Khan called out Trump for his divisive religious discriminatory policiy proposals, which would have prevented their son, an Army captain who gave his life to save other soldiers in his unit – from even entering the United States of America. Vaughn also lamented what she see as insensitivity toward the families of several Americans killed in the 2012 terrorist attack on US diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya.
Khizr and Ghazala Khan were on stage at the Democratic National Convention, criticizing Trump for his vow to ban Muslims from the US and noting if the ban had been in effect their son, Humayun, “never would have been in America”. “Don’t forget, last time he said I would never get the nomination, now he’s saying I wouldn’t get the election”. But if freedom and liberty really mean something, then Trump’s fear-mongering has no place in it.
Naqvi said he was pressing his registered Republican friends to do the same.
The Military Times noted that Vaughn “accused Clinton supporters of exaggerating the comments to cover her own national security shortfalls, and what she see as an insensitive reaction to the families of Americans killed in the 2012 terrorist attacks on US embassy facilities in Libya”.
The Military Times reported about Trump’s meeting with Gold Star families, providing more details of the roughly 30-minute meeting.
The families are not organized as a group and some did not want to talk.
McCain declined to address Trump’s comments, other than to say that he stood by his record.
A top surrogate for Donald Trump admitted Wednesday she was wrong to say that President Barack Obama was responsible for Capt. Humayun Khan’s death.
Donald Trump’s harsh comments toward Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim-American soldier killed in combat, have proven to be the greatest challenge for the Republican presidential nominee who has previously been impervious to controversy. And two sources close to the Trump campaign said privately they wished Trump would apologize to the Gold Star family, even though the Khans attacked Trump from the stage at the Democratic National Convention last month. “It’s not the America I’m sure Humayun fought for”.
“He’s talking to cab drivers and elevator operators”, Pence said, slipping in a joke about Trump’s elevator rescue before Friday’s rally at UCCS.
By making a pledge to this campaign, you can show Mr. Khan he has the support he needs to run.
Now, with Khan, the parents of another son killed in Iraq are in the middle of a national storm.
Khan, a Muslim-American Army captain, was killed in a suicide auto bombing in Iraq in 2004.
Trump’s lack of regret extends to his recent claim during a rally speech that Hillary Clinton was “the devil”.

“He was always a staunch Republican because they backed the military”.
