Following Donald Trump‘s attack on the family of fallen Iraq War veteran Humayun Khan, another mother of a deceased serviceman went on the offensive against the Republican presidential nominee.

In a press release from the veterans advocacy group VoteVets, Karen Meredith, who’s the son of First Lieutenant Ken Ballard, said that the Khan family possessed great courage for giving a speech at the DNC Convention.

“The parents of Humayun Khan showed great courage, standing up in front of the Democratic Convention,” Meredith wrote according to KTVU. “Mrs. Khan, who was too grief-stricken to speak to such a large audience, showed extraordinary courage and strength by standing on stage with her husband. For Donald Trump to insult their culture, by saying that is why she did not speak, is offensive.”

In an interview with ABC News, Trump compared his personal losses to the Khan family’s loss of their son by claiming that he has made “sacrifices” as well. Meredith addressed this in her letter, stating that Trump’s financial losses do not come close to anything that military families experience on a daily basis.

Way to support the troops, Cheeto Man!

2. it's galling how trump appears to have felt upstaged by the kahn's suffering

the compulsion to compare himself to them is repulsive.
