Khan’s son, Humayun Khan, was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004, criticized Trump for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the US if he is elected president.

“To all our Muslim American brothers and sisters: This is your country, too”, Clinton said.
During the Vietnam War, John McCain, now the senior senator from Arizona, served more than five years in Hanoi as a prisoner of war. Northern Virginia native Douglas J. Green was 23.
In an interview previous year, he said he could not recall which heel it was.
“There is no doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is unqualified to be president and unfit to be commander-in-chief”, she said.
A Democratic activist is raising money in an attempt to convince Khizr Khan to run for the Virginia House of Delegates. Keefe hopes to reach $20,000 by Monday.
He acknowledges that while he disagrees with Clinton on a number of issues, he will be voting for the Democratic candidate.
Who knows? Perhaps this was the Democrats’ motivation for having the Khans appear in the first place. In an email late Wednesday, he declined comment, saying only, “We are grateful for the pouring of love, support and respect”.
A fundraising page entitled “Yes we Khan” is attempting to provide funds for the Muslim father of a U.S. fallen soldier to run for office in Virginia. Robert Bell, R-Albemarle, is running for the GOP nomination for attorney general.
Criticizing the Khans, Martinez said, is “absolutely wrong”.
Bell and the state GOP declined comment. The CEO is Steve Hilton, a former aide to former British Prime Minister David Cameron. The San Francisco start-up does not recruit candidates.
“I was there and I was just amazed”, Khan said.
But he tells The Associated Press that he’s not rescinding his support for Trump because he says Democrat Hillary Clinton would be worse.
Cotton told KHOG-TV, Channel 29, that “Donald Trump should be focused on what’s going to keep this country safe, and having a back and forth with the Kahn family is not going to keep this country safe”. May we ask how many Muslims Khan’s mystery Constitution requires – or is that out of bounds unless we had a child who died in Iraq?
“You have sacrificed nothing and no one”, Khizr Khan said. “You have sacrificed nothing”. Trump responded, saying he was “viciously attacked” and questioning whether Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, was forbidden to speak at the convention because of her religion.
Trump’s remarks sparked outrage from observers in both parties.
Veterans groups and several prominent Republican leaders have pushed Trump to apologize for the public fight with Khan, but Vaughn said she did not think any such move is needed.
Buffett has endorsed Clinton and has spoken at one of her rallies. One of their sons is a Marine and Naval Academy graduate.

Then, Trump said, “While I feel deeply for the loss of his son, Mr. Khan, who has never met me, has no right to stand in front of millions of people and claim I have never read the Constitution (which is false) and say many other inaccurate things”, and that Khan’s wife “had nothing to say” while she stood at her husband’s side during the speech. Buffett is also calling Trump out on his refusal to release his tax returns, questioning what he’s trying to hide from his supporters and accusing him of deceiving his supporters over his business record. Khan posthumously received the Bronze Star Medal and the Purple Heart for his service. And I’m just not quite there yet.
