Trump has been attacked by both Democrats and Republicans for his repeated criticism of Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim U.S. Army captain who was killed in Iraq. You tell me,”Trump said to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos”.
“Have you no decency, man?” is the question on everyone’s mind this week. “Service to our country is above politics”. The celebrity billionaire also declared that Khan had no right to challenge Trump.
On Monday, he tweeted that “Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same”.
Instead, Mr Trump appeared to be caught on Sunday in one of the biggest crises of his campaign.
Veterans of Foreign Wars, the largest U.S. war veterans group, heaped scorn on Trump’s “out of bounds” criticism of a fallen soldier’s mother.
In a letter published Monday on VoteVets.org, a group of 11 “Gold Star” families wrote, “Your recent comments regarding the khan family were repugnant and personally offensive to us”.

Gov. Greg Abbott is coming to the defense of a fallen Muslim soldier’s family, which has been under attack from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. “He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service”, McCain wrote.
