'Ours Is A Sacrifice You Will Never Know': Gold Star Family Members Demand Apology from Trump
By BRIAN MCBRIDE
Eleven Gold Star Families penned a letter to Donald Trump demanding an apology for "repugnant" and "personally offensive" remarks he made toward the parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, a Muslim-American soldier who was killed in Iraq during combat in 2004. The letter was published by VoteVets Action Fund, the progressive advocacy wing of the political action committee for VoteVets.org.
The letter, released Sunday night, comes after Trump's response to Khizr and Ghazala Khan, who made headlines at the Democratic National Convention last week. Khizr Khan gave a speech in which he called Trump's proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. "unconstitutional," while making the dramatic gesture of pulling a copy of the Constitution from his pocket and asking Trump directly: "Have you even read the United States Constitution?" Khan went on to say that Trump had "sacrificed nothing and no one," in a scathing rebuke of the Republican candidate.
