Well! I see CNN has figured out how to help Donald by shifting the conversation. They now

have the mom that spoke about Benghazi at the RNC Convention on their show. I am sure they will exploit this to soften the blows to Comrade Trumpf. Useless CNN.

The majority of the interview was about what she thought of what Trump was doing to the Khan family. Difficult interview considering it was the mother of a slain person.

7. But its not the same. This woman blamed Hillary for her son's death. Mr Khan did not blame Trump.

Although my first thought was she must be the democrat in the family.

I wonder when that curtain's closed who will she pull the lever for?

the hostess was completely cowed, and refused to deal with any facts surrounding her son's death, allowing her to ramble on pretty incoherently, raving about how Hillary lied to her about everything, claiming that she was refused information because they told her she wasn't part of the immediate family (?).

It was a truly shameless display by this woman, regardless of the fact of her son's death. She went on and on about how great Trump is, sounding like a deranged version of Scottie Nell Hughes, if that's possible.

sorry for you loss lady, but you did yourself no service by appearing today, especially when confronted with Hillary's response to your speech, when contrasted with Trump's crazed, still continuing attacks on the Khans.
