soil. It's as stupid as claiming you stepped outside and breathed in the air legally.

But how did a preteen Cuban refugee end up living with an alcoholic 31 year old r122?

That's the real question!

OK Let’s step back for a moment.

Taking what Rep Katie Hill (D CA) said on Twitter plus what Ms. Mitchell @R94 reported and combining it with what we suspect about Gaetz (R Closet), whats likely?

Sounds like Matt may have bearded with Nestor’s Mom (untethered Cuban emigre with child) early in his political career.

She died.

Twelve year old child is homeless and the Gaetz families (to their credit) took him in.

Seven years later, unrelated boy has become a semi-hunky young man living with Gaetz; who decided to try to make it look better in advance of re-election.

I smell a sitcom!

Gaetz had a girlfriend who died?

^ It will be like a batshit Diff'rent Strokes

I really don't understand what the big deal is.

Sitcom title: "The Drunken Deplorable and His Cuban Catamite".

From 2013. Do 12 year old boys still sit on Santa's lap?

R126, see Twitter and R94

I like Katie Hill and good on her for speaking up for what she believes is truth despite Gaetz execrable politics. But I'm not convinced she knows the real story here.

Is Kinky Katie (D-Disgraced) really a great character reference?

He adopted a 12 year old boy? Gaetz has not one paternal bone in his body...there is something nefarious here. I can totally feel it. Yuk!

The "hot houseboy" speculation seems plausible, but I too throw up in my mouth when I think of it. Until/unless we learn otherwise, I smell the possibility that Gaetz is a sexual predator who learned Spanish in order to groom an innocent refugee child, and has been creating cover stories ever since.

R124, It does seem like Gaetz has a live-in Cuban girlfriend who had a son (Nestor).

Gaetz has completely hidden this during his career and only mention the "son" when challenged about by a black congressman not understanding what black men go through.

Gaetz's outburst was completely non-sequitor and had nothing to with what the congressman said.

Nestor calls Matt’s mom “Grandma”.

Gays are the worst. I’m gay and I deeply despise other gays. Fuck you animals

R131, she doesn't say the girlfriend died.

I completely believe he's a closeted homo, but I really don't think that Nestor is his lover - just an extension of his bearding /coverup efforts. Not that I couldn't believe it.

R138 Fuck off. Go hang with the Republican Racists or Fat Fraus.

Question: Aren't Cubans exceptionally conservative in general? And, generally, do they identify as Latin, Spanish, White, or just Cuban?

As for the dead girlfriend, this woman appears to be calling Nestor her son, so I don't think his mom is dead, even if Erin Gaetz says she is.

Cubans in the US define as white and Republican.

[quote]Gaetz had a girlfriend who died?

It’s not unheard of.

Can I adopt him next? Hubba hubba.

Hahahahaha

This is apparently Nestor's aunt:

Gaetz is so dumpy.

R130, they do if I'm playing Santa!

Matt looks like one of those doughy, creepy guys who pretends to be a young straight guy’s bro while he grooms them to do sex stuff on camera.

When Nestor lost his mom, Matt was dating his sister. Allegedly.

R133 I was thinking her support is almost exactly the wrong thing... tactically puts him in more difficulty.

Ooohh, r146 who is Jose Felix Diaz! I'll take that hot zaddy over the presumably damaged "little helper"!

So this is not his bio or adopted son, but this is maybe the son or brother of Gaetz's maybe beard girlfriend and Gaetz calls him son. Yet Gaetz is a hardcore card carrying member of a political party that does not recognize "alternative" families. And don't get me started on the chain immigration implications. Fuck him for using this boy as political cover.

When I read about this, I immediately thought of the Rackovers and the Joey Comunale murder.

[quote]OMG! Helper?!?!HELPER!?!?!

I know, right?

A White Cuban lovah will not provide cover for his racist attitudes or votes. Hopefully he will soon be outed like the Senatrice. Neither is any different than The Cockgobbler.

Is anyone here familiar with the area of Florida Gaetz represents and explain how he wins elections?

[quote] Gaetz has not one paternal bone in his body...

But Nestor has one in his on a nightly basis.

[quote] Gays are the worst. I’m gay and I deeply despise other gays. Fuck you animals

Oh, look! Matt has found this thread!

[quote]Is anyone here familiar with the area of Florida Gaetz represents and explain how he wins elections?

It's the cousin-fuck part of the Panhandle west of Tallahassee, snuggled up against Alabama.

Ooooo....Matt likes the foreskin.

Of course R138 got 2 W&Ws for that comment.

La PingaGobbler!!!

Hi Mattikins!

[quote]Gaetz's outburst was completely non-sequitor and had nothing to with what the congressman said.

Of course not. It was the queen in him...

[Quote] Is anyone here familiar with the area of Florida Gaetz represents and explain how he wins elections?

It's the part of Florida that penetrates Alabama. So.

Is he implying he is Lady G?

Katie hill is a crazy sex fiend who sleeps with subordinates. Not exactly a great character witness.

If it helps, R164, odds are that R138 is giving itself WWs. One of the strongest tells that a poster's a pure troll is the way their shitty posts unaccountably accumulate "likes".

I wish I could adopt a hot Cuban of legal age.

Did anyone else notice Gaetz's meth mouth? I don't think you get teeth like that from drinking? He's really ragged about the mouth. Too much la leche Cubano, perhaps? Nestor, you in danger gurl.

Good to know, R162 & 168.

Does Phil Ehr have even a snowball's chance of unseating him (especially now)?

Matt Gaetz is like every self-loather I dated in college. "If anyone asks, we know each other from economics class, okay?" They were all big alcoholics too.

So, did he pull strings to make Nestor a congressional page?

[quote]Nes-TOR?

In Spanish, words are always pronounced with the accent on the final syllable, unless they end in a vowel, an 'n', or an 's.' Words that don't follow that convention are written with an accent mark to show where they should be stressed.

[quote]So, did he pull strings to make Nestor a congressional page?

I wish "strings" were the only thing he pulled.

All the clips people are digging up, Gaetz refers to Nestor as a “student” and a “helper”. And now, after having been humiliated in congress once again, this kid is all of the sudden his “son” of 9 years. Sure.

[quote] So, did he pull strings to make Nestor a congressional page?

I'm sure something was pulled, right.

Matt looks inbred.

Nestor just looks bred.

His sister thought that pervy pic at R130 was going to help him?

Some serious grooming going on there... [R187]

[quote]Nestor turned 19 a few days ago & will be off to University.

So he talks like a British housewife.

He probably is r182

So I suppose there aren't enough letters in LGBTQIA? The next thing we'll find out is Matt Gaetz will want to add another letter to describe whatever is going on between him and Nestor.

There is just so much wrong with this, y'all. I don't give a fuck if Gaetz a self-loathing gay but something just seems really wrong about this set up. If he was proud of adopting a boy, he would ALWAYS have referred to him as his son but he doesn't until now.

[quote] Question: Aren't Cubans exceptionally conservative in general?

The older generation that escaped Castro is but at this point they are all over 70. Younger ones are often liberal.

[quote] And, generally, do they identify as Latin, Spanish, White, or just Cuban?

It varies.

In the late 1800s/early 1900s there was a sizable immigration from Spain to Cuba, so many are pure Spanish and don't look particularly Latin--my ex had blond hair and blue eyes but was 100% Cuban (he was US-born)

So they will identify as Cuban and/or white, depending on the situation, but they 100% see themselves as much different than say Mexicans or Puerto Ricans. The ones in Miami identify with rich white South Americans--Venezuelans, Brazilians, etc. and will say things like "Cubans are the Jews of the Latin world" (meaning they are prosperous and value education.)

But many of the Marielitos are black or very mixed looking and they identify as Latino and identify more with Puerto Ricans and Dominicans. The white Cubans just pretend they don't exist.

If Gaetz lived in the panhandle and Nestor went to school in Hialeah outside Miami, then there's no way they were "related"

But MAGAts are dump as rocks, so.....

Matt you need cage? I get good discount for you. Say First Melania sent you. 20% off!

that cuban guy is racially white and has caucasian traits.. americans have problem accepting that some europeans do not have pale skin, especially mediterranean ones. that young guy clealy looks southern european.

R86 - what's funny is that they are the Conch Republic. In KEY WEST, formerly homo-central in Florida.

Where’s Olivia Benson?

The boy is older than they are saying. He is used as a hustler. He services.

Roger Stone married a “Cuban photographer”.

When did he change from a "helper" to a "son"?

"was completely non-sequitor "

Oh, dear!

They make a cute couple. I'm happy for them. Now matt needs to get the rest of his life together.

[quote] they 100% see themselves as much different than say Mexicans or Puerto Ricans.

Thank you, R193, that answers my question.

Gaetz is trying to defend himself against attacks that he is insensitive to black people with "person of color" who most likely wouldn't identify as such...and, more importantly, is most likely from a community (south Florida) where he would not be seen in the context Rep. Richmond spoke of.

R99, The OG "L&O" had an episode of over-age "Little Leaguers" from Honduras: "Foul Play," May, 2002.

R86: "Daddy dresses me in the best Frat Boy clothes. He says I “look good enough to eat”, whatever that means."

Take a look at the sign over Nestor's shoulder. There's only one Conch Republic Seafood Company and it's located at 631 Greene St, Key West, FL 33040

A bit further from the Panhandle than Miami, but if that's where Daddy takes you when he says "you're good enough to eat," he's not thinking about the grouper...

I have no idea what the “chain of custody” was with this boy and how Matt ended up “fathering” him, but there isn’t a chance in hell that Matt is straight. His girlfriend’s son? No. Hell no. Do not insult our intelligence like that.

He may not be actually fucking the kid, it really might just be a Big Brother Association type of situation, completely non-sexual, but Matt is GAY. Period.

There is no way that kid identifies as white, he looks like he just came out of the fruit fields in Southern California. .

It's because it him. Gaetz is an awful human being. That kid was groomed.

It's supposedly his girlfriend's BROTHER. And has been an open secret for years?

Gaetz is a piece of shit race baiter. I'm sorry for his "son."

....

Anyone claiming Matt has a girlfriend is either lying or a credulous fool.

And R207, I’ve recently learned via the Lena Hernandez (anti-Asian racist tirade homeless mental patient in Torrance, CA) affair that Mexicans (and Mexican-Americans and other Hispanics) are actually white, or “can be white”, so yeah, apparently the Cuban kid counts as white, unless someone wants to use him as a prop.

And Gaetz served as attorney in the custody hearing of Nestor, helping his "girlfriend" get custody of her brother Nestor, but now Matt has custody of him and has for years?

r207 you clearly have never been to a jornalero field, let alone to corcica, gibrartar, cadiz, malaga, etc. you are too poor for that.

[quote] Roger Stone married a “Cuban photographer”.

Wonder if there are any pictures of Matt Gaetz's "son" and Roger Stone's "grandson." Cigars all around.

R211, how could you not know that in the US Mexicans or other Hispanics are lumped with whites? The US has no racial designation for Latinos, unless they can claim to be Pacific Islanders, African-American, or are officially affiliated to a Native American tribe. Otherwise, you are told to put white on the census form.

By law, your employer can (and they usually do ) designate you as white even if the Hispanic employee decides not to identify as such in their application process.

Datalounge Detective Agency needs to get on this!

Why couldn’t his “girlfriend” take care of her minor brother?

[quote]Wonder if there are any pictures of Matt Gaetz's "son" and Roger Stone's "grandson." Cigars all around.

Hello, Boy for Sale!

This is uncle bottom's biography all the way. This puts the my neighbor Joel EST to shame.

So he's dating his "son's" sister? Am I following this correctly?

Katie Hill is getting pummeled in the comments section. She’s definitely not the brightest.

So what are the chances this “son” just happens to be good looking?

[quote]So he's dating his "son's" sister? Am I following this correctly?

No. The word from his loyalists is that he took in ("adopted") his then-girlfriend's little brother when their mother died, about 6 years ago.

This whole debacle goes to show that if you've lived your life on social media you just can't lie to people, because they've screenshot your life and they'll show the receipts.

As someone in my mid 30s who was raised before the Internet, this is just fucking terrifying. I'm glad I don't have a past online that will come back to haunt me.

I wonder what Nestor calls him: Daddy? Matt? Papi?

Does Mat have the 🐞 ladybugs?

[quote]Matt Gaetz’s Imaginary Black Son

That made me laugh when I clicked on R225's link.

So Gaetz has spent what -- 6 months or more - per year in DC since 2017 while his minor "son" lives and goes to school in Florida? Who was his caretaker when Gaetz was in DC, and before that when he traveled all around FLA on the campaign trail? This smells to high Heaven.

Matt Gaetz's district knows now.

From the Pensacola News Journal:

"My Cuban son" is Florida Republican language for undocumented houseboy.

Matt has a purdy mouth.

Has Nestor been trained in catering?

R215, I was just never made aware of it. Apart from the census, whenever I’ve filled out an intake form, I recall there being a separate box for Hispanic, but maybe that was all a dream? The persistent prejudice against Mexicans (remember Donald Trump? the President? the opening speech of his campaign?), along with the color of their skin, was another reason I just assumed they were not considered white.

I don’t mean to derail the thread, I’m just surprised to learn this, and more surprised that others would say “well, duh, of course Mexicans are considered white”, as if we’re talking about Americans of Italian heritage or something.

I bet Nestor was taken in by Matt Gaetz's parents, and Gaetz has been a big brother to him. Trotting him out as his son the day after he argues in Congress about raising a son of color is selfish and insincere. If Matt was approx 33 when Nestor came to the family as a mature-looking 12 year old, there's no way he'd feel like a father to him especially when Geatz's own father was still around. This is all bullshit and Republican spin to save face.

If Gaetz hadn't pulled so many stunts while in Congress, and hadn't been a spoiled drunk rich kid before that, MAYBE (and I say that with a ton of caution) this might be slightly believable.

Miss L will now claim those rentboys were his adopted sons.

Is Nestor from that renowned institution ‘Miss Lindsey’s Halfway House for Boys Who Wouldn’t Go All The Way’?

Can anyone find any record of his "adoption"?

Maybe this is his son through one of those Sally Struthers commercials.

My aunt gets letters from her child in Africa.

Well now we know Gaytz's dog is named Scarlett.

Does this man have a thing for orphans? Can one of you send me his contact info?

If he's Cuban, Nestor is not adopted. Per State, the only adoption from Cuba since 1999 was a girl.

According to Facebook, Nestor's mother lives in Havana. She and her husband are friends with Gaetz on Facebook.

Gaetz is not legally Nestor's father.

Gaetz says his "son" came to live with him 6 years ago, speaking no English. This is his "son" 2 years later as a Florida House page.

Funny how this black "son" pops up now with all the BLM stuff going on, smacks of a gratuitous manufactured media grab. Didn't someone say he is up for re-election? Is the "son" getting a check for all this?

A year ago, Gaetz's "son" sports a full beard.

"Well... I do call him Daddy. And he does spank me when I'm naughty."

Omg r246...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He said the kid came here 6 years ago, but his sister posted a pic of them together in 2013. Nothing is adding up here.

It will turn out Nestor cane here with his mother and she & Gaetz are “dating” and Gaetz treats him like a stepson. In which case, why aren’t they married?

Cubans are considered white by republicans because Cubans consider themselves white & vote Republican

LoL R230

If you have latino roots (i'm half latino, though white), you'll find that this type of behavior is common. Dude helps the maid's son with some money and claims to be an uncle or something. It's tokenism at its finest.

Matt is dim, so I'm not surprised he tried to pull a race card with it, Republicans are usually stupid, so no surprise there.

Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz Tells the Story of the Teen He's Been Raising Whom He Calls His 'Son'

The two-term congressman surprised many with his Thursday announcement that he’s a parent, though he hasn’t adopted 19-year-old Nestor: “Our family’s defined by love”

By Adam Carlson June 18, 2020 08:10 PM

Six years ago, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, he met the young boy he now calls his son.

Nestor Galban was 12 and had just arrived from Cuba, where he’d grown up and where his mother had recently died of breast cancer, Gaetz says. Then a state legislator, Gaetz was dating Nestor’s older sister.

And so Nestor moved in with them — “a modern family,” Gaetz says now.

He says that, except for an interruption during Nestor’s junior year after Gaetz and Nestor’s sister broke up, Nestor has basically lived with him since moving from Cuba.

“He is a part of my family story,” Gaetz, 38, tells PEOPLE, adding: “My work with Nestor, our family, no element of my public service could compare to the joy that our family has brought me.”

Geatz did not formally adopt Nestor (and he declines to discuss Nestor’s relationship with his biological family now). He re-frames the matter, saying, “Our relationship as a family is defined by our love for each other, not by any paperwork.”

Nestor, he says, “is my son in every conceivable way, and I can’t imagine loving him anymore if he was my own flesh and blood.” Recalling those early days with Nestor — including a scene he paints of the two playing catch not long after the boy arrived to the U.S. — Gaetz warns that he might start to choke up.

“I just think that It’s been the greatest thing in my life that this young man has been a part of my family,” he says, “and going forward I look forward to being his biggest cheerleader.”

This is the first time any of this story has been shared publicly.

On Thursday, Gaetz tweeted a photo of himself and Nestor, announcing that he’d been parenting the 19-year-old for year

"I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life," he wrote before biting back at a Democratic congressman he had argued with at a hearing the day before over policing and raising kids of color.

“As you can imagine, I was triggered when (to make an absurd debate point) a fellow congressman diminished the contributions of Republicans because we don’t raise non-white kids,” he wrote. “Well, I have."

The second-term Republican congressman from Fort Walton Beach had not publicly identified himself as a father before this week and his office has said that he did not have kids. His announcement drew widespread surprise and, in many left-leaning circles, much criticism. (It was also rapidly meme'd.)

Detractors said Gaetz had turned the teenager into a prop; others called it a dismissive slight-of-hand — like shrugging off accusations of prejudice by pointing to personal friendships with people of color. In a characteristic slam, one user tweeted: “Matt Gaetz using Nestor to score political points or to show he is not racist is disgusting.”

In other corners of social media, conspiratorial theories have begun tangling together about Nestor’s biography and his biological relatives.

None of that fazes Gaetz.

“I haven’t responded to it there and feel no need to respond to it now,” he says of the social media discussion about Nestor. “My son and I owe no explanation about our family to the blue-checkmark brigade.”

“I don’t really live in the minds of others,” says the lawmaker who earlier this year made headlines for wearing a gas mask on the floor of the House, in the early days of the novel coronavirus pandemic. “I live for the values and principles that matter to my constituents and that I’ve been raised with.”

He says he was motivated to speak out about Nestor because, in his view, he was being unfairly maligned after his viral argument with Democratic Rep. Cedric Richmond at a Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

Richmond had been discussing the need for police reform and the "imminent threat" of police to black men, after which Gaetz said that he "appreciate[d] your passion" but then asked Richmond if he was saying none of the other representatives had non-white kids.

Richmond snapped back that he wouldn't be "sidetracked about the color of our children ... It is about black males, black people in the streets that are getting killed. And if one of them happens to be your kid, I'm concerned about him, too. And clearly I'm more concerned about him than you are."

"Excuse me, you're claiming you're more concerned for my family than I do?" Gaetz replied, voice rising to a yell. "Who in the hell do you think you are?"

Richmond later shot back: "Was that a nerve?"

The exchange, Gaetz says now, “made me want to get up and rip his head off. … It was an outrageous comment that he made.”

For years, Gaetz says he maintained Nestor’s privacy. But that, he insists, “is very different than suggesting I was hiding him.”

“Just imagine: You’re 12 years old, your mom has just died, you’re learning English as you’re trying to get your footing in school. It just wasn’t the right time in middle school and high school to subject him to politics,” Gaetz says now.

Of the incredulous responses he’s received from users who point back to a March 2016 photo in which Gaetz refers to Nestor as a “local student” or a 2017 Facebook video Gaetz recorded for constituents with Nestor sitting in the background in which he calls Nestor his “helper” (seeming almost to catch himself on an S-sounding word first), Gaetz says: “I felt like coming to the country, dealing with the death of a mother, learning English and enduring the normal trials and tribulations of high school and middle school were enough on the young man’s plate.”

Now, however, Gaetz says that Nestor is ready to be more public: “Now that he’s 19 years old, he’s very eager to be identified as my son as publicly as people will accept it.”

He says it was known in his Florida community and among his social circle, including on Capitol Hill: “My friends know I have a son. The people who go to church with me know I have a son, my fellow soccer parents know I have a son.” (He says Nestor was his “best door-knocker” during his 2016 congressional campaign: “Nestor was very persuasive at getting people to accept Matt Gaetz yard signs.”)

On Twitter, former California Rep. Katie Hill, a Democrat, spoke out in defense of Gaetz’s revelation that he’s been secretly parenting a teenager.

"Many of you know @mattgaetz & I have an unlikely friendship. I can’t stand a lot of his beliefs but he’s been there for me when others haven’t," she wrote. "He talks about Nestor more than anything, has done so much for his son & is truly a proud dad."

Detailing the timeline, Gaetz tells PEOPLE Nestor lived with him for around four years after first arriving in Cuba before going to Miami for his junior year and living with his biological father: “Then he turned 18 it was easier for him to just move back with me.” (Gaetz declines to specify when he and Nestor's older sister broke up.)

Elsewhere in the interview, he describes the sequence of events this way: “There was a time period at the beginning of my service in Congress where, based on his age and other circumstances, it was not tenable for him to live with me."

With his own Twitter account, Nestor has been wading into the reaction online. He tweeted back at another user on Thursday: "I wanted as a secret before because I wanted to have a normal life without any of y’all getting in it. But now I’m 19 and I old enough to handle it."

Briefly speaking with PEOPLE while on the phone with Gaetz, Nestor says: “Matt is not my biological father, but he raised me as his own son when I came from Cuba after my mother’s death.”

“He’s always been a role model in my life,” Nestor says, rattling off a quick list of lessons learned: baseball, cooking, English. (“I taught him some Spanish, too.”)

Gaetz's sister, Erin, tweeted on Thursday as well. She shared family photos of Nestor through the years, including of his high school graduation earlier this year, him on Christmas Eve in 2013 and him with Gaetz and his grandmother and grandfather. (He posted the same photo on Instagram in 2018 with the caption “Grandma’s Boys.”)

In the fall, Nestor will start at Troy University in Alabama, where he plans to study nursing. The distance, Gaetz says, is “far enough away and still close enough.”

Their first parent-student visit to the campus is in three weeks. “I want to study nursing because I like helping people and I think every day being able to save people’s lives and being able to heal people and take care of them makes me happy,” Nestor says. Also: He really likes science.

“We’ve talked about the fact that college is the time in your life when you have the most free time but you can have some of the most daring consequences if you don’t manage it well,” Gaetz says.

He describes Nestor as a “star soccer player,” a jokester and a charmer — a “ham” — with a love of sports and, in his telling, a kind of amiable wryness. A teenager, in other words.

“And as I’ve talked to him throughout the day,” Gaetz says, “he’s very taken by the fact that he has a lot more followers on social media now.”

The Census has always considered white latinos a box in itself, because there are many caucasians from Latin America in the US. As for Cubans, Perez Hilton and Cameron Diaz are typical white Cubans whose parents were from the white elite that lost everything during the revolution. On a trivia note, white Brazilians actually don't even consider themselves Latino, they usually refer to all the brown Latin Americans as Latino as if there weren't, Language barrier being just one of the reasons they do that, same can be said about caucasian Cubans.

It's creepy. I feel sorry for Nestor.

I didn't think it was possible from him to be any more of a repugnant weirdo, but here we are. This one was unexpected to say the least.

for* him

“In the fall, Nestor will start at Troy University in Alabama, where he plans to study nursing.”

I smell cookies.

Does he realize that his long-winded efforts to overexplain this situation makes it look even more shady?

R245 Ok, you really don't recall seeing any young man 18, 19, etc. who can grow facial hair when you were growing up? And "full beard" is a stretch lol. I don't know why we're trying to age him up, it makes for a better scandal that he IS this young. The guy is clearly not even 20, people.

Yeah, the interview starting at R252 only adds an even-creepier vibe. "Girl, we're going to have to break it off - but leave your brown-skinned little brother at my house indefinitely, for no discernible reason except that I think he's....suggestible."

Sounds like Nestor is not... fluent. Easy prey for a wealthy congressman to influence. He even turned him into a Deplorable.

im cuban and in cuba " white" refers to skin color, whereas european refers to people who are not visually mestizos. in cuba there is no such a question on legal documents as " what is your race/ethnity?". instead they are asked "what is your skin color"?. that is to say, in cuba a light skin mestizo can be considered "white", but it doesnt mean that they are considered europeans. this young boy is european in cuba, of mediterrenean lineage. the sense of "europeanness" is basically the feeling of coming from some part of southern europe. european cubans can distinguish all sorts of mediterrenean looks and have absolutely zero problem differenciating a mixed central american cholo from a swarthy mediterrenean.,which is an ability that most anglo americans tend to lack. those are the ones who think that antonio banderas is latino. but they would as well take pavarotti, laura pausini, ramazotti, and tizziano ferro as latino too.

Lindz has the menz following him awaiting each utterance. Matt falls short.

[quote]Ok, you really don't recall seeing any young man 18, 19, etc. who can grow facial hair when you were growing up?

Hell, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood, even the girls we sporting some at like 13.

were* sporting

brown son sounds like another name for poop

I'm developing some sympathy for Gaetz, you bitches, as the story unfolds and Nestor speaks out, or rather asserts his full humanity.

Nothing about the Gaetz's changing stories makes sense. None of it. Dates don't line up so then they tweet something else to try to make it all fit and it still doesn't.

This is creepy and weird and some fluff piece in People doesn't mean anything.

[quote] Didn't someone say he is up for re-election?

All members of the House are up for re-election every two years.

[quote]I'm developing some sympathy for Gaetz, you bitches, as the story unfolds and Nestor speaks out, or rather asserts his full humanity.

He has driven drunk several times and has gotten away with it (God only knows about the times we haven't heard about). Perhaps if he ended up killing someone you love, you wouldn't be so forgiving. As it stands, despite being a shit who gets away with criminal activity (ie., DUI and never killed by the police because he knows he'll get off due to his daddy), he has the nerve to be a loudmouthed Republican and shitting on people who've never even done what he has. He's a low-life with Trump's balls in his mouth.

"Detailing the timeline, Gaetz tells PEOPLE Nestor lived with him for around four years after first arriving in Cuba before going to Miami for his junior year and living with his biological father: “Then he turned 18 it was easier for him to just move back with me.”"

Wait, so Nestor has TWO daddies? How do Gaetz's fellow Republicans feel about that?

What a joke. Even if Gaetz isn’t his “daddy” in the biblical sense, he’s just somebody who’s using an acquaintance—this kid, as a talking point. The kid has a real father—I wonder what the real dad thinks about this.

"Local student" "Page"

I can spot a lying little slut who can't stick to a Pageant Diet from miles away.

It would be more plausible if he spun himself as the "big brother" to little Nestor. Calling himself Daddy is just... wrong.

Republicans are such freaks. SHAME on People for running that fluff piece trying to make Gaetz likeable and endearing. Sickening.

I'm available to adopt. Does Cuba have any girls in stock?

Such a great story for Father's Day weekend!

As someone who has Afro Cuban ancestry on my dad’s side, y’all are spot on about Cuban racism. Some of it is from the Spaniards but a lot of it comes from US influences.

[quote] Dude helps the maid's son with some money, [bold]then fucks him[/bold], and claims to be an uncle or something. It's tokenism at its finest.

Fixed for you.

The best part of all this is that disgraced former Congresswoman Katie Hill, the bisexual threesome lover and staff harasser is the one defending him.

Like you could not make that up.

19 yo young man is in that picture? the one with the receding hairline who looks late 20s?

Well Miss Gaetz, perhaps I have underestimated you...

Come into my parlor (fanning herself rapidly)

I think we may find some "common interests" in spite of your lowly-position as a mere Congressional representative

Ok - here's my take. He had a sweetheart deal with a Cuban woman to be his beard while he was a state rep. Show up to functions, be by his side, etc. to all the local Republican functions he had to go to as a Florida State Rep.

In return, he would get her younger brother out of Cuba and set him up in the states - along with her father. Cut to late 2016 - he wins US Congress seat, doesn't need the chica anymore, contract ends, and Nestor gets sent to live with bio dad while Matt goes to Congress. He doesn't need this woman as a beard around DC as most politicians' wives don't live with them during Congress.

All of the dates match up. Prove me wrong. I should move to Cabot Cove!!

The kid has an older sister AND a bio dad, but ended up with Gaetz? That makes no sense. Are there any photos of Gaetz with this older sister? And why the hell is the kid going to school in Alabama? He can't become a nurse in Florida? Sounds like the kid is being shuttled off out of the spotlight.

Gaetz's district borders Alabama R287

And most kids go away for college.

Troy U is also the alma mater of Roy Moore's no-account son.

R286, that makes sense. But why does Nestor come back after 2016?

That PEOPLE piece was just interminable. I felt like I was reading a fuckin New Yorker article.

He's a good looking kid. Hopefully he'll be able to make better choices as he gets older.

I hear Matt gives great rimjobs.

They’ve fucked.

Matt needs to work on that tooth he’s got on the loose.

NOW a brown son? What next? A friend that's a lesbian?

[quote] NOW a brown son? What next? A friend that's a lesbian?

She's bi.

Do try to keep up!

R286 here - SO - I found a guy named Jorge Galban on Facebook who lives in Hialeah, where Nestor went to school the last 2 years of high school.

Jorge is in a relationship with...Jorge Gonzalez!

So if this is his bio father - he's gay and that may be why there's some issue with bio dad. Plus - Hialeah isn't exactly money. He may prefer having a rich white Dad in the Panhandle instead.

I think there is a resemblance - what do you guys think? He's the guy in the red hat. Look him up on Facebook - Jorge Luis Galban.

Twitter: Nestor is Cuban for designated driver.

OH, R207! This is becoming much more interesting...

R297 here - there is only one "Galban" in Hialeah with a Facebook account. And he immigrated from Havana some years ago - but again, is in a gay relationship.

It's also a bit weird why Nestor wouldn't move in with his sister during the last 2 years of high school - and went to bio dad instead in Hialeah, where he never lived.

I think R297.... that in Dade County, Florida there are probably a couple of thousand guys named Jorge Gonzalez.

Sort of like dating a David Cohen in NYC

Gaetz's chiseled jaw, strong pecs, mighty biceps, rock-hard abs.....hottest member of Congress.

R301 - but only ONE Galban - there are a lot of Galvans - but one named Galban. Rodriguez is his gay partner. And Galban is from Havana, like Nestor and appears to be in his 40's - around the age of Nestor's father.

AND, in 2016 when Gaetz supposedly broke up with his 'girlfriend' he went against Republican party policy to get Florida's gay adoption ban abolished. Maybe because Nestor's bio daddy was gay and couldn't legally adopt him with his partner. Maybe because Gaetz wanted to adopt him.

Why all of a sudden would Gaetz change his mind about gay adoption?

I do NOT think he's fucking this boy - but I think I'm on to something here.

R303, I have nothing but time on my hands so I looked Jorge Galban up, and he does have a strong resemblance to the son. The timing does fit as well.

Dr. Jack Brown thinks there's something amiss as well, R303

[quote] 9/ SUMMARY: In this image, Rep. Matt Gaetz is projecting significant affection toward Nestor Galban. Simultaneously, however, Gaetz is also feeling anxiety, mild anger, undisclosed/partially undisclosed emotions, and contemplating unshared/clandestine plans.

[quote]“Our relationship as a family is defined by our love for each other, not by any paperwork.”

Glad to hear that Gaetz (to some small degree) extends this principle to out gay couples.

R297 etc., is this LinkedIn account for the Jorge Galban you've tracked down? It seems to indicate that Jorge has been in this country for at least 38 years—went to Coral Gables High School in 1982-84. Does that mesh with the info about Nestor?

There is also a 55 year old Nestor Galban in Hialeah.

Has anyone posted his Twitter yet?

[quote]Wait, so Nestor has TWO daddies?

You just KNOW that Gaetz would've been on the front lines of the protesters demanding that those " xxx Has Two Daddies" books be removed from the libraries!

R307 - no, wrong one. I'm looking for Galbans in Hialeah only - that one is from Coral Gables. Got to look at the city where Nestor went the last 2 years of high school - which was in Hialeah.

Presumably that would be where his bio dad lives - the city where he went to high school.

And of course they go on Tucker Carlson's show to tell their story.

R307 that’s not the person on Facebook that r297 is referring to. Of course DL doesn’t allow Facebook links to profiles. His name is Jorge Luis Galban.

There is a 55 year old Nestor Galban in Hialeah. There are quite a few Galbans in Hialeah.

Here is little Nestor's youtube channel. Based on his interests, I do believe he is 19.

Ahem....

Jorge Luis Galban of Hialeah, FL

A minute of Dad & Son on Tucker.

Yes R315! - that's the one on the right. Does anyone see a resemblance? That's the gay couple.

Who knows what this guy looked like when he was younger.

Anyone see a resemblance?

Ok the sleuths of DL (me) strike again. Nestor Galban is his father... the one referenced in r314 and r308. I went to BeenVerified (the app) and looked up the son. He’s connected with the Nestor Galban above who’s 55 years old.

Good find @ 297. Probably him.

There is also a 76 year old Octavio Galban with addresses in Tallahassee and Bethesda. I wonder what the story is with this family.

Just want to add the reason I know this is that BeenVerified not only show the older Nestor as younger Nestor’s only relative, but they also shared an address in the Miami area.

You guys are good...

R321 - can you screenshot it?

I was thinking the Jorge Galban would be a closer match - as he is from Havana, although that's common as hell in Miami area.

Datalounge will solve this by tomorrow.

So one message him on Facebook and ask what the story is behind Matt “adopting” Nestor. He may be disgruntled.

So did this guy sell his kid to Matt?

R323, I don’t have an image account, but if you recommend one, I can try. In the meantime, it shows younger Nestor and older Nestor both sharing the address of 2908 39th st W Lehigh Acres, FL at one time. The older Nestor still lives there. Younger Nestor also lived at one time at 3880 NW 183rd st, Miami Acres FL., and now lives at 301 Brooks St SE, Fort Walton Beach, FL (presumably Gaetz’s address). BeenVerified sometimes isn’t accurate about the Exact dates, but this is pretty much his history.

The sad part for the brainwashed kid is he thinks this will lead to some opportunity, but he’ll always be remembered for this creepy scenario and that’s all.

R326 possible trafficking

And bingo! Matthew Lewis Gaetz II Lives at the same Fort Walton Beach address.

That tucker Carlson appearance was hilarious. This whole thing gets stranger and stranger. And it’s clear Matty boy wasn’t teaching the kid English.

He may not be related to his "son", but is Matt Gaetz related to the Osmonds?

Another excellent job by DL's investigative unit.

I swear DL is so underrated. You guys deserve more credit than given.

Other people are onto Matt and his "son"

R327 - so yes, it says on WhitePages that Nestor Juan Galban lives in Ft. Myers, but previously lived in Miami Gardens and Hialeah.

However - the kid just graduated from there - in Hialeah. Did Nestor, Sr. just move in the last 2 years?

I was hoping my gay bio dad angle would work out - but that was too juicy. Do we think that beenverified related some people unnecessarily?

I'm surprised the DM article is "not moderated", commenters are having a field day.

R334, it must have been very recent, he’s showing as living in Lehigh Acres in 2019. Usually address changes show up on BeenVerified after people change their drivers licenses, etc.

Is this like that jewelry maker to the stars and his killer boytoy?

Can we say totally set-up and scripted?

Rep. Matt Gaetz introduces adopted son on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'

So... we can surmise Nestor moved in with Gaetz after he turned 18. Makes one go hmmmm......

From Nestor's interview tonight when Tucker asked if he'd seen Gaetz and that other guy fighting in Congress:

“I did not see it because I was sleeping from my workout the night before,” Nestor replied, adding that he woke up to the tweets on the altercation and Gaetz calling him about it.

r339, yep!

The kid is a prop, pure and simple.

“Look, I have a colored son! I understand what black men go through!”

So does the kid have an OF or is he on Chaturbate?

Well Nestor Senior certainly moved on up quickly. He went from that address (3880 NW 183rd street) in Miami Gardens - which looks like it is section 8 housing.

Gaetz is either a molester or a cuck.

And then Nestor senior bought this house in Fort Myers - a 3bd, 2ba house that was bought in Sept 2019.

How do you go from Section 8 housing to that?

^That's it. Somebody is paying him something.

Ok - we're not done yet detectives. We still have to find the 'girlfriend' / brother and her info. What can you find?

PS - Wouldn't Nestor Senior be able to get his son out of Cuba without Gaetz's interference?

Hope young Nestor enjoys college in Alabama where he most certainly will not be viewed as "white."

R346 That house sold for $182K. That seems really cheap, I thought FL real estate was much pricier than that.

I knew the DL Detective Latoya Agency would be on this! This is freaking nuts!!

Why do I feel compelled to cross myself everytime I see a picture of this creep???

Gaetz is a pud.

Per The Washington Post (Feb 20, 2018), Gaetz's plan: Disrupt Congress.

[quote] “Well, the first thing is people gotta know who you are,” he says. “If you are anonymous, you are a less capable disrupter. So, Step 1: Get known.”

[quote] “In my 13 months, I’ve assessed that nothing in this town actually happens in the absence of presidential leadership, so a relationship with the president seems to be important if you want to impact outcomes.”

Reality --> “Even amongst Republican circles, Matt’s not super popular. He only won his primary by about 35 or 36 percent of the vote, and he had six Republican opponents. He just got in there, and of course now he’s trying to out-Trump Trump.”

R350 - it is relatively cheap. But kinda strange that someone who lived in the projects would get the wherewithall to move across state and suddenly purchase a 3Br home.

And his previous addresses were just as bad - shithole apartments.

Ok - so - now for the girlfriend. The court papers say that a petition was filed (Gaetz was the ATTORNEY not the Petitioner).

Maisbel Mendez was the petitioner. That's probably her name. Now - why does this say Neston Galban SR? Senior? Did she petition to get custody away from the bio dad?

Somebody needs to go to the media and report on this quick. Gaetz always sounds like loud screaming Queen every time I hear him, I've know some just like him, I'm sure everybody has.

I love this....

So, given the context this all came up in, which reporter is going to do their fucking job and ask Matt whether and when he gave his not-white immigrant "son" the talk about the danger of American police officers? Without even watching I know Tucker didn't, so let's see who steps up.

Ok - there's a Maisbel Mendez who now lives in Las Vegas, in her 30's, and lived in Fort Walton, Tallahassee and Hialeah.

She looks to have graduated college around 2010/2011. She worked as a restaurant manager around Fort Walton (Gaetz's home city) from 2011 to 2016, when she moved to Miramar Beach - still close to Ft. Walton - to work for Tommy Bahama as event director. This is when they 'broke up'.

So, to recap, Gaetz started seeing a 22 year old very pretty restaurant worker when he was 30-31. Is this a suitable coupling for a state representative or is this a beard?

C'mon DL - let's get on the case. Here's her mugshot.

It's interesting how Nestor looks Cuban in most pictures he and his friends post and yet he looks whiter-than-white when he's seen with Gaetz. Gaetz definitely uses this guy as a prop.

I don't understand how he can claim to be a father figure when the kid already has a father who he's in touch with and when Gaetz spends most of the year in DC. Maybe a big brother perhaps. Maybe a "mentor" to someone he's grooming. Has Gaetz been to Jeffrey Epstein's place in the last 10 years?

And another arrest record for Maisbel Mendez, the girlfriend.

Did he meet him in a Big Brother type program? Does he know gays don’t have to adopt anymore to become related, but can marry?

Is this the girlfriend? Wondering if this was from when he defended her despite the caption saying it was taken in the House. He's a liar, after all.

Oh... so, Mazy is in the system....

Would we really think a 22 year old restaurant worker with 2 arrests in one year would be the 'catch' that Congressman Gaetz Senior and his respectable wife would want for their adorable son Matt?

Something stinks about this too.

[quote]He just got in there, and of course now he’s trying to out-Trump Trump

Seemingly complete with his own bought whore he brought into the country via questionable means.

Wait. Is Nestor THE Joel? As in my next door neighbor’s son Joel?

Was Nestor his pool boy?

Does that make Gaetz Poo Shoes???

It's a pay-off scheme, pure and simple, and thinks no one will catch it, the arrogant bastard.

Fox News is calling him his adopted son even though Gaetz said he hasn't legally adopted the man.

and again he looks as white as Gaetz even though it's summer in Florida

I gave birth to a brown “son” this morning.

I am the one who found it. I used to lurk in 4-chan-like places and learned how to do this kind of thing back then.

I suspect Nestor Sr. has extended family in Florida. He might be the son of Octavio Galban (76) who has a home in Tallahassee and also one in Bethesda. This family probably has strange and deep government connections.

"Hey, Jim. You should see my son's ass sometime."

Sounds like girlfriend isn't getting good legal advice if she was arrested on failure to appear while out on bail (843.15.1b FLA)

On a slightly off topic point... why does this kid never look the same in any photo??

Nestor is Spanish for 'they walk around the house in their boxers, watch movies in their boxers.' Sometimes when they doze off on the couch together, little Nestor and and little Matt make an appearance. They use to pretend not to notice, but now it's kind of fun. Sometimes Matt just jumps up and decides to do the laundry, he asks Nestor for his boxers. Matt throws his boxers in the laundry too. It saves so much time.

Matt Gaetz looks like a douchey frat boy who thinks he can get away with anything. He may still meet his Waterloo.

One arrest record is from 2011 (beginning of their relationship) and one is from 2016 (end of their relationship). My mistake.

So they got Nestor in 2012/13? That moved awfully fast for a Cuba-based adoption and for a relationship. Did the boy live with them or just visit from living with his dad? Why did Maisbel have to petition against Nestor Senior and then she moved to Orlando and then Vegas?

And check out where Maisbel lived in 2016 - when she and Gaetz were supposedly still together? 696 Tyner Street. Not exactly sweet digs.

I don't think they ever lived together.

R375 - I was thinking the exact same thing. This guy looks like several different people depending on the pic.

And Gaetz's sister going in overtime posting photos of Nestor with the family - when it was Maisbel's brother.

Question - if Nestor was in Cuba with his mom, how did Maisbel get here? Nestor senior is not her dad. Did Nestor junior's mom have kids by two different fathers who both fled Cuba - one with his daughter?

This is just plain weird.

R376 Is turning this into a Latin Leche episode.

I don't trust Gaetz. He's up to something. He may be a closet case, something is not quite right about his realtionship with this kids. I saw on an earlier video post with Gaetz in his living room and Nestor was in the background. He motioned to Nestor who was within earshot and called him his "helper." You don't call your son--"your helper."

From John Fugelsang on Twitter:

For those wondering, this is my son Nestor.

I've never actually adopted him; I've referred to him in the past as a page; I've never mentioned him; never gave him my last name; once I brought a holocaust denier to the SOTU instead of him.

We share no blood but he is my life.

When even the conservatives commenting on the Daily Mail are laughing these two are boyfriends, you are not fooling anyone. Seriously, the poster above is right - there are some funny comments on the Daily Fail.

Even if all of this checks out somehow, who the fuck adopts your ex-girlfriend's brother? That's just fucking weird on its face. Let alone all the other craziness about this story.

Can you imagine breaking up with somebody and they "adopt" and live with your BROTHER?

There's way too much weirdness here.

Maisbel (May) Mendez

From Santiago Mayer on Twitter:

Can someone please explain how Matt Gaetz, a single man with 8 (EIGHT!) DUIs, was able to secretly adopt a 12-year-old immigrant from Cuba?!?

Here's Gaetz pouring it heart out about Nestor:

For those unaware. It's actually a "thing" with white conservatives to adopt brown and black. children. They just don't make a big deal about it because they feel no need to "virtue signal" like you godless liberals:

Here is Ann with her child.

May Mendez graduated with a BS in 2011, was a Catering and Sales Director from 2011 to 2014, and has been a Marketing Associate since 2015 in Panama City. Tell me why she - Nestor's college grad sister who was working full-time - did not take over care of Nestor when his mother died in Cuba in 2016? Instead, Gaetz "adopts" him?

Matt hasn't added "daddy" or Nestor to Wiki yet. You would think he would want to talk about the love of his life.

I still think Gaetz's family funded Nestor's trip to the US to help out Gaetz's girlfriend, they paid what they had to to make it "legit", the kid lived with Gaetz's parents, and now Gaetz is shamelessly using the guy as a prop. Either that, or Gaetz groomed Nestor to be a pass-around bottom for himself, Gym Jordan, and Ms Lindsey (although I doubt he tops most of the time).

Also, something tells me this wasn't Gaetz's first time in a gas mask.

R390 - they said they've had him for 6-7 years, so it would be the mother dying in 2013 or so.

Again - I think this 'girlfriend' was a paid beard in exchange for getting her brother into the US. Gaetz got rid of the girlfirend and Nestor in 2016 when he won the US seat in HOP and lived in DC. But not before he was an attorney for Maybel to get co-custody of him from his bio dad. Then he was sent to live with his bio dad.

Call me old fashioned, but it seems a tad disloyal to run off with a sisters ex.

Congress has a Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day on the fourth Thursday in April every year. Paul Ryan hosted it in 2016. Gaetz assumed office on January 3, 2017. Why didn't he take his newly "adopted son" to his first Kids Day in Congress when he's all about getting visibility? Surely he was on winter break from school.

In this 2017 bio in which the Freshman Gaetz introduces himself to the Congressional world, he never once mentions his "son", not even when replying to the question:

[quote] Q: You’re one of the youngest members on Capitol Hill. What unique perspective do you have as a result?

I think he's paid the family off for this kid.

The Blind Side + Elian Gonzalez + Family Dick + Woody & Soon-Yi + Shameless + Claws = Matt & Nestor

The same exact thing happened to me, so yes, I totally believe his story.

Was he the sperm donor?

i can't imagine him fucking a woman.

What are you talking about, r400? The kid is from Cuba.

Imagine pretending to be a journalist, with an hour long primetime show on a major news channel, having this circus act come on, and not even asking them a question. Not even, so, how'd you two meet?

This is all an attention-whore act to deflect attention from Trump's problems.

Is Marco R. the godfather?

¡Aye Carumba!

Just playing devil's advocate here BUT could this be a secret love child that he had with his childhood nanny/maid? I mean...maybe he came stumbling home from a night of doing lines and sexually harassing keg bitches. His parents were in Paris or some shit and he needed to get off. The housekeeper walks in and BAM.

[R406] no way handsome Nestor is the spawn of sub-human Gaetz. No way!

This kid was just some guy that was around the family until it was convenient to suddenly call him “my son”

Watch—in 5-6 years, Gaetz will pull a Woody Allen and marry Nestor, claiming he’s not his father because there’s no blood connection.

They already have their Halloween costumes picked out!

Why DOES this kid look different in every photo?

Which one’s the top and which one’s the bottom?

Daddie Dearest

So what I'm piecing together here is that Gaetz dated (or "dated") one Maisbel Mendez and in 2012/13 took in her little brother Nestor, whose mother had supposedly died but whose father was living in the Miami area. In 2016 Gaetz represented Maisbel in a lawsuit to get custody of Nestor, but then Nestor spent the last couple of years in high school (2018-20) living with his biological father and going to high school in Miami. Now he's moved back in with Gaetz in the panhandle, and Gaetz has announced to People Magazine, Tucker Carlson, and the world that he's Nestor's adoptive father who raised him from age 13 and that means the world to him.

Am I getting this right?

The Courtship of Nestor’s Father?

It is Father’s Day weekend, maybe he’s just edging for a card and brunch?

Oh, I forgot: early on the whole soap opera, Gaetz got Nestor a job as a Congressional page. Where does that fit in?

Do the pages still wear those short shorts and the silky banner?

R414, that's a good statement of what we know so far.

Never mind, in looking back at the links I realized that Nestor was a page when Matt was still a state representative, i.e. in Tallahassee, not in Congress.

Family is as you define it. I learned that on Queer as Folk.

Fine republican tradition. I've "adopted "many fine young men.

Poor Nestor got old.

This must be getting under Matty's skin;

Matt Gaetz@mattgaetz·1h

Busted.

I almost did call him my son here - because he is.

I stopped, though, thinking he deserved the chance to graduate HS before being subjected to the full cruelty of politics.

Nestor is a strong, caring, wonderful young man. He is ready to face the world and thrive!

Florida is a truly fucked up place

So Matt helped the gf get custody from bio dad, but then the kid went to live with bio dad? That makes zero sense.

I’d like to get to the bottom of this, right this minute!

Is he going to start an Adopt-a-Latinx program for the whole state so everyone can have one?

I guess he saw how good it went for Madden so he decided to jump on the wagon.

How Matt Gaetz Got His Groove Back

[quote]A year ago, Gaetz's "son" sports a full beard.

Good lord.

I noticed one of the photos Gaetz's sister posted was supposed to be when the kid was 13 or so, and he appeared to have a moustache. I used to teach junior high and we had one or two boys who already had that kind of facial hair, but it was rare. Those boys also already looked like full-grown adults.

But it really was only two boys out of hundreds who looked like Nestor did at that age, so it's not real likely that Nestor was just an early bloomer.

This whole story is based on a nonsensical proposition.

Who the hell knows or cares about a state rep's child? Can you name a child of a rep in your state? What exactly was Gaetz protecting this kid from?

Is this like Arnold Schwarzenegger and the son he had with his maid?

[quote]arriving in Cuba before going to Miami for his junior year and living with his biological father: “Then he turned 18 it was easier for him to just move back with me.”

That's the sticking point for me as well. Er, no pun intended there.

He helped his girlfriend get custody of Nestor when the mom died -- maybe because Nestor's dad is gay and partnered and they didn't want icky gays to have custody? But that doesn't jibe with Gaetz approving of gay adoption, as he apparently does.

Then Matt and Maisbel break up and the kid goes back to his bio father, which implies that Nestor was never really supposed to be in Matt's custody. He was in Maisbel's custody, and once Maisbel left Matt, the kid goes back to the dad.

Matt sure wants us to think he had custody of Nestor the whole time because he was helping out a family, but they all seem accomplished and doing well so there isn't really any reason why Nestor needed the help or protection. And then he decides to go back to Matt the second he turns 18.

[quote]And then he decides to go back to Matt the second he turns 18.

Bingo.

R426, if Nestor went to live with his dad after the custody hearing, it’s possible the father won. But it’s telling that when he turned 18, young Nestor moved in with Gaetz.

R434, check upthread. The gay guy cited in this thread, it turns out, isn’t Nestor’s father. That’s not to say that Nestor’s father might not be gayas well, but we haven’t seen social media stuff either way about him.

This is a fucked up story because Republicans, specifically of the Florida variety are involved, and they are all pathological liars and degenerates.

Okay, thank you R437, I'm having trouble keeping everyone straight. We need flowcharts!

If Nestor’s smart he kept a cum rag or two in the freezer.

Nestor went to live with Gay Daddy in Miami but being a social-climbing, White-wannabe, Homophobic Cuban he ran back to “wealthy” white Frat Bro Matt ASAP. Matt and him have probably never done anything but there is probably unspoken desire on closet case Matt’s part, he beats off alone to Nesty. Nestor is an opportunist.

Nestor is nowhere near Gaetz's son (adoptive, figuratively, anything), considering he's been living with his biological father hundreds of miles away.

Nestor is just a prop to bring out when needed.

Not that confusing.

Matt was probably nice to his GFs brother, thought of them as an ersatz "family" even though he was more like big brother

When Nestor turned 18, Gaetz probably offered him a job, maybe they thought he'd pay for college too. The Gaetz family is pretty well off, IIRC

In the clip where matt is at his desk doing a video and Nestor is in the background, he refers to him as the S and then says helper.

[quote]Why didn't he take his newly "adopted son" to his first Kids Day in Congress when he's all about getting visibility? Surely he was on winter break from school.

He was taking a mini-term course at the time called "Domming Your Ugly Dad: Tips for Teen Trade Tops."

[quote]In the clip where matt is at his desk doing a video and Nestor is in the background, he refers to him as the S and then says helper.

"S" = sex slave

R444, yes I saw that . He almost said this is my SOUL Mate but realized it wasn't the time or place for such a proclamation.

I hope Nestor is a user and opportunist and fucks Gaetz over big time.

Gaetz is totally the type to think being nice to your “girlfriend’s” brother is the same as being a dad, even if the real dad is in the picture. Racist mediocre white men tend to claim all kinds of credit they don’t deserve.

I applaud this young man's initiative and determination, and I deplore all those here who are trying to spin their relationship as some kind of opportunistic kinky sex thing!

On Matt's tax returns has he ever claimed Nestor as a dependant?

That ought to tell us the story, right?

This story may be Matt's undoing, the narrative that he's raised this kid as a son is so full of obvious holes when you look at the record. He would have been better advised to keep his mouth shut.

Matty's not too bright. Owning the libs for a hot minute was far more important that thinking what impact his implausible story might have.

But he can't keep his mouth shut when he's trying (and again, spectacularly failing, as with the gas mask and the cellphone in the secure briefing room and the attention seeking tantrums) to own the libs.

Unfortunately, his district in Florida is part of what's sometimes referred to "South Alabama" so presumably his constituents approve of him. And deserve what they get.

r255, re those Brazilians - they are German and of Nazi families that fled when the shit hit the fan.

Incest, pedophilia, rape. The Republicans hide in plain sight and get away with it. And don’t get me started on the glad handing and grifting.

R453 This is an element to our current toxic environment, and why the Christo-fascist movement has had some success. NOTHING lasts... the news cycle comes, the partisans bloat it up with talking point ack ack, dominate the cycle, inflame the base... and move on to the next news cycle. It's how Trump and Trumpism works... Trump will say something outrageous, a lie, double down on it, get fox pundits to support it... and then two weeks later the topics have changed completely. No accountability. Bleach, Kim, the immigrant caravan, my generals love me, any unassailable fact I oppose is fake news .... say whatever scores the current point and move ON.... Gaetz like the Dictator. Never worry that what you say will be held against you It's all drama in a TV show.

Race and social class are inseparable in most of Latin America.

The upper classes in countries with primarily mestizo or black populations--even Mexico--are invariably white, with many blue eyed blondes as Spanish or Portuguese ancestors married Americans and Europeans.

Mexico also has a large number of Spaniards (or their descendants) who fled Franco and Argentinians who fled the juntas and are all very white. Plus a sizable Jewish community too, most of whom are descended from European Jews who fled the Holocaust.

Then you have Argentina and Uruguay, where pretty much everyone is white and descended from a mix of white European ethnicities--there was sizable English, Irish and Welsh immigration to Argentina and the majority of Argentinians are of Italian, not Spanish ethnicity.

The amount of prejudice they face in the US varies tremendously. Wealthy white Cubans in Miami face very little if any, while poor indigenous Mexicans in say Kansas probably face a great deal of prejudice. If a white Latino's last name isn't identifiably Spanish, chances are good few people will figure out they are Latino--if Marco Rubio were Marc Rubio, people would probably assume he was Italian-American.

My favorite Twitter hashtag is #MattGaetzOsADrunkenTool

Damn typo! IS! #MattGaetzIsADrunkenTool

[quote]Matt was dating his sister.

Now, that I'd believe.

He voted against STOPPING human trafficking. Something tells me he's all for it.

Something "a bought" Cuban son.

Nestor looks a lot better in pics than on Tucker Carlson.

Ironic, since "Marco" is an Italian name. ("Marcos" is the Spanish equivalent.)

[quote]A friend of mine's father fled Franco.

I know most of his movies suck, but "fleeing" seems awfully extreme.

Daddy keeps the hard stuff for himself.

And, R471, like the late Generalissimo, James' career is still dead.

re: fleeing

He was a young, single, smart male and...I forgot why...something put him on the radar.

Stop smearing Matt with your gay accusations, you evil woke monsters!

Again, he thinks he is "owning the libs" but all he is actually doing is alerting the non-DL reading public that people think the adopted son thing is creepy AF

OMG! He recently tweeted that, R475!

This has all gotten to him.

What would be the perfect denouement to all this is if L Graham retweeted R475

Not Batman And Robin

JUNE 19, 2020 BLIND GOSSIP LEAVE A COMMENT

[Blind Gossip] There may be an investigation soon into an odd relationship between a notable adult man and a child.

The adult man says that the teenage boy who has been living with him is his son.

His son?

What the… ?

Dad is a single man, nearly 40, never married… and this is the first time he has ever mentioned having a child.

How did this “son” happen?

I can’t find the paperwork on this one for either adoption or fostering.

Nor is the child related to him.

Basically, there is no “legal” reason for the child to be in his home.

Mediavine Can an adult – even one who is prominent – take in a minor and simply proclaim himself the “parent” of the child?

Is this like Bruce Wayne taking in the young Dick Grayson as his ward so they can become the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin?

Probably not.

In addition, the adult man in this story has a history of alcohol abuse. And he’s a politician.

Both of those conditions seem to make a person more prone to lying.

And that’s no joke.

Mediavine We can’t say for sure that there is something nefarious going on. Perhaps everyone is on the up and up and and there is simply some paperwork glitch that is being worked out.

However, for the time being, something is odd here.

And a little creepy.

Holy moly, Caped Crusader! We need to solve this mystery! To The Batmobile!

WOW! Gaetz's twitter feed has gotten HOT! He's ;ashing out at everybody.

What the hell did he expect, R480? "Surprise! I have a son I never mentioned before except to call him a 'local student'!"

He can't be terribly bright.

Right? Favorite reply to MG's feed thus far today:

[quote]@spiderstumbled Replying to @mattgaetz

[quote]If you're 30 and you show up to work on bring your child to work day with a 19 year old that nobody has ever heard of before, there are going to be questions.

Hey Matt...if you can't stand the heat, maybe you should learn to STFU.

I see that owning the libs is working out quite nicely for Matty.

So Nestor is his ward? How utterly Dickensian!

^^^ Matt just doesn’t get it, does he?

.....

Whoever thought the best place for a 12 year old kid who didnt speak English was with a 31 year old frat boy with a drinking problem should be behind bars.

That is some fuckery.

Gaetz is a special kind of stupid. How did he think this would all be just fine and dandy — instead of the utter disaster that it is turning out to be. The whole creepy episode raises a lot of questions, the answers to which don’t reflect well on DUI Matty. What an idiot. This kind of thing is absolutely red meat for people like the DL Sleuths and a bunch of journalists who want to ferret out the inconsistencies in his tall tale and expose him for the lying, hypocritical little fucker that he is. Obviously, he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about this guy to put him in the middle of an internet firestorm. Well, this newly-minted Deplorable MAGAt is about to get quite an education.

This year's Halloween costumes for Matty and Nesty.

Matt fucks Nestor. Period.

That’s the only story

As the saying goes, R490, "there is no such thing as bad publicity". Conservative media is praising him for being so responsible and devoted. Maybe he thought this would make him look better and more mature heading into his re-election.

Just so you know, Matt....there's gonna come a day when you'll have to give Nestor back to his owners.

Or set him free upstate on a farm in the country where there is plenty of room for him to romp and play.

I think Nestor is the one fucking Matt actually.

Does Lindsey Graham have a "son" too?

Fuck you, I am NOT a bottom!

Let he who hasn’t unofficially adopted a Cuban boy half his own age cast the first stone.

I speak for the majority of the gays: we'd rather not claim Matt.

Remember in Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where a little sister showed up, and everyone acted like she'd always been there? Turned out some mystical force had created her.

The most insane part of that story is we’re supposed to believe Gaetz had a real live girlfriend.

Maybe Nestor and Falwell Jr’s Pool Boy can get together and share what they learned from their mentors.

Yeah. The “son” who is “his life” is not his son. Either he highly embellished his relationship with his ex girlfriend’s brother after making a stupid racist political point or there is something more here that he’s trying to get out in front of. We’ll see...

The heart wants what it wants.

[quote] Maybe Nestor and Falwell Jr’s Pool Boy can get together and share what they learned from their mentors.

I think Men.com has already filmed that one, R504.

That is not his son. It's easier to claim asylum if you're a child.

The age of consent in Cuba is 16, I wouldn't be surprised if Matt Gaetz (google alert), bought him a ticket, and promised him the world.

That hard back Cuban man is at least 23.

Senator Susan Collins says she is disturbed, concerned and disappointed.

She’s writing a letter this moment!

I don’t understand it. Maybe Jim Jordan can explain.

Jim Jordan can show that nice young man how to wrestle

Chile, even the Spirits can't figure this one out!

It's a vicious cycle of "Hold my beer" moments as the GOP play race to the bottom creating stories crazier than the Trump's dictatorship to try and deflect attention from Trump's many, many failures. It's exhausting and embarrassing

A sub-thread with Patricia Arquette, who seems a bit...obtuse

I bet the bedtime tuck you in/tickle fights are epiiiic!!!

R515. Yeah, but did you see Gaetz's response when Patricia Arquette compliments him?:

"Thank you. Parenting teaches you so much."

From this whole situation, it doesn't look like Gaetz has learned anything. He kept this whole thing a secret, then lied about it, then created all this commotion in this kid's life. Whoever Nestor is--he sure as hell didn't deserve all this from "his father!" Or caretaker...or "uncle." Whatever.

^^ Sugar daddy

Even the CockGobbler wasn't this messy.

^^Eventually he was. Cockgobbler was indicted on 24 counts. He should have brought to trial and thrown in jail. At the very least, he did have to pay back the money he embezzled--or "made a mistake calculating."

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, What might be right for you, may not be right for some.

The kid seems sweet. I'm sorry he's caught up in all this.

He's a grifter in on all of it.

Florida really is the toilet bowl of America because the most corrupt shit like this occurs there. Florida is also the place where Jeffrey Epstein ran an international underage sex trafficking ring and basically got away with it for years. Its too bad, there are a lot of pretty beach areas there.

Miss Thang may have other tastes.

This is off-topic, but Marco Rubio is starting to get pretty chunky. Ted Cruz too, he's now wearing those Alec Baldwin/Trumpian suits to hide his ginormous belly.

Are they all just stress eating non-stop because Trump has made them miserable?

FWIW, the women on YouBeMom, a site mostly frequented by "yoga moms" -- affluent, educated women from NYC and its suburbs--were pretty much echoing DL's thoughts on this -- super creepy, likely gay and why does he keep doubling down on this, it just makes him look like a complete freak and moron.

Next reveal: Nestor is really a 30-something psychopath who pretended to be a child in need after his "mom" suddenly - and totally not suspiciously - died.

Matt Gaetz is a pathetic man. He has no friends except for his son/buddy. His girlfriend dropped his ass years ago. His college and law degree were bought by his father and his father's political connections. Imagine being so insecure to think that the only way to get ahead in your career is to grab attention by acting out like a petulant child? Sadly, with this president, acting like a toddler works. Seems like Gaetz and pencil-dick trump junior would be good friends because they're a lot alike.

Nestor can't be Matt Gaetz's "son"...

The US State Department has recorded exactly ONE adoption from Cuba since 1999: a girl in 2000.

That Gaetz was holding Nestor out to be his "son", even to his fellow congresspeople, is fucking weird and creepy.

There has been NO ADOPTION. How is Nestor - and his sister, for that matter - living in the U.S.? Did some check-writing grease the wheels?

[quote] Adoptions by American citizens [from Cuba] are extremely rare and may ultimately be unsuccessful.

Why does Florida elect such ugly politicians?

Hmmmm

Nestor will only get hotter.

So being with Matt isn’t Nestor’s forever home?

A+ for creativity -- New on Twitter --> Matt Gaetz’s Imaginary Black Son

@jr_gaetz

Reminder: The asshole Congressman who refused to wear a mask during a pandemic (and who was working with COVID+ colleagues) was going home to a son every night.

R545, you can’t catch it from a blowjob. The son was fine, relax.

Matt Gaetz needs to provide adoption papers and/or his tax return on which he claims Nestor as a dependent. Without that, he has absolutely no credibility in this "I suddenly have a 19 year old son" situation.

This will all end in tears...and multiple DUIs.

In the same year that Gaetz was trafficking a young teen from Cuba using his father's gov't connections, he and his father were fighting against welcoming Syrian refugees into their state who were fleeing danger and oppression.

What if Nestor IS Gaetz's son by way of a hookup with an underage girl when he was19, and Nestor Galban Sr is Nestor's grandfather. You know, it really can get kinkier. This is Florida.

"In the same year that Gaetz was trafficking a young teen from Cuba using his father's gov't connections, he and his father were fighting against welcoming Syrian refugees into their state who were fleeing danger and oppression."

But Syrians aren't as fuckable as Cubans! Duh!!!!!

So, Nestor's sister is really his mother and Gaetz is the father? That would be a republican scandal. Too bad trump Jr. hadn't been around to recommend the abortion doc he had on speed dial.

[quote]Why does Florida elect such ugly politicians?

The homeliness of its politicians would seem to be the least of Florida's problems.

Mattie - not everyone in the US is as stupid and gullible as your Redneck Riviera constituents.

Nestor - ride this gravy train as long as you can. Please take copious notes every day. Then write a book with your bio dad and sister. Extra points if you get anything on audio or video tape.

r552, no, that's a "theory" someone made up. For one, his "son" looks nothing like him

[quote]For one, his "son" looks nothing like him

For which Nestor is extremely grateful.

Gaetz looks like the lovechild of Willie Geist and Colin Jost... and then he ate them.

Is Nestor a regular on Chaturbate?

r504...see, thats where his story falls apart and nobody is noticing. Gaetz was dating Nestors sister, and the mother supposedly died. That meant that Nestor had grown siblings to look after him...unless Gaetz was dating an underage girl.

I think it's wonderful that Mr. Gaetz has spent so many years researching immigrant-boy trafficking.

I'll bet he's really gotten to the bottom of the issue.

^^^^Gaetz was 31 at the time

Cute family

Matt Gaetz as thee worst pedophile/rapist/serial killer/drunk/douche frat boy mouth and smile.

Gaetz and Junior Mint both have extremely punchable faces.

I can’t wait for the Rankin/Bass television special, Nestor the Long-Dicked Cuban Houseboy!

So did someone purposely out Ansel to try to distract people away from this train wreck? Timing seems suspicious.

Seriously R566? The Venn diagram of people who know who both Matt Gaetz and Ansel Elgort are is so small as to be contained within this single thread.

Haha no, I don't think the Ansel Elgort thing has anything to do with the Matt Gaetz thing.

How did Gaetz think this would work out well for him?

Because he’s as stupid as Trump. Duh.

He is dumb, entitled, petulant and has always, always, always been bailed out by his daddy - never having to face consequences for any terrible behavior (sound familiar?). That said, I wonder if someone, somewhere caught he and Nestor in a suspicious....umm...situation? You get the point. It feels more to me that he is trying to get out in front of a big exposé. Of course, in this era of Trumpy Bear - nothing makes rational sense anymore.

I love that he's so defensive because we ALL know that if this were Swalwell, Gaetz would be trolling the FUCK out of him to get closer to Trump's shriveled-up ballsack.

This is his love child with that Latino chick. He kept him on the DL because he thought it would hurt him politically having a "Mexican" kid and it probably will...NOW. HA

Damnit, wrong link.

Also, sorry if this was posted earlier, but I ain't going through 700 posts to confirm that.

You think he knocked some lady up when he was 18 or 19 and this kid is the result?

The kid would look a lot more like Frankenstein's monster if he was related to Gaetz, I think.

R572 - Wasn't he giving up ass to some assistant evangelical pastor in Florida not too long ago? Gaetz is bi at the very least. Of course you can sleep with women (most of us did) when you are young and perpetually horny - so I could see that actually occurring in his early 20s. Who knows. Weird little sicko - that man. How does that account for the "biological" father of Nestor then? Any scam is possible I suppose.

I think Trump is certain to replace Pence with Gaetz now.

Matt gets drunk in the closet.

R181, It's the hand drape onto the chest. Straight Dad would have his hand and arm around the boy's upper arm.

R177, I once taught a "Nestor." He pronounced it " Nester." His family is Portuguese.

gapped teeth!

at least bi!

Matt Gaetz is an uglier version of Robert Chambers (Preppy Killer)

Now Matt just needs to acquire an Asian beard... I mean wife and they can live together as a happy Republican multi-racial family!

Matt Gaetz is Nestor's Agustín Magaldi. Next stop Washington DC. He wants to be a part of D C, big Dick Central.

I find it hard believe that any human being, male or female or what-have-you, could be enticed to snuggle up to this creature.

You'd be surprised, R584—power is an aphrodisiac!

So we've learned nothing new in the last 24 hours? There's got to be more to the story, get to it DL sleuths.

OH!

Why is it so difficult to believe single men can have paternal instincts, too?

Conspiracy theories swirled after Florida congressman Matt Gaetz revealed his secret ‘son’ – which reflects sexists assumptions about parenthood

Sat 20 Jun 2020 09.00 EDTLast modified on Sat 20 Jun 2020 09.59 EDT

The mystery of Matt Gaetz’s secret adult son Want to know a quick and easy way to prove to the world that you are definitely not a racist? Simply reveal the existence of your hitherto secret 19-year-old Cuban-born son.

On Thursday, Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, 38, caused something of a stir when he tweeted a selfie of himself and a young man. “[T]his is my son Nestor,” the Republican lawmaker announced. “We share no blood but he is my life. He came from Cuba (legally, of course) six years ago and lives with me in Florida. I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.”

He cares so much about Nestor, that he could never be bothered to actually adopt his little helper.

Here is my theory:

Matt and May meet in one of those post-DUI court mandated classes. He realizes she is better looking than him and a Cuban connection is useful in Florida politics. He offers his father's assistance on the legal charge in exchange for a bearding relationship.

May's mother dies in Cuba, leaving an underage half brother. Both May and the boy's father want custody. Matt assists May and the boy goes to live with her.

The bearding arrangement provides an ideal environment for the deeply closeted Matt to groom the boy.

May walks in on Matt molesting Nestor Jr. May threatens Matt and breaks up with him. Nestor Jr. says he is in love with Matt and May is ruining his life and he'll run away. Eventually all parties come to compromise. Matt will pay May and Nestor Sr. off for their silence. Nestor Jr. will live with his father until he is 18 and graduates high school. In exchange he can go back to Matt after that. Nestor Sr. and May assume Nestor will get over Matt in the time away. He doesn't.

Matt and Nestor Jr. celebrate their reunion with a romantic trip to Key West. Pictures are taken by a third party. Either Matt is approached for hush money or he learns a story is about to come out in the press. He comes out with this story as a cover.

He was sleeping from his workout the night before? Hmm. R340

Where does Carolotta Romero fit into all of this? I'm not good with puzzles.

Matt Gaetz is a stunt queen. He's done it over and over - and, as usual, he gets upset when his childish antics don't play without being questioned.

You're not smooth, you're not smart, and no one believes you Mattie. STUNT QUEEN!

Does Gaetz lick Nestor’s puckered brown asshole?

Thank you, R589, that makes perfect sense.

Gaetz is a mashup of Paul Ryan and Gary Busey.

Maybe ClosetCaseMatty's son can have a play date with Dustin Lance Black's son. They're about the same age. #daddy

You think maybe someone threatened to out them and he's trying to circumvent?

"This is his love child with that Latino chick. He kept him on the DL because he thought it would hurt him politically having a "Mexican" kid and it probably will...NOW. HA"

Funny how his "love child" doesn't look a thing like him

[quote]Nestor Jr. says he is in love with Matt

I can believe this part of the scenario in a sort of Stockholm context.

We need a part two.

R600, please post a link to Part 2.
