Being members of the Muslim Brotherhood in relatively short order.
Too many of his surrogates are now doing so (Roger Stone and his Veterans' Affairs Advisor the two most prominent) to think we won't get a Trump "Since people say..." quote sooner rather than later.

(9,854 posts)Did they actually come out and accuse them of being members of the Muslim Brotherhood?? Is that hyperbole on your part or did it really happen??
Cause that is fucked up, even for Donald Trump.

The actual story implied that the only reason Capt. Khan did not frag his fellow soldiers was that he was killed before he got the chance.

According to former Trump campaign staffer and key confidante Roger Stone, Democratic convention speaker Khizr Khan isnt really just a father of a fallen soldier, hes a Muslim Brotherhood sleeper agent hellbent on protecting Hillary Clinton.
Stone tweeted his theory Sunday night.
@RogerJStoneJr
Mr. Khan more than an aggrieved father of a Muslim son- he's Muslim Brotherhood agent helping Hillary http://linkis.com/shoebat.com/2016/07/amTCP
The url in Stones tweet links to a website run by anti-Islam pundit Walid Shoebat, and co-run by his son Theodore Shoebat. The Shoebats argue that Khan is a Muslim plant working with the Hillary Clinton campaign, probably for the interest of Muslim oil companies as well as Muslim immigration into the U.S.

(17,863 posts)Stone and Baldasaro become persona non grata to the Trump campaign. We definitely need a reporter to ask Trump about these two.
Cal Thomas went down this rabbit hole as well. David Frum called him back, and he quickly retreated. Still you might want to visit Cal's Facebook account which still has his endorsement of the story that Mr. Khan is a terrorist, and Capt. Khan was only prevented from fragging his fellow soldiers by being killed.
