Disgraced ex-lawmaker shows up at Trump rally, messes up attack on Clinton

Wasn’t it terrible, Donald Trump asked supporters at a Florida rally Wednesday night, that the father of the killer of 49 people in an Orlando nightclub “was sitting with a big smile on his face right behind Hillary Clinton” at a campaign event?

The attack turned into an embarrassing gaffe for Trump: Seated just behind him in the audience in Fort Lauderdale was former Rep. Mark Foley of Florida, a Republican who resigned after he was caught sending sexually explicit email messages to young male congressional pages.

“How many of you people know me?” Trump called to the crowd behind him.

Foley and others raised their hands. “A lot of you people know know me.

(end snip)

I am sure Foley is one of those angry white men who have been passed over by the economy, stifled by political correctness. /sarcasm off.
