In the statement he released today, Pence makes no mention of Trump’s proposed Muslim ban but does maintain that immigration from countries that “have been compromised by terrorism” should be suspended. “And I will let others draw their own conclusions about the language used and the approach taken by Donald Trump”, Clinton said.

But the swift condemnation of Trump’s response raises questions about whether this controversy is different from the ones that came before it.
“There is no greater sacrifice than to lay down one’s life for their country, and that’s the sacrifice that Captain Humayun Khan made fighting to defend our freedom and our constitutional rights”, Ayotte said in a statement.
Both Democrats and Republicans have criticized Trump’s remarks about the Khans.
Trump has stoked outrage during his unorthodox campaign by supporting racial profiling for Muslim Americans in the wake of a deadly shooting by a U.S. born Muslim man killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando in June.
Donald Trump tried to justify his insensitivity by creating a kind of moral equivalency.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speaks to voters in Ashland, Ohio.
Koch on Sunday called such a rumor “a blood libel” as he addressed his network’s top donors at a luxury resort in Colorado.
The Muslim mother of a fallen USA soldier has said Donald Trump is ignorant about Islam and “doesn’t know” what sacrifice means.
The three-day Koch donors conference ends on Monday. And it looked like she had nothing to say. Tim Kaine (Va.), and his wife, Anne Holton. “Granite Staters will remember Ayotte’s decision to put her political party before country in November”. They are who Donald Trump actually is, and yet Kelly Ayotte continues to support putting him in the White House.
Trump hit back on Saturday, suggesting Ghazala was not permitted to speak because of her Muslim religion.
McConnell isn’t going that far.
In an interview aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week”, Trump cast doubt on why Khan’s wife did not speak.
“But I do tremble before those who would scapegoat other Americans, who would insult people because of their religion, their ethnicity, their disability, that is just not how I was raised, that is not how I was taught in my church”.
“Am I not allowed to respond?” he asked. Trump tweeted. “Hillary voted for the Iraq war, not me!” “That is moral compass and second is empathy”, Khan said. Many had speculated the criticism would spark Trump’s decline in the GOP primary race – it did not.
Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, later said in a statement: “I was very moved to see Ghazala Khan stand bravely and with dignity in support of her son on Thursday night….” “Walking onto the convention stage, with a huge picture of my son behind me, I could hardly control myself. You tell me”, Trump said, in an interview with ABC’s “This Week”. “I think that’s a message that I alone do not uniquely hold”. But unlike her rival Donald Trump, “I have a long record of public service I can point to that’s actually produced results for people”.
As Trump pushed back, first asking whether Ghazala Khan’s silence on stage was related to her faith, Khizr Khan again attacked Trump Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union”.
Khizr Khan’s son Humayun, a U.S. Army captain, was killed in 2004 by a suicide car-bomber in Iraq. “She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say”, he said.
Trump tweeted this morning that “Captain Khan, killed 12 years ago, was a hero, but this is about RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR and the weakness of our “leaders” to eradicate it!” In that job, he worked to assemble a group of nations to counter Islamic State militants.
