was taken hostage by his great grand-uncle, Lazaro González and all the Cuban American exiles who crowded around his house 24/7 for months. They started gibbering that the reason Fidel Castro was concerned, as Cuba's President, about the child of a Cuban citizen, Juan Manuel González, being held against the will of the father in the US, was because Fidel Castro was a Secret Satanist who eats children!
I'm sure you remember NewsMax, the certifiably very sick right-wing "news" outlet, rented the house next door to the George town house of the influential couple who invited Elián González, his family, and his father, Juan Manuel's attorney, Gregory Craig to dinner one evening, so they could try to photograph the entire event. They published a photo of a garden gnome placed beside an air conditioner unit on the side of the house, and claimed it was a satanic character which proved the hosts were also members of the Satanist cult!
So that odd item made the rounds repeatedly that Fidel Castro wanted Elián González in Cuba, because he probably planned to gobble him all gone, eventually! NewsMax agreed!
So, conservatives insist liberals and progressives are satanists who want to eat and traffic children, yet think it's just fine if their church youth leaders, and assorted winger preachers bugger the daylights out of real children, and their beloved idol, Donald Trump publicly expressed horny thoughts even about his own daughter when she was very young! That's A-OK with them.
Oh, yeah, who can forget the constant gibberish of needing to protect the children from Bill Clinton and his eternal search for B.J.'s. Oh, the humanity!
Thank goodness little Elián managed to get to adulthood without Fidel Castro eating him all gone!
