Do you think Trump should apologize to the Khan family?
Khan and his wife Ghazala have emerged as one of the stories of this year’s presidential election after they slammed Donald Trump at last week’s Democratic National Convention.
He called Humayun Khan, a decorated soldier, a “Muslim-American war hero”.
Still, he said, he might still vote for the Republican nominee for president; such was his dislike of Hillary Clinton.
Vallone spoke of how she was on pins and needles every day until her son returned home from Afghanistan in 2010.
Saldivar’s name, as well as Torres’ parents, are on the open letter sent to Trump on Monday. Khan delivered what was arguably the most memorable speech at the Democratic National Convention last week, telling Trump, “You’ve sacrificed nothing!” and lambasting his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country. Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t endorse his recent comments about Khizr Khan, but they didn’t explicitly criticize him either. According to him, she didn’t speak because they are Muslim and that Khan hadn’t made any sacrifices at least not as many as Trump who made many by employing “thousands and thousands of people”.
McCain, whose heroism as a former prisoner of war Trump once put down, stopped short of withdrawing his endorsement of the Republican nominee, but said he could not “emphasize enough how strongly I disagree with his statement”. Here is what you need to know about this Gold Star family. “They are the very best of our country”, said Obama. Khizr Khan did strongly criticise Trump during the convention and after, and his wife has joined in since then. To me he’s a no-good, big buffoon.
Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s candidate for the White House, is drawing criticism left and right over his offensive remarks against the Muslim Pakistani parents of a slain USA soldier, with many analysts and political pundits saying the real-estate tycoon has gone too far with his belligerent and aggressive attitude this time.
“Kelly, don’t be careful”, he said, referring to U.S. Sen.
“There has to come a point at which you say, somebody who makes those kinds of statements doesn’t have the judgment, the temperament, the understanding to occupy the most powerful position in the world”, Obama said.
“That’s all I wish to convey to him”.
“The meaning of Islam is peace and love”, she said.
