Yesterday Univision interviewed a man who claims to have hooked-up with the Orlando killer more than a dozen times. Wearing a heavy disguise that included a wig and what appears to be facial prosthetics, the man declared that the killer was obsessed with Latino men and that the massacre wasn’t Islamic terrorism, it was revenge against Latino men for having treated him badly. From Univision’s story:
Omar Mateen, the Muslim gunman who committed the Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, was “100 percent” gay and bore a grudge against Latino men because he felt used by them, according to a man who says he was his lover for two months.
“I’ve cried like you have no idea. But the thing that makes me want to tell the truth is that he didn’t do it for terrorism. In my opinion he did it for revenge,” he told Univision Noticias anchor Maria Elena Salinas in an exclusive interview in English and Spanish on Tuesday.
He said Mateen was angry and upset after a man he had sex with later revealed he was infected with the HIV virus.
Asked why he decided to come forward with his story, he said: “It’s my responsibility as a citizen of the United States and a gay man.”
The man said he had approached the FBI and been interviewed three times in person by agents.
Univision was unable to independently verify his account. The FBI confirmed to Univision that it had met with him.
The man claims to have had sex with the killer 15-20 times yet never knew his name. There’s much more at the link. Univision’s report has been picked up by Fox News, CBS, and other major outlets despite there being no evidence to support the man’s claims. See the full video interview at the link.
