Khizr Khan on Trump & Purple Heart: You should've "pinned that back to that veteran's chest"

[UCmeNdc]

Mr. Khizr Khan is totally correct!

I would be totally ashamed of myself to accept a Purple Heart from a veteran that I did not earn. A wise person would have said Thank you but No! You earned this I want you to keep it. It would be my honor to have you keep this for I see a man of courage before me.

Donald Trump treats the Purple Heart as if it were a cheap souvenir. That is what Donald Trump thinks of American Veterans.
News Media should emphasize that message from Mr. Khizr Khan.

While speaking to CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night, Khan slammed Trump:

“You had your chance. You escaped. You dodged the draft ― and now you want an ‘easy’ Purple Heart in your pocket? You should have pinned it back. Even now, call that man. I want his surrogates to call that man, thank him and put that Purple Heart back on that person’s chest.”

snip..........
Khan said. “He should have put that Purple Heart back. If he would have been sensible he would have known what it takes to earn that Purple Heart.”

1. Could you even imagine

the good will he would have gotten by merely saying "I'm honored at your gesture but, unlike you, have done nothing to deserve this" and pinned it back on the veteran? But noooooooo, like always, it's ALL about comrade donnie. Such a schmuck.

17. Could you imagine the hell fury

if a democrat would have done that Trump did?

[leftynyc]

18. It would have been the end

of their campaign - without question.

2. What was worse is that Don the Con always wanted one

and was thrilled that this was easy. That is some level of sick.

[BlueMTexpat]

3. Exactly!

[malaise]

4. Now it turns out that the Vet told him it was a copy before he went on stage

and said otherwise.

6. ROFL

Good morning trusy elf

[trusty elf]

8. Good morning to you, malaise!

I'm starting to get back into having fun with drumpf.

[AllyCat]

9. That is part really sticking in my craw.

He has done nothing. Again, zero sacrifice.

[malaise]

16. Not in his twisted mid

He's really sick

[mobeau69]

7. He tossed out the mother and the crying baby. LOL.

He could've invited the lady on stage and held the baby in front of the crowd. That would've been a good photo op. But noooo, tRump tosses them out and he looks like the shit ass that he is. Just another bad reaction by the idiot. He never heard of making lemonade out of lemons. What a totally clueless dolt.

The irony is that he's the biggest, loudest crying baby of all.

Donald Trump, we see you. The whole World's watching.

[lonestarnot]

13. Oh fuck, he tossed a baby? OMG

asshat.

[COLGATE4]

20. Yep. When the infant first started crying he immediately

veered off-course from whatever it was he was babbling about to say how wonderful babies are, etc. etc. Then, after another couple of minutes he said something to the effect of "about babies- I was just kidding. Get it out of here". Laughter and applause from his audience of morons.

[Skidmore]

10. I wish they had a some

citizen's award akin to the Purple Heart to give to Mr. Khan. He has acquitted himself heroically as a citizien with the threat Trump presents to the nation. And, he does so with dignity and great honor.

[avebury]

11. President Obama could award him the Presdidential

Medal of Freedom - the nation's highest civilian award.

The Kennedys (JFK Library) could award him the Profiles in Courage Award.

[IronLionZion]

12. Donny is trolling all of us

It amazes me that anyone still supports this charlatan.

[lonestarnot]

14. Punked again as wasn't even real.

LOL. The hits just keep coming! LMAO

[Fritz Walter]

15. Today, Drumpf is scheduled to speak in Jacksonville

At the Veterans Memorial Arena, in a city that hosts two active-duty Navy bases, one Air National Guard base, and a new National Cemetery.

Do you suppose he's aiming for a Medal of Honor or at least a Navy Cross this time?



I will not be attending.

[CRH]

19. Wow, now Trump turns the Purple Heart into, ...

A game of pin the tail on the donkey. It gets better every day, how little respect for 'republican values' (oxymoron I know), trashed daily in the wake of the Trump disaster.
No disrespect intended toward the DEM mascot.
