Jewish veterans group slams Trump over attacks on Muslim war hero’s family

Donald Trump is now the Republican Party’s official nominee for president in 2016, but that won’t stop him from blaming the last Republican president for things that go wrong in his own presidential campaign. In Trump’s defense, most of us have sacrificed nothing and no one.

As Donald Trump battles through nearly a full week of controversy and bipartisan condemnation for his attacks on Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim American soldier who died in combat, his supporters seem unperturbed.

An aide who works for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign asked GOP lawmakers on Monday to issue statements in support of the GOP nominee in the controversy over Khizr and Ghazala Khan, but none seem to have honored the request.

Khizr Khan, some would argue, started the fight when he gave an impassioned speech at the Democratic National Convention last month.

The Republican Party of Iowa did not respond to a request for comment.

Even Republicans are split on Trump’s response: 40 percent say his criticism of the Khans was “in bounds”, while 41 consider his reaction “out of bounds”. Independents are split, with 31 percent who say they’re less likely to vote for Trump, and 45 percent who say it doesn’t affect their vote.

“Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her right of speech or expression”, said Brian Duffy, VFW president.

“That’s what freedom looks like”, he said, according to Politico, “and that’s what freedom sounds like”. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States – to say nothing of entering its service.

In an interview with Al Jazeera’s Mehdi Hasan, the host of UpFront, Khizr Khan condemned the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, for failing to withdraw their endorsement of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

But when Trump boasted that a supporter had given him his Purple Heart, Keefe said he’d heard enough. “What Mr. Khan and Mr. Trump are speaking about at the DNC and arguing about via Twitter, that’s between them”, Bondi said. They served our country.

But Tarar noted that Trump has already called Humayun Khan a hero, and accused Khan and other critics of playing into “liberal media” bias over the flap.

All three used the word “disrespectful” for Trump’s feud with the Khans. He has political intentions and he has gone to every single channel on the planet since that time to start enjoying the limelight.

Naqvi said he was pressing his registered Republican friends to do the same.

She called for less shouting between proxies and more active dialogue – a discussion between the Khans and Trump.

Donald Trump has begun the first full week of the U.S. general election campaign with his strategy of saying the politically unimaginable facing its greatest test to date.

“Just a little while ago I met with the Gold Star families, six families”, Trump said at a rally in Jacksonville.
