Clinton FINALLY disavows Orlando massacre gunman's father's support as Rudy Giuliani asks:

After a long day of outrage from Republicans, Hillary Clinton's campaign finally disavowed on Tuesday night the support of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen's father, who sat behind her at a Kissimmee, Florida rally Monday and said he was a supporter.

Seddique Mateen, whose son Omar killed 49 people at Pulse nightclub on June 12, was seen grinning as he watched the Democratic presidential nominee speak from the area behind the podium usually reserved for VIPs.

The Clinton campaign had ignored requests for comment, and the Democratic presidential nominee was seen ignoring a reporter's question on the matter at a campaign stop in Miami.

Donald Trump's criticism added pressure, with the Republican nominee telling Fox News host Sean Hannity on Tuesday evening: 'She did not disavow [him]. If that were me, this would be a headline all over.'

And Rudy Giuliani, the Trump-supporting former New York City mayor, clobbered Clinton for sending signals that attracted Mateen to her banner.

'Why is he such an avid supporter? What is drawing him to Hillary Clinton?' Giuliani asked Wednesday on ABC's 'Good Morning America.'

'I believe it's her soft stance on Islamic extremist terrorism.'

Image provided at the DailyMail suggests Mateen wasn't the only attendee invited by the Clinton staging crew. There was OBVIOUS intent to diversify those seated behind Clinton to create the desired optics. See the following image at the link

I’m not so sure anymore. Honestly, I think Hillary was in bed today. Did you see her hair? Basic bed head.

Not sure she is up to basic hygiene right now.

“She probably wasn’t even aware that creep was sitting behind her.”

Maybe not, but you can bet that her security detail did - and probably her insider support.

Poor Hillary. So innocent and unknowing.
