Trump When Asked If Attacks On Khan Family A Mistake: Define 'Mistake'
Source: Talking Points Memo
Donald Trump on Thursday morning refused to acknowledge whether his relentless attacks on a Gold Star family were a "mistake," but he also avoided launching into a full defense of his comments.
"Youll have to define what a 'mistake' means. Were not here to talk about that. Were here to talk about economics," Trump said on CNBC when asked if his attacks on the Khan family were a "mistake."
He then refused to talk about the situation further.
"Its been put to bed for a long time, and I dont think theres any reason for you to reopen it," Trump said.

Edit to add: I just want to say that President Clinton should never have been asked that question. It had nothing to do with the investigation. Now what the Cheeto Bandito did to the Khans is unconscionable. The only mistake he made is letting what his brain thinks excrete from the anal sphincter he passes off as a mouth.

(60,536 posts)"in what tense is the question being asked" should have been his response. The question was "is there a relationship..." when it should have been "was there a relationship?"
