VFW slams Trump with a blistering statement after he berates parents of slain Army hero

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

My father was a member of the VFW. They're generally a pretty conservative group.

It seems Donald Trump has really stepped in it with his attacks on the Khan family.

One day after Trump suggested that Ghazala Khan didn’t speak about her late son at last week’s Democratic National Convention because her husband Khizr wouldn’t “allow” her to do so, the highly influential Veterans of Foreign Wars organization is calling him out.

“Election year or not, the VFW will not tolerate anyone berating a Gold Star family member for exercising his or her right of speech or expression,” said VFW Commander-in-Chief Brian Duffy. “There are certain sacrosanct subjects that no amount of wordsmithing can repair once crossed. Giving one’s life to nation is the greatest sacrifice, followed closely by Gold Star families, who have a right to make their voices heard.”

In addition to the VFW, 17 other Gold Star families also denounced Trump’s attack on the Khan family on Monday.

“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,” the Gold Star families wrote in an open letter to Trump. “When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice.”

1. Let's see waht happens when Trump goes after the VFW

[Thinkingabout]

2. Contrary to what Cory Lewandowski says, Trump attacked first, Trump has been on a year attack of

Muslims, much before the DNC convention when the Khans spoke. He has gotten away with attacking many who had not attacked him first. Also, Cory lied again about what Mr Khan said about the Constitution, Mr. Khan ask Trump if he had read the Constitution, Lewandowski can spin but we have video, it does not lie and can not survive the RW spin. Trump also supported the invasion of Iraq, now he says he would not. HELLO Trump, stop the lies and the RW needs to stop repeating the lies.
