| The Kahn Family at the Democratic National Convention |
Donald Trump, for once in your life do the right thing. Apologize to the Kahns.
An apology through your campaign is not satisfactory.
Apologize to the Kahn family for implying a grieving mother wasn't allowed to speak because she is a Muslim.
Below is a letter from the Gold Star Members family demanding an apology from Donald Trump:
“Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.”
WASHINGTON, DC – Family members of twenty-three fallen service-members are writing to Donald J. Trump today, expressing their dismay at his treatment of the family of CPT. Humayun Khan, and demanding an apology. The letter was organized by Karen Meredith, a Gold Star mother who serves as Military Families Coordinator for VoteVets.org.
The letter is below:
August 1, 2016 Donald J Trump 725 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10022Mr. Trump,We are all Gold Star Families, who have lost those we love the most in war. Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.Your recent comments regarding the Khan family were repugnant, and personally offensive to us. When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us. When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice.You are not just attacking us, you are cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost.You are minimizing the risk our service members make for all of us.This goes beyond politics. It is about a sense of decency. That kind decency you mock as "political correctness."We feel we must speak out and demand you apologize to the Khans, to all Gold Star families, and to all Americans for your offensive, and frankly anti-American, comments.We hope you will hear us.Sincerely,Diane and Neil Santoriello, Mother and Father of 1LT Neil Santoriello, KIA, IraqSummer Lipford-Mickelson, Mother, Frederick Sirko, Father, Kirby Mickelson, Stepfather, Laura Sirko Samimy and Bridget Sirko Gentle, Sisters of PFC Steven Sirko, KIA, Iraq.Sue and Randy Loudon, Mother and Father of 2ndLt.

I really believe Trump is deliberately says these things so Clinton wins. No one can be this stupid and say the things he does. Trump wanted to run for fun and now there is no fun so he is willing to look like an Ass to lose. God help this country. Cheryl
Thank you for that!
Mr. Khan used the death of his son to bash Donald Trump at the DNC. Kahn was a plant of Hillary Clinton. If anyone needs an apology it's the American people for this khan job.
Get a life!
cheryl,
I too believe that Trump doesn't want to win the presidency. His whole focus has always been on winning but he hasn't figured out how to "win" and not be president. I think what he wants to do is lose by a small fraction and then claim "the system is rigged!" so he can start his own TV Network called Trump Network, which will replace Fox News now that that Roger Ailes has gone from the scene.

You're welcome christina.
Don't know how Mr. Kahn bashed Trump. Based on what I saw and heard, he told the guy to learn the Constitution, which Trump clearly doesn't know, understand or care about. He's proven this multiple times by making statements about what he will do about immigrants as a whole, muslims and other actions he will take which are 1) currently against the law; and 2) not within presidential power.
You say get a life, I say learn a book!
I, too, have wondered if he would rather be able to whine about the election being rigged than actually winning. Whether anyone agrees with Khan or not, Khan is an impressive speaker.
