It was not clear what prompted the tweet. Few members actually mentioned Trump by name.

Another Republican senator is taking Donald Trump to task for berating the parents of a decorated Army captain killed in Iraq.
Rep. Mike Coffman, a vulnerable Republican in a competitive Colorado district, said he was “deeply offended when Donald Trump fails to honour the sacrifices of all of our fearless soldiers who were lost in that war”.
“I mean, is there no limit to which this guy will descend?”
Rob Wasinger, a onetime congressional candidate who has been working for the Trump camp on congressional outreach, sent an email to senior Senate aides saying, “We want to get several member statements out today on this, and would really appreciate your help”. “If I become President, I will make America safe again”, Trump said following Khizr Khan’s plea for Americans to vote for Clinton at the convention in Philadelphia last week.
Trump responded in an interview with ABC’s “This Week”, saying: “She had nothing to say”.
He continued: “Capt. Kahn is an American hero”.
Senator Lindsey Graham had viewed: “This is going to a place where we’ve never gone before, to push back against the families of the fallen”.
Three House Democrats who served in the military – Reps.
In the column, Nehlen said Khizr Khan, the father of Captain Humayun Khan, “politicized his heroic son’s death” at the Democratic National Convention, and attacked Ryan for the stance he took afterward.
Kaine said GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s views on religious freedom, the economy and foreign policy were unsafe.
He added that he would be “delighted” to meet Trump between now and the election.
In fact, Khan said, he keeps a stack of pocket-sized Constitutions at his home to give to guests and to strike up conversation. Trump said Monday on Twitter. The grieving father also had a pointed message for the Republican presidential nominee. Trump was then asked about his own daughter. “I’ve seen the sacrifices that our troops made”.
It is time for Donald Trump to set the example for our country and the future of the Republican Party. None, however, has withdrawn an endorsement of Trump.
Prominent Republicans spoke out Monday against Trump.
At last week’s convention, Khizr Khan criticized Trump for proposing to freeze the entry of foreign Muslims into the US and accused him of making no sacrifices for his country. She said she did so after seeing so much “hurt and anger” among Gold Star families on social media.
The newspaper had maintained: “The Trump University story was perhaps more damaging to Trump than most of his other big scandals because it suggested Trump taking advantage of the little guy, of ordinary Americans”. Later that day, he said former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders “made a deal with the devil” when he agreed to back Clinton. Around the same time, he also launched the Trump Institute. He did not say at the rally how successful that effort was in July.
Buffet, a famed investor and one of the wealthiest people in America, endorsed Clinton previous year.
“Heading into November, our party must have a laser focus on the issues that will defeat Hillary Clinton. If he’s condemned what Trump has done, then certainly he deserves to be in that group of candidates that John McCain was talking about”, Dittmar said.
His counterpart on the House Armed Services Committee, Representative Mac Thornberry of Texas, echoed McCain, saying in a statement he was “dismayed at the attacks Khizr and Ghazala Khan have endured after they spoke about their son’s service and sacrifice”.
President Barack Obama is headlining his first fundraiser for Hillary Clinton.
“A lot of people have said that”. “She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say”.
Co-hosts of Monday’s event contributed at least $66,800; co-chairs paid a minimum of $100,000.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida says Trump’s criticism is “unfortunate”.
Ryan said in a statement Sunday that “America’s greatness is built on the principles of liberty and preserved by the men and women who wear the uniform to defend it”. “Their son died for the Constitution and I honor that”.
Trump broke a political and societal taboo over the weekend when he criticized Khizr and Ghazala Khan.
“It is Mr. Trump who is making unification of the party hard”, Sanford said. Here is what you need to know about this Gold Star family.

Some of America’s Gold Star families, or those who lost loved ones in war, have demanded that Trump apologize. “No one has given more to our freedom and our security than our Gold Star families”.
