Not everything.
When you post a fact. Say the sun rises in the east and sets in the West.
That is a provable fact.
I post many facts into the forum.
You don’t like some of them but they are indeed facts and not opinion.

one step closer to becoming a thinking man!
For quite a few years his nephew was his babysitter.
Not sure your point.
The brother and sister just after I finished The other girl starting in about 98.
I wasn’t going to dump the kids because their mom’s flaked out.
I would call the kid I was looking after as “helper”.

My father passed when I was 2. My mother remarried when I was 6.
I was my step-father’s son whether you believe it or not
Did he call you “son” or “helper”?
LOL
He called me both and when I got around 15yrs old…well some other things
It’s funny to me, this whole thing. So many hypocrites
True.
But that is dramatically different than a teenager splitting time living with his own biological father, his own biological adult sister, and some of the time with Gaetz over a handful of years. If Gaetz stepped up and allowed this teen to crash at his house on occasion, after his mom died, then we should all applaud that. Nestor seems to be a fine young man. And it takes a village to raise a child at times. Especially a teenager.
But Gaetz claiming what he claimed, when he did, was pure political opportunism in its most vile form, as a means to shut a black man down in a hearing where he was discussing the very real issues that black children face with law enforcement in this country. What Gaetz did in this regard is very much contemptible.

You really need him to be a bad guy. I understand.

I don’t need him to be anything. He is what he is. I praise him for what he has done well, and I choose not to applaud him for what he has not.

Gaetz is a scumbag.
All political posturing.
I understand.
I understand.
Should we praise him for looking out for this kid but not applaud him because he let us know about it?

I don’t like him. He is a grandstanding fool who wore a gas mask (incorrectly) on the floor of the House to make fun of people concerned about COVID-19. He is an elitist, spoiled rich kid who had no qualms about breaking the law, because his wealthy father would swoop in and save him. He epitomizes the absolute worst of what modern politicians are today. Someone in it solely for themselves and not for their constituents. What is there to like about this guy? Do you like him?
But I believe I am also being fair in my sentiments here as well, with respect to this given issue.
He pretended to be righteously indignant, interrupting a black man on the committee who was discussing the very real threats that black children face and the discussions parents of black children have to have with their kids about law enforcement. He decided to use this teenage brother of his ex-girlfriend as the cudgel. As a prop to make a point that was in and of itself nonsensical. Nestor is not black. Gaetz does not know what it is like to raise a black child in America. He did not understand what Richmond was saying in this respect.

I praised him for helping out with this kid. That hardly means we should praise him for what he chose to do in using the kid when it best suited him politically.
