Trump would deport father of Orlando shooter
Donald Trump would deport the Afghanistan-born father of the killer responsible for the deadliest mass shooting in US history, the mogul said Wednesday.
“I’d throw him out,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity at a town hall that aired Wednesday night, referring to Hillary Clinton supporter Seddique Mateen. “If you look at him, I’d throw him out.”
Mateen, 59, was seen seated directly behind Clinton at a recent Florida rally. Later, the father of Omar Mateen told local affiliate NewsChannel 5 WPTV of West Palm Beach he wanted Clinton to beat Trump. “Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions,” the father of the killer said. Trump joked that when he saw Mateen behind Clinton, he worried Mateen was wearing one of his signature hats. “He had the red cap on. I though it was one my caps. I said no, no,” Trump told Hannity. “Make America Great Again, I don’t think so.” The Clinton campaign tried to distance itself from Mateen’s endorsement.(nypost.com)…[+]
