Father of Orlando Nightclub Shooter Omar Mateen Appears At Hillary Rally, Seated Right Behind Her
Usually the people right behind the candidate are some kind of honorees, because the campaign knows they'll be in all the tv shots.
I can't imagine that's what happened here. But who the hell knows with this crew.
He was asked if the campaign knew Mateen would be at the event and seated behind Clinton he responded, " It's a Democratic party, so everyone can join."
The campaign did not respond to WPTV's question as to whether the campaign knew Mateen would be at the rally.
Mateen was also asked if he thought his appearance would surprise some people.
"Why should they be surprised? I love the United States, and I've been living here a long time," Mateen said.
He opined that he likes Hillary because Donald Trump has "no solutions."

Of course, Omar Mateen himself was a big fan of Hillary, too.
