“I believe that each of us are called every day to show our deepest respect and gratitude to all of those who protect our freedom and their families”. I will gladly lend you my copy. Hillary Clinton, for her part, hears a different question: How’d you ever become so wonderful?

A week seems like an eternity in an election cycle, especially in one as eventful and incendiary as this year’s presidential contest.
Showing a characteristic refusal to back down from a fight, Trump took the nearly unthinkable step of publicly escalating a feud with the parents of fallen United States solider, Capt. Humayun Khan, who blasted Trump at last week’s Democratic convention as unfit for the presidency. A senior Senate Republican aide, who asked not to be identified, said Republican senators were pleased with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s statement on Sunday calling Captain Khan “an American hero” and noting “a travel ban on all members of a religion is simply contrary to American values”. But I knew the people of IL expected me to represent them at military funerals, and to do everything I could to support our Gold Star families. Below, we answer those, and more.
In a defensive crouch, Donald Trump complained Monday about being “viciously attacked” by the father of a decorated Muslim Army captain killed in Iraq, persisting in an emotionally charged feud that has left him increasingly isolated among fellow Republicans. He was awarded the Bronze Star posthumously.
Trump has since said Khizr Khan had “no right” to criticize him and speculated that the soldier’s mother, who also appeared onstage at the Democratic Convention, was not “allowed” to speak. The Khan family are American citizens, and also Muslim. Neither did a spokesman for former Gov. Rick Perry, an enthusiastic Trump backer who served in the U.S. Air Force. If it was up to Trump, the Khans would still be in the United Arab Emirates. There, Humayun was born in 1976. Ms. Clinton acknowledged deep-seated problems troubling many Americans – inequality and slowing social mobility, gridlock in Washington, national security threats – but her answer to them is neither the “political revolution” touted by her primary opponent, Sen.
“This is the first thing I’ve seen in 23 years that’s just fuelled this incredible acceleration”, he told AFP by telephone. Also according to his website, he works with immigration and worldwide business law and founded a pro bono project to provide legal services for the families of men and women serving in the military. As of Tuesday morning, it was No. 2 on the list.
The document leaped onto Amazon’s bestseller list after Mr. Khan’s speech.
“We were proud of the impressive speech he gave, but not surprised at its power”, she said, “given what we know of his character”. He didn’t mention Trump by name but implicitly rebuked him for criticizing the Khan family.
“I could hardly control myself”.
Trump responded in an interview with ABC’s “This Week”, saying: “She had nothing to say”.
“Probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say”. “She had nothing to say”.
A leading Republican state lawmaker and Iraq War veteran said Wednesday that he isn’t ready to support his party’s presidential nominee, Donald Trump, and chastised Trump for his harshly critical exchange with the family of a fallen US soldier who was Muslim. Trump said Monday on Twitter. It was because she was still grieving her son. “I actually saw her standing there as a kind of strength”.
“Who wrote that? Did Hilary’s scriptwriters write it?”
“We do have it in stock”, said Zuckerman. If that’s the case, detailed policy proposals and testimonials to Ms. Clinton’s experience and doggedness will just bounce off many voters.
I am appalled that Donald Trump would disparage (the Khans) and that he had the gall to compare his own sacrifices to those of a Gold Star family. Sen. I can not relate to these people who are supposed to be running our country, to be inspiring respect for our country.
“I challenge the nominee to set the example for what our country can and should represent”, McCain said.

“We feel we must speak out and demand you apologise to the Khans, to all Gold Star families, and to all Americans for your offensive, and frankly anti-American, comments”, they wrote.
