Survivors react to father of Pulse shooter at Clinton rally in Kissimmee
Click Orlando ^ | August 10, 2016 | Nadeen Yanes

KISSIMMEE, Fla. - Pulse survivors Jacobi Ceballo and Christopher Hansen had no idea they were in the same room as the father of shooter Omar Mateen until hours after a Monday rally for Hillary Clinton ended in Kissimmee.

"I opened up my Facebook and it was the first thing I saw," Hansen said. "I was like, 'Oh!'"

But Ceballo wasn't only surprised, he was angry.

"I'm outraged," he said. "For him to come back to Orlando, where his son created devastation, was also mind-blowing. If I would have known that, I would have not come."

Ceballo attended the rally as a "plus one" guest with Hansen, who was contacted and invited by someone whom he presumed was from the Clinton campaign. Afterward, the two went backstage, met Clinton and took pictures with her, holding a sign with her new campaign message, "Standing Together."

But Ceballo is now questioning the slogan, wondering how the Clinton campaign didn't notice that Mateen's father was allowed to be in the center of the crowd behind the podium at which Clinton stood and addressed the Pulse massacre that left 49 dead and 53 others injured.

Aren't rallies monitored by the Secret Service supposed to restrict who can get that close to the candidate? I don't understand why this guy wasn't on some sort of list keeping him out. If he were on a list such as that, could hillary even been allowed to over-ride it?

hillary's team had to know he was there.

Right. We all know Clinton's campaign events are all unscripted and people can sit wherever they want without showing ID or passing any background checks. Uh-huh.

I love this one:

ry to keep this in mind; Donald Trump did not steal your money. Donald Trump did not raise your taxes. Donald Trump did not quadruple the price of food. Trump is not starting a race war. Trump did not leave any US soldiers in Benghazi to be slaughtered and desecrated by Muslims.Trump did not send the US Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaeda. Trump did not arm ISIS and systematically exterminate Christians throughout the Middle East.Trump did not betray Israel. Trump did not provide financing and technology to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Trump did not give our military secrets to China. Trump did not remove our nuclear missile shield in Poland at the behest of Russia. Trump did not shrivel our military, and betray our veterans. Trump did not cripple our economy. Trump did not increase our debt to 20 trillion dollars. Trump did not ruin our credit, twice. Trump did not double African American unemployment. Trump did not increase welfare to a record level for eight years. Trump did not sign a law making it legal to execute, and imprison Americans. Trump did not set free all of terrorists in Guantanamo bay. Trump did not steal your rights, violate US Constitutional law, or commit treason,hundreds of times. Yet Trump is being ripped apart in the news, nonstop. Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton and the criminals occupying our government, are not. The media is the Democratic Party. Save our culture. Stop listening to them..!!

Why would Hillary be in danger from terrorist? She supported them in Bengazi. She gave them weapons. She refused to send anyone to kill them.

It all smells fishier than the Van De Camp mackerel cannery.

WHAT did Hillary ever think she could gain from that.

Not just gays are pissed. I’m pissed. Anyone who cares about jihadism in America is pissed.

If even gays are going GOP, we know the Democrats are in trouble now.

I hope, even more, that Log Cabin Republicans will be born... AGAIN. No more slaves to sin.

“...holding a sign with her new campaign message, ‘Standing Together.’”

I’ve lost count. Is this ‘new’ message number 6 or 7?

You don’t get placed behind the candidate’s podium except by invite. Mateen was put there by the Hillary campaign to show contempt for the public. Plus, she’s secure in the knowledge the press won’t report it. That is an expression of her power over the press.

I’m not suggesting he was a threat to her personally. I’m saying that there must be a list of people with terrorist ties and he’d be on it, you’d think. His being there doesn’t make sense.

“Give Hillary a break. It’s tough juggling the support of gays AND the people who kill them, at the same time.”

ROFLMAO!

Planning ahead, I am sure that this chap would have not wanted to do anything to Hillary.

But that’s because she’s such a sell-out.

It all smells fishier than the Van De Camp mackerel cannery.

And given the nature of the Dem party, it cannot be said to be holy mackerel either

He’s being there makes perfect sense if you have no regard for America.

Do you not comprehend yet that these people have utter contempt for us???
