Why was the Taliban-supporting father of Orlando nightclub gunman Omar Mateen standing right behind Hillary Clinton at her campaign rally the other night?
Yes, that was Seddique Mateen smiling and holding a pro-Clinton sign just a few feet from the Democratic nominee as she spoke to a crowd in Kissimmee, Fla., on Monday.

Slowly reaching the MSM.
He was planted there to bait Trump.
The MSM will support Hillary no matter what. Bait for Trump I suspect.
I read that the event was open to the public and that he wasn’t invited.
And I read that anybody can get a seat behind Hillary, it’s easy.
They support her because under a Clinton presidency Islam will expand unfettered.
Let's all imagine Tim McVeigh's dad like this at a Trump rally...and the MSM being fine with it.
When will she repudiate Mateen?
I’ve heard that, but I think in this case if he was “bait,” it will backfire. I’m pretty certain Americans not in the media already find Hillary’s campaign completely weird. Having this dude prominent in her crowd is weird times ten.
You never go full weird, but I think they have.
there are no Clinton optic mistakes.
huma and jarret put him there to solicit MONEY.
Regarding the story today about the father of the Orlando terrorist and Hillary.
Rush just brought up a good point:
What if the Democrats with the willing media planted this story in order to bait Trump into responding?
No matter what Trump should ignore this story, and stay on message, because the media will again paint him as anti-Muslim, which I agree with Rush about that the actual result would then be what the Democrats want from Trump.
Inserting some logic here. If this creep wasn’t on an anti-terrorist list to keep him out of the hillary rally, how can we be sure that attendance at Trump’s rallies is scrutinized adequately? I thought the Secret Service was in charge of security, not just the candidate.
At first I opposed Trump — but not now! Look what Hillary is doing? Is she so arrogant that she thinks she can do anything and still win? Hopefully, we’ll see.
Maybe they won’t bait Trump, but they baited me. It makes me want to support Trump more. And all the hysteria over Trump striking back at that Goldstar father? I thought Trump has the right to defend himself and I thought Trumps remarks were very insightful?
Agreed. Donald should just focus on things such as the speech he gave in Detroit. It is good though that it seems to be talked about in Breibart, Drudge, and even regular media outlets without him having to take an immediate stab at it.
The Clinton information appaRATchik is saying that they didn’t invite Seddique Mateen to the Kissimmee, Fl. rally. However, Mateen says he received the same invitation all of the Democrats, like himself received, to attend the rally. He just wasn’t specifically invited. He just walked into the rally with all the other Democrats and found seating just in back of der Hildebeast. I think Mateen should play a couple rounds of the lottery.
You don’t just wander up onto the stage on your own and sit down a few feet away from Hillary. You’d never get past the Secret Service. You have to be invited to be there, you have to be cleared with security, and you are told exactly where to sit. Given his background, it’s safe to assume the Secret Service objected to him being in such close proximity to Hillary, but was overruled by Hillary’s team.
Also, weren't he and his daughter-in-law reported to have disappeared?
