President Obama Slams Donald Trump Over Gold Star Khan Family
http://time.com/4433622/president-obama-donald-trump-khizr-ghazala-khan/President Obama fired back at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s dismissal of the family of a dead Muslim U.S. soldier during remarks at the Disabled American Veterans’ National Conference in Atlanta on Monday.
The sacrifice Gold Star families have given to America is greater than most Americans will know, the president said.
“No one—no one—has given more for our freedom and security than our Gold Star families,” Obama said. “They represent the very best of our country. They continue to inspire us every day and every moment. They serve of as a powerful reminder of the true strength of America.”
The president added that the U.S. has to “do everything that we can for those families and and honor them and be humbled by them.”
