Well, this is something you don’t see every day …
Someone wanna check Hell and see if it’s frozen over? Maybe just a little bit chilly?
Katie Hill defended Matt Gaetz.
YES, that Katie Hill.
Take a look:
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. https://t.co/qqOx9opXzH

Also he was never “hiding” his son. He was trying to protect him from the crap that comes from being a politician’s kid, esp after what Nestor had been through, esp in this political climate. Now that Nestor is grown he’s made his own choice to enter the spotlight. Good for them.

We’re shocked.
In a good way.
In fact, we checked for her blue checkmark several times to make sure this was legit …
It’s real.
Good for you. You are an example people need to see – people can have different beliefs and still be friends, more people need to be like this. Thank you for standing up for Matt and his son, have a lot of respect for this.

Right?
Weird.
I don’t agree with Hill on well, much of anything but this is kind of heartwarming seeing the kinship. Humanity

yes exactly! I applaud him for protecting him.

And guess how the Left reacted …
Yup, they lost their minds.
People being decent to one another, the nerve!
Do you really believe that or are you taking the high road? I don’t believe Matt has ever done a good, unselfish thing in his entire life.

Sorry Katie not buying it.
Of course he wouldn’t stop talking about him if he was trying to sell the whole “he’s my son” story to all his colleagues.

Very glad you resigned

If he truly was trying to protect him "from the crap of being a political person's son" as you say, he wouldn't have thrust him into spotlight just to save face today. He would have put his welfare first instead of putting him in crosshairs / spotlight.
Lost a bit of faith in you— spensergirlFlorida (@spensergirlFLA) June 19, 2020
Imagine losing faith in someone just because they are kind to someone you politically disagree with.
We are living in exceptionally stupid and horrible times.
We don’t believe you.

Katie Hill is ok with her former colleague trotting out his adopted “son“ when it’s politically convenient for him… got it.

Just when I thought you were making a comeback. Painful to watch, again.
— U.S. Blues (@OnlineLawClinic) June 19, 2020
Bullsh*t. If that were true Gaetz wouldn't have wielded him like a weapon in order to pull one over on a black man talking seriously about black issues. He's no better than Trump.

“This political climate?” As if Gaetz is some innocent victim of it? Sorry. I’m not buying.

How quickly they turn on the people they supposedly support if they step out of line even a little bit.
But you know, it’s the Right who is intolerant and hateful and stuff.
