Point is that when you posted that you didn't know what her name was. For all you knew, it could be Kahn. If it isn't, you found out after your post.



Your remark makes no sense at all.

First of all, the spelling is Khan. Second, who cares what the woman's last name is? That is not a photo of the woman who was being discussed in the tweet. I've seen Ghazala Khan on TV a few times, online and in the newspaper and there is no resemblance whatsoever to the woman in the picture with President Obama. Seems as if some people are desperate to support Trump's outrageous behavior.

At the risk of error and falsehood there is growing evidence that Mr. Kahn ( Aka Crooked Hillary's hit man) is a muslim brotherhood opperative and mediaite! Let' still keep in mind the loss of his Army son a gold star hero who served us well!!! As for attempting to nail Trump that production is leading to still another democratic nightmare....deserved.

Why? Simple...

Because Trump opened his yap to talk about how Muslims shouldn't be here. That is highly offensive to American Muslims, other Americans, and especially to a family who's son died in the service of his country.

This is another of those simple premises that for some reason "patriotic republicans" are blinded to. Trump started the mess by denigrating a patriot - then couldn't take it when the soldier's father answered him back.

A tragedy is getting hit by the bus. A sacrifice is when you lose you son to war.

I read that Trump called the son a hero.

Did Trump say Muslims shouldn't be here - as in deported?

Nope-you didn't. He sais that he wants to vet, Muslims coming in from Syria since ISIS said they were going to slip terrorists in with the refugees. THEY SAID IT PLAIN AS DAY.

Apparently Mr. Trump thinks it matters. Otherwise he would not even talk about this issue.
Exactly! Since when sacrifice became a qualifier? Should all politicians now and moving froward specifically state what sacrifices they have made before they run for office. What sacrifice has HE made? His son is 6 ft. under and he is on the podium. Who made the sacrifice?

Trump called his son a hero after he was told how stupid his argument was and he wanted to backtrack.

As for the other, I guess you never heard Trump wanted to ban Muslims.

So he said the son wasn't a hero and backtracked to say the son was a hero?

Oh, yeah! It's such a wonderful "vetting process"---NOT! The female shooter in San Bernardino gave a fake address on her visa application and no one looked at what she had posted on social media.

Our government was warned about the Tsarnaevs but still let them in. Wake up!

I'm not an "immigrant". I was born here.

BTW, even Native Americans' ancestors came here from someplace else---that being Asia.

I suggest they take this up with George Bush who started the war and, more importantly, Hillary who voted for it and funded it. Trump should tell this Khan guy if you are really angry about your son's death, what are you doing on the podium with Hillary? He is a tool. I bet if you dig into his past you'll find a partisan activist.
