Sources: Broward Millenial “Leader” Sat Ex-Congressman Mark Foley Behind Donald Trump

Multiple sources tell REDBROWARD a local millenial “leader” was responsible for seating disgraced ex-Congressman Mark Foley behind the podium at Wednesday’s Donald Trump rally in Sunrise, Florida. Sources say Lauren Cooley, a 24 year old musician, controlled the seating arrangements in the section behind Donald Trump. Foley’s presence at the rally was used by the liberal media to blunt Trump’s criticism of Hillary Clinton allowing the father of the Pulse nightclub terrorist to sit behind her at a recent Orlando rally.

In 2006, Mark Foley was forced to resign from office after it was revealed he sent sexually charged messages to underage congressional pages. At the time Foley said, “I am deeply sorry and I apologize for letting down my family and the people of Florida I have had the privilege to represent.” The Foley scandal helped Democrats retake control of Congress in 2006.

Of course, Cooley may not have been aware of this since she was just 14 years old at the time.

Sources say Cooley was very “hands on” in the seating process. She even threatened to have security remove people who did not belong in her section. Who gave this local musician such authority?

Some Republican insiders believe it was local Trump campaign official Dolly Rump and her husband Mike Rump. Both Rumps supported Cooley’s failed bid to become Broward Republican chair. (REDBROWARD revealed Cooley was more interested in self-promotion and selfies than electing Broward Republicans.) Mike Rump was spotted in the stands on Wednesday, haphazardly handing out wristbands to the VIP section in front of the podium.

Other insiders theorize Sharon Day, the RNC Co-Chair, empowered Cooley. Day, a big supporter of Charlie Crist and Jeb Bush, helped Cooley attend the RNC convention in Cleveland. In a Twitter post, Cooley thanked Day for giving her a pass to attend the festivities.

This whole mess shows the danger of using inexperienced millenials for the sake of looking good or inclusive. Many experienced volunteers would have gladly helped make sure Donald Trump avoided another manufactured mainstream media controversy.

This reporter spotted Foley at 6pm and tweeted about him not belonging there. Guess Lauren Cooley was too busy barking orders or taking selfies.

Broward Democrat Leader Cynthia Busch Does Not Apologize For Palestine-Gate

“I was invited to attend an event by the Muslim Democratic Caucus I was asked to sit at a table in the front. The sign facing me said Kuwait. I understand why some are offended but I was not aware until someone shared this picture with me after the event. There were country signs at all the tables-one said Israel.”–Cynthia Busch, via Facebook

Broward Democrat Party Chairperson Cynthia Busch took to Facebook to offer a tepid explanation for sitting at the “Palestine” table at a recent Muslim American Democratic Caucus dinner. Several prominent members of the Broward Democrat Party were upset after reading about the Muslim Heritage Celebration Dinner in Lauderhill. The dinner, which honored State Senator Dwight Bullard, was the latest example of Broward Democrat leaders pandering to local Muslim groups.

Sharon Baron, editor of Tamarac Talk, took Busch to task. While stating she did not believe Busch knew where she was sitting, Baron wrote, “but this ‘country’ does not exist amidst the other recognized countries at the event. We have too many Jewish Dems that too probably find this offensive.”

Hal Tannenbaum wrote, “I would have walked out if I saw a table labeled Palestine and I would have audibly stated WHY!”

Beth Lerner wrote, ” I have to think about Muslim countries like Dubai or Quatar-put me at one of those tables and I’d bolt. They are corrupt, hold Indians hostage and as slaves after bringing them over for work. Take their passports. What is a good Muslim country that treats women and LGBT people as equals?”

Influential Weston Democrat Ann Zucker responded with “The issue here has nothing to do with head scarves. It is a Democratic organization with a table named Palestine and the FDP not reprimanding them for it. Focus.”

Despite these comments from her rank-and-file, Busch failed to apologize. She said she “understand[s] why some are offended.” She claims the reverse side of the “Palestine” card was labeled as “Kuwait.”

However, REDBROWARD obtained photographs of other table cards from the dinner. These cards appear to be blank on one side. The photographs show Busch was not simply “invited” to attend the dinner. Busch can been seen on stage handing a microphone to Ghazala Salam, a local Muslim activist. Former Democrat Party Chair Mitch Ceasar also spoke at the event. It’s unclear what country he was occupying. We were unable to find any photographs of the “Israel” table.

Will Palestine-gate come up at tonight’s Party meeting in Plantation? Will Busch apologize? Stay tuned.
