Disgraced ex-congressman sits behind Trump at rally
CNN ^ | 10-08-2016

Posted on 08/11/2016 3:31:04 AM PDT by ToxicMich

Donald Trump on Wednesday again slammed Hillary Clinton and her campaign for allowing the father of Orlando shooter Omar Mateen to sit in the stands behind her at a recent rally.

But sitting behind Trump was ex-congressman Mark Foley, who resigned in disgrace in 2006 after sending sexually explicit messages to underage teenage boys.

Note how CNN doesn’t have a comment section after their articles...

Why was he there though, days after Hillarys gaffe?

Michael Savage has spoken of fears Trumps campaign is being sabotaged - at very least this was extremely sloppy. Maybe he just slipped through the net but its a bit odd.

Disgraced?? If he were a Democrat, he’d be a hero.

Notice the provocative title?

Compare Foley’s actions to democrat congressman Gerry Studds of Massachusetts who actually took a boy to a hotel and raped him. Studds was given a standing ovation by democrats (and CNN) for being the first openly homosexual congressman.

I am going to enjoy watching CNN lose their FCC broadcast license when Trump becomes president.

“If he were a Democrat, he’d be a hero.”

No way he’d be a hero. There was never any contact.
All he did was text some pages.
He didn’t even send a Wiener.

Mr. Kaine is no where to be found. It’s like he disappeared form the face of the earth!!!

The other day Kaine said that being Clinton’s VP pick was like being “kidnapped.” I’m guessing that he’s locked in her basement, and that she is expecting 0bama to send her $100 MILLION in small, unmarked bills in numerous different currencies, for his release.

If Foley was a democrat at a Hillary rally, CNN would have called him a distinguished former congressman.

I may be wrong, but the FCC does not license cable shows.

Their role is/was over the airway broadcast

Now de-funding PBS is something that can be done.

I knew the media would make a story of it because I follow Trump’s press corp on Twitter during Trump’s rallies. Doing so allows you to see what the headline will be from each rally before it hits the headlines. Very little, almost zero talk, of the cool boards that Trump pulled out. The talk was about Foley. Of course Foley is a moron who then pronounces to the media that he and Trump are friends for many years and Trump is one of his greatest contributors (whatever that means). Anyway, we’ll see if they harp on this or not. Hopefully they’ll move on.

CNN seems to imply that homosexuals are worse than terrorists. Seems a little overwrought.

At a Dem function Foley would get a call out and special recognition as a great libitard. At a Trump function Foley is the devil.
Hell, I bet most of the CNN talking heads prefer little boys, or maybe dead bodies.

And ran a gay prostitution ring out of his basement, IIRC. What about Hillary’s girlfriend’s husband?

Still, why does Trump keep doing and saying stupid crap? Does he really wanto win?

Saw a Hillary ad last night during the Olympics showing him on some late night talk show and the host asking about his clothing line being made in Bangladesh and China.

I haven’t seen any Trump ads.

Not everyone thinks it’s zero. And it is just more headlines against Trump instead of against Hillary.

This administration would have likely praised him for having the courage to admit he was ‘diverse’. Or perhaps not as after all he is a Republican. The crew would certainly NOT have called for his head...meaning cranium.
