Hillary Clinton has a new fan. Sitting right behind the former First Lady at her rally in Kissimmee, Fla. on Monday was Seddique Mateen, the father of mass shooter Omar Mateen who slaughtered dozens of people at a gay nightclub in Orlando.

NBC 5 interviewed Mateen, who told reporters that he was a fan of Clinton's and believed she was far superior to Donald Trump.

"Hillary Clinton is good for United States versus Donald Trump, who has no solutions," Mateen said.

He also unveiled his homemade sign supporting Clinton that ironically calls for gun control.

While Mateen was remorseful about his son's actions, he holds many extremist views himself. After he learned what his son had done, he said that no one should execute gays because God will punish them.



"God will punish those involved in homosexuality," the mass shooter's father told CBS News, "not an issue that humans should deal with."

He also hosted a TV show in the past where his rhetoric was very pro-Taliban, full of anti-U.S. statements, and had tons of inflammatory rhetoric about minority groups that lived in Pakistan.

Mateen has also appeared in several Facebook videos wearing a military outfit and claiming to be the leader of a "transitional revolutionary government" for the nation of Afghanistan.

It's unclear whether or not the Clinton campaign knew he was in attendance and how he got to sit right behind the Democratic nominee.

Ironically, the press has not yet called on Clinton to disavow Mateen.
