Khizr Khan Says Trump Should Have ‘Patience And Tolerance For Criticism’
According to the Associated Press, Martinez criticized Trump Monday for his attacks on the parents of a soldier killed in Iraq. “At that point, I can’t blame Mr. Trump for saying, I’m going to defend my integrity and my understanding of the Constitution”.
In what has become an nearly predictable cycle-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump makes a ridiculous, insulting comment, he is condemned by Democrats, some Republicans, the press and social media. He was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
“I find Donald Trump’s latest rhetoric disgusting, disgraceful and really reprehensible towards veterans”, Trivedi said during the conference call.
Trump responded by saying Khan “viciously attacked” him.
Khan blasted Trump last week at the Democratic National Convention in an emotional speech in which he’d claimed that had Trump been president when he and his family applied to immigrate to the USA, they would have been denied entry.
As Khan continued his speech, he addressed Trump directly, telling him, “You have sacrificed nothing and no one”.
“While our party has bestowed upon him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us”, McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former Republican presidential nominee, said in a statement. “He will say whatever he wants to”, she said.
Clinton said Sunday that Trump had been insulting a family who had sacrificed so much for their country.
Meanwhile, top Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued statements in an attempt to put a lot of distance between themselves and Trump. “Let me ask you, have you even read the United States Constitution?” he asked, shaking the pocket edition in the air.
“All of America’s fallen heroes and Gold Star parents deserve our respect and honor”, Tarkanian said in a statement when asked about Trump’s comments on the Khan family.
“She was too choked up from seeing her son’s picture”, she told Trump. The attack on the family of a soldier killed in action has not gone down well. “I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures”, he said, while also suggesting Ghazala Khan might not have been allowed to speak while she was on stage at the DNC. “That kind decency you mock as “political correctness”, it went on to say.
