The father of the slain Muslim U.S. soldier at the center of a controversial feud with Donald Trump said Monday he had no desire to escalate the conflict and that it's time to "join hands with good Muslims" -- even as the Republican candidate attacked him on Twitter during the live interview.

Khizr Khan was a guest on "New Day" on CNN Monday with his wife Ghazala Khan, and delivered the criticism of Trump amid an extended plea for unity and empathy. He stressed the need to work with Muslim communities to combat radicalization, while again slamming Trump for his divisive rhetoric.

...

But even as the Khans expressed their desire to leave the controversy behind, Trump responded to the criticism during the interview on Twitter. He wrote, "Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same - Nice!"

Mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the DNC and is now all over T.V. doing the same - Nice!

Trump also tweeted that the focus should be on "radical Islamic terrorism," not the Khans.

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!

2. I believe the Kahns are an example of what I find best in America

They don't want this fight, they came and said what they had to say and are now extending an olive branch of peace and a direction we should take as Americans.

Unfortunately Trump sees it as another attack and not an opportunity to say something nice and meaningful.

3. The story IS about the Kahns and about Trump's plan to ban Muslims

... but it's morphing into yet another story about Trump's severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which prevents him from empathizing with anyone and which causes rage when he is "viciously attacked."
