Trump knocks Clinton’s proximity to father of Orlando shooter — with a disgraced ex-congressman sitting behind him

After Trump told the supporters seated behind him that they were "going to be famous" because they would appear on TV, he turned his remarks to Seddique Mateen, the father of the man identified by authorities as the mass shooter at an Orlando nightclub in June. Mateen positioned himself behind Clinton in a prime spot at a Monday campaign rally in Kissimmee, Fla. Afterward, he told a local TV station that he is supporting Clinton.

"Wasn't it terrible when the father of the animal that killed the wonderful people in Orlando was sitting with a big smile on his face right behind Hillary Clinton?" Trump asked the crowd.

Trump argued that people attending campaign rallies in such proximity to the candidate often know the candidate. To bolster his point, he turned to the area where Foley, a former Republican congressman from Florida, was seated.

"How many of you people know me? A lot of you people know me, right?" he asked. Some, including Foley, raised their hands.

"When you get those seats you sort of know the campaign," Trump continued. "So when she said. 'Well, we didn't know,' he knew, they knew." Trump said of Mateen: "Of course he likes Hillary because Hillary won't even say the words radical Islamic terrorism."

Foley told an MSNBC reporter that Trump is a longtime friend and one of his biggest contributors. Federal Election Commission records show that Trump made a handful of donations to Foley over the years.

1. So who paid Mateen to go to the rally and place himself prominently behind Hillary?

Sounds like something Roger Stone would do.

2. Donald Trump's ties to NAMBLA just got a little goose

Let's see if the media does its job and looks into his close relationship with pedophiles.
