Omar Mateen, the Muslim terrorist who massacred 49 people in an Orlando, Fla. night club earlier this month, was a supporter of presumed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to a man who attempted to inform the Federal Bureau of Investigation about Mateen’s radicalization.
The man who informed the FBI about Mateen’s foray into the radical fringes of Islam, Mohammed A. Malik, explained his relationship with Mateen in a profound and thoughtful, 1,532-word op-ed in The Washington Post on Monday.
Malik met Mateen at a post-sunset meal during Ramadan in 2006, he wrote. (Mateen, a quiet loner, “broke his Ramadan fast with a protein shake.”)
“Omar and I continued to have infrequent conversations over the next few years,” Malik said. “I last saw him at a dinner at his father’s house in January. We talked about the presidential election and debated our views of the candidates that were running — he liked Hillary Clinton and I liked Bernie Sanders. This banter continued through texts and phone calls for several months.”
