Former Florida Rep. Mark Foley sits behind Trump at rally

Source: the hill.com

Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) on Wednesday sat behind Donald Trump at the GOP nominee's rally in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Foley resigned from his position in 2006 amid allegations that he had sent sexual emails and messages to teenage boys who had worked or were working as Congressional pages.

He was spotted by reporters Wednesday night sitting behind the GOP nominee during his event in Florida and was clearly visible in video from the event.

Any time FOX news thinks, to be sure it is an accident.

I assumed that the placement of the Orlando shooter's father was a Roger Stone dirty trick, though it hasn't broken that way, yet.

Could the Clinton camp be responding in kind, luring Foley in with a fake invitation?

Foley told the Sun-Sentinel that he liked "the energy" of Trump's campaign.

"I've been a friend of Mr. Trump's since 1987. I've admired so much of what he's done. He's a different breed of leader and a different reed of candidate," he said at the rally.

I am wondering if Foley placement was on purpose from Dons campaign as a F U to the Nambla stuff ...... almost daring the media to say something

Not to mention that guy endorsed her. She should have already denounced his support. I dont understand why she hasnt. If trump wasnt making a fool of himself every day, this would be much bigger news

Before the event it was described as an open door event for the public

" Clinton's campaign representative responded hours later, saying, "She disagrees with his views and disavows his support."

vacations. Rush doesn't take his wife, but he packs his Viagra and travels with a bunch of his like minded conservative millionaire buddies in a two week "bachelor party".

The Dominican Republic is an impoverished world hub of child prostitution.

Cry for the children.
