Trump Meets With Gold Star Families Amid Khan Controversy

Eldridge issued a written statement Monday afternoon, saying: “It is truly appalling that Donald Trump would criticize the parents and family of a veteran who made the ultimate sacrifice for America”.

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.

“You have sacrificed nothing and no one”, Khizr Khan fired at the Republican nominee.

This is not the first time Rubio has criticized Trump for comments about Islam and Muslim Americans in uniform. A WBUR/MassINC poll in New Hampshire showed Clinton leading Trump, 47 percent to 32 percent.

I was very thankful to him that I thought that he was respectful to me as an individual. French Hill of Little Rock, whom Curry is challenging in the November 8 general election for his 2nd District seat, said: “I honor the service and sacrifice of Capt. Humayun Khan”.

She said she is saddened Gold Star families have been pulled into the national political debate in this way.

But you don’t need to buy one. “It is destructive and tyrannical”, Becky Lourey said.

Responding to the speech, Trump said in an interview with ABC News that he’s, “made a lot of sacrifices”.

WJLADonald Trump’s advisers reportedly have urged him to drop his politically damaging spat with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq, and focus on attacking Hillary Clinton.

“If you look at his wife, she was standing there. He will say whatever he wants to”, she said.

Donald Trump continues to suffer backlash from Democrats and Republicans following his attacks on the Khan family.

“Nobody that I’ve heard has ever said Muslims don’t serve in the military with honor”, Vrooman said.

Trump responded by suggesting that Khan’s wife, Ghazala Kahn, who stood on stage with him, was forbidden from speaking due to their Muslim faith.

Attention has also turned to Pence, who’s spoken proudly of his son, a member of the U.S. Marines. My husband stays quiet and I speak.

“I hate that they are making it about religion or beliefs”, she said.

“This story is not about Mr. Khan, who is all over the place doing interviews, but rather RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and the U.S. Get smart!” the Republican presidential nominee wrote.
