When West Palm Beach NBC News affiliate WPTV first noticed the Orlando terrorist’s father seated right behind Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at a campaign rally in Orlando on Tuesday, the Clinton campaign played down the report, suggesting that all kinds of people attend political events.
Team Clinton’s statement explained that the rally was an “open-door event for the public,” and that Seddique Mateen, Muslim jihadist Omar Mateen’s father, “wasn’t invited as a guest and the campaign was unaware of his attendance until after the event.”
