ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) - The latest ad encouraging voters to pick Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump comes from the mother of one of the people who died in the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.
The digital ad released Wednesday by the gay rights group Human Rights Campaign features Christine Leinonen, the mother of Christopher Leinonen, who was one of the 49 Pulse patrons killed during the massacre.
In the ad, Leinonen says, "We have to continue to moving forward as an inclusive society." She goes on to say, "If you love a gay person, if you know someone who's gay, and you truly love them, I don't know how you could justify a vote for Donald Trump."
The Pulse shooting was the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.
