Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., surprised social media users Thursday by revealing he has a Cuban son after a fiery exchange with Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., a day earlier where Gaetz accused Richmond of suggesting Republicans do not know what it’s like to worry about raising a non-white child.

“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,” Gaetz wrote on Twitter. “I am so proud of him and raising him has been the best, most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life.”

Gaetz added that Nestor had come to the U.S. when he was 12, and was now 19 and soon to head off to college.

That ceased to be an issue 30 or 40 years ago.

Americans would be shocked to know the number of white grandparents raising half black grandchildren because blacks call them “mutts” and will have nothing to do with them.

He's probably a "white Hispanic," like George Zimmerman.

The MSM-Democrats reserve the right to assign racial identities to people as suits their unending quest for more political power.

Americans who shop at Walmart wouldn’t be shocked.

Responding to a Racist attack from a Rat is more like it.

my point is it’s odd that a single guy “adopts” a young man.
You gotta problem with that?

no wife?

I've been single my entire life and active in all sports, especially softball and baseball.

On many occasions I have been asked to get involved in boys activities, specifically baseball as a coach or an assistant coach and have even been encouraged to volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters of America to help mentor fatherless kids.

But it is your comment and the inherent meaning behind it that prevents me from getting involved in the above activities. One false accusation from a disgruntled kid or his parent and my reputation and life is destroyed...............

It's not worth it..........

exactly. My walmart is full of white women who are too old to be the mother of all the black kids in her shopping cart.
