Some right-wing media groups - including Breitbart, that bastion of on very rare occasions accurate reporting - are now trying to paint Mr. Khan as a terrorist sympathizer and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
What the heck is the matter with these people??? His son DIED defending our country - he's given us his son, what more can they extract from him? Instead of seeing grieving parents, these morons see another opportunity to attack Muslims and defend Trump by making stuff up.
At a Pence rally tonight in Nevada, a woman whose son is currently serving in the military was booed because she questioned Trump's reaction to the Khans. A military mom shamed because she had the audacity to question what Trump thought about something that might affect her son. How sick is that?
I can't imagine how much that reaction must have hurt her - her son was deployed and in harm's way, and these idiots were booing her for expressing her opinion. I can't even begin to imagine how the Khan's must feel, losing their son and being attacked by a Presidential candidate and his minions simply because they expressed an opinion they were entitled to express.
If none of this makes you concerned, if the treatment of military families who don't toe the Trump line doesn't give you pause, there's something seriously wrong with you. |
