Disgraced Former Congressman Mark Foley Seen on Stage at Trump Rally

Former Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) on Wednesday sat behind Donald Trump at the GOP nominee's rally in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Foley resigned from his position in 2006 amid allegations that he had sent sexual emails and messages to teenage boys who had worked or were working as Congressional pages.

He was spotted by reporters Wednesday night sitting behind the GOP nominee during his event in Florida and was clearly visible in video from the event.

Donald Trump said Wednesday night that it was "terrible" for the father of the Orlando mass shooter to appear behind Hillary Clinton during a rally this week, and he accused her campaign of knowing that he would show up there.

But Trump, who spoke at a rally in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., drew his own scrutiny over a recognizable figure who was seated behind him: former congressman Mark Foley, who resigned in 2006 following reports that he had sent sexually explicit Internet messages to at least one underage male former page.
