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.

How can you compare the father of a killer et and pedophile? One is worse than the other!

[SubMareener]

Oh Noes! TID! Trump is done!

And yet CNN has no problem showing Barney Frank, who had an “affair” with a 16 year old Congressional page.

CNN it doesn’t matter it will never make the Drudge Report.

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

He was disgraced (as he should have been and always will be) in 2006. In 2016, under the current administration; he would not have resigned!

If Donald Trump had rejected Mark Foley from a place of prominence, he would be excoriated as a homophobe. I reject any stories from the Clinton News Network as propaganda.

The difference is Hillary is soft on radical Islam and wants more Muslim immigration and Syrian refugees in the country.

Every day it's another nothing-burger from the media about Donald Trump.

No matter how many times you add zero to zero, you still get zero.

[Jack Hammer]

The MSM is attempting to equate a hapless pedophile to the encouraging father of a murderer.

And it might work if half the democrat constituency didn’t believe in the legalization of pedophilia.

She forhets her husband is a disgraced ex president.

[nclaurel]

CNN doesn’t mind the sicko husband of Hillary’s lover Huma, the notorious Carlos Danger aka Weiner either.

How is it...you are just a Hillary mole

How long have you been underground here...Hiding in the dirt?

Good gosh....that's the devious act..now isn't it?

[samantha]

He was my congressman,and was a good one. There was a lot more to the story than most people are aware. Look who was the democrat in charge of the Dccc at the time. He has been in a long term relationship with a physician the last I heard.

Isn’t that legal now?

[Old Yeller]

When I read the headline, I thought it was going to be Boehner.

[Baldwin77]

But “they” have no problem with a pathological liar who compromised our National Security being president?

[Baldwin77]

Funny how CNN has no comment section to their “stories”.

Actually....CNN is losing viewers by the thousands!!! Meanwhile the Trump campaign rallies this week will excede between 100,000-125,000 attendees!!! Hillary Clinton will be lucky to reach 5,000-7000 attendess for the entire week, many of them paid staffers, high school kids (non-voters), & paid attendees!!!

Mike Pence, the Trump VP choice, easily outdoes HRC with 6,000-10,000 attendees at his rallies, alone. As for the HRC VP choice, Tim Kaine......Mr. Kaine is no where to be found. It’s like he disappeared form the face of the earth!!!

CNN says this "gaffe" (I think it was done on purpose, and so does CNN) illustrates how sloppy the Trump campaign is, to allow such a person to sit in camera view. Any time a person points out the difference in offense, CNN hosts and Hillary surrogates object, saying Foley is a pedophile, and this is about the campaigns, neither campaign should allow a controversial person to appear in camera view.

As for being called a pedophile or even alleged pedophile, Foley may have a defamation claim.
