Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz wants the world to know about his large adult son,tai phim xec Nestor. And his announcement is now a Twitter copypasta.
Nestor's existence came up during a heated exchange about race and police reform between Rep. Gaetz and Rep. Cedric Richmond during a House Judiciary meeting on Thursday.
During the discussion on whether to label antifa, the decentralized political protest movement, as a terrorist organization, Richmond complained that the Republicans on the committee, who were all white, were stalling.

"You've never lived in my shoes, and you do not know what it's like to be an African American male," Richmond said. "And all I'm saying is if you are opposed to this legislation, let's just have the vote, but please do not come in this committee room and make a mockery of the pain that exists in my community."
Gaetz, who is white, asked Richmond if he was "certain that none of us have non-white children." The conversation blew up into yelling after that, and as usual, Gaetz lost his cool and made it a spectacle.
Until the meeting, Gaetz has not publicly acknowledged the fact that he has children. He followed up the meeting with a bizarre tweet on Thursday, in which he shared a selfie of his allegedly adopted son Nestor.
"We share no blood but he is my life," the representative wrote. "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, more rewarding thing I've done in my life."
