>>KHIZR KHAN WAS THE CAPTAIN OF A CAPTAIN IN THE U.S. MILITARY
KILLED IN ACTION IN IRAQ, HE GAVE AN IMPASSIONED SPEECH AT
THE DNC ABOUT HIS SON AND HOW THEY LOST HIM, AND HOW DONALD
TRUMP DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE COUNTRY.
THEY ARE MUSLIM SO THAT
WAS PART OF THE REASON HE WAS SO UPSET, SAYING MY SON LOST HIS
LIFE FOR THIS COUNTRY AND YOU ARE STILL QUESTIONING OUR
LOYALTY?
I WILL GIVE YOU TRUMP'S UNBELIEVABLE REACTION, BUT IN
CASE YOU DIDN'T SEE IT, A SMALL SECTION OF THE SPEECH AT THE DNC.
>>HILLARY CLINTON WAS RIGHT WHEN SHE CALLED MY SON THE BEST OF
AMERICA.
IF IT WAS UP TO DONALD TRUMP, HE NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN
IN AMERICA.
DONALD TRUMP CONSISTENTLY SMEARS THE
CHARACTER OF MUSLIMS.
LET ME ASK YOU -- HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I WILL
GLADLY LEND YOU MY COPY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IN THIS DOCUMENT,
LOOK FOR THE WORDS "LIBERTY AND EQUAL PROTECTION OF LAW."
YOU
HAVE SACRIFICED NOTHING, AND NO ONE.
>>WHEN HE PULLED OUT THE CONSTITUTION OUT OF HIS POCKET,
THAT WAS A BOSS MOVE.
BY THE WAY, SINCE THEN, SALES OF POCKET
CONSTITUTIONS HAVE GONE UP, NOT KIDDING.
HIS MOM WAS THERE AS
WELL, SHE WROTE HER OWN OP-ED SAYING SHE WAS ASKED TO SPEAK
BUT SHE COULDN'T BECAUSE EVERY TIME SHE EVEN SEES A PICTURE OF
HER SON, SHE GETS EMOTIONAL.
I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT
IF IT WAS MY FAMILY MEMBER, I WILL GET EMOTIONAL.
BUT AT THE
VERY LEAST IT MAKES SENSE TO SAY THESE PEOPLE, THEY HAVE
SACRIFICED THEIR SON FOR THIS COUNTRY.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT THEM YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN DOING THAT BECAUSE
THEY'VE GIVEN THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE.
DO YOU THINK DONALD
TRUMP WILL BE CAREFUL?
YOU KNOW HE'S NOT.
HE TALKS TO ABC'S
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, LET'S START WITH THIS MADNESS.
>>I SAW HIM, HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AND PROBABLY LOOKED
LIKE A NICE GUY TO ME.
HIS WIFE, IF YOU LOOK AT HIS WIFE, SHE WAS
STANDING THERE, SHE HAD NOTHING TO SAY, MAYBE SHE WASN'T ALLOWED
TO HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, YOU TELL ME, BUT PLENTY OF PEOPLE
HAVE WRITTEN THAT.
SHE WAS EXTREMELY QUIET, AND LOOKED LIKE SHE HAS NOTHING
TO SAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID THAT.
>>WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THEM?
>>I WOULD SAY WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH RADICAL
ISLAMIC TERRORISM, A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
>>LET'S BREAK THAT DOWN INTO ITS TWO UNBELIEVABLE OBNOXIOUS
COMPONENTS, ONE IS SMEARING THE MOM LIKE THAT.
A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVE SAID SHE MIGHT NOT BE ALLOWED TO TALK.
WHO SAID THAT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
AT MOST IT WAS INCREDIBLY
OBNOXIOUS UBER RIGHT-WINGERS ONLINE WHO SAID THAT WITH NO
FACTS TO BACK IT UP.
OF COURSE SHE CAN SPEAK.
BUT INSTEAD OF
HAVING ANY DEGREE OF EMPATHY FOR THAT FAMILY WHO SACRIFICED SO
MUCH, INSTEAD, HE TURNS AROUND AND BLAMES THEM AND BLAMES
ISLAM.
WHAT KHIZR KHAN WAS SAYING WAS, DON'T LUMP ALL
MUSLIMS TOGETHER.
OUR SON FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM AND FOR THIS
COUNTRY, NOT LIKE THE GUYS IN ISIS, THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
AND
WHAT DOES DONALD TRUMP DO?
YOU LUMP THEM ALL TOGETHER.
HE SAYS,
I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK.
YOU KNOW HOW
TERRIBLE ISLAM IS.
AND HE SAYS I WOULD TELL THE FATHER ABOUT
RADICAL ISLAM, THAT IS WHY I WOULD KEEP PEOPLE LIKE YOU OUT
OF THE COUNTRY.
THAT WE ARE NOT LIKE RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS,
WE ARE THE OPPOSITE, OUR SON DIED DEFENDING AMERICA.
IF YOU
NEEDED ANY FURTHER EVIDENCE OF WHAT A BIGOT DONALD TRUMP IS,
THIS IS CRYSTAL CLEAR.
THE FATHER OF A FALLEN AMERICAN
SOLDIER IS ASKING HIM TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT
KINDS OF MUSLIMS, AND TRUMP ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO DO IT.
INSTEAD HE SMEARS THESE MUSLIMS AS, I MEAN, REALLY?
ARE THEY
REALLY THAT DIFFERENT?
THERE IS RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR IN THE
WORLD, OF COURSE IT MAKES SENSE FOR ME TO BE SUSPICIOUS OF YOU.
THAT IS, IN ESSENCE, HIS ANSWER.
NOT EVEN IN ESSENCE, THAT'S WHAT
HE SAID.
I WOULD TELL THE FATHER, THERE IS RADICAL ISLAMIC
TERROR.
WHY AM I KEEPING PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOUR SON OUT?
THAT'S WHY.
AND EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE MUSLIMS WHO SACRIFICE
FOR THIS COUNTRY, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN, YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE ME,
YOU ARE NOT MY RELIGION, I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS
ABOUT EQUAL PROTECTION.
WE BASED OUR ENTIRE POINT OF AMERICA ON
NOT DISCRIMINATING BASED ON RELIGION, READ THE CONSTITUTION.
HE SAYS I DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICA OR YOU OR YOUR SON, I
WILL DISCRIMINATE BASED ON RELIGION, DOUBLING DOWN IN THE
MOST BIGOTED WAY IMAGINABLE.
BE A HUMAN FOR A SECOND, SAY, THESE
FAMILIES, DON'T ASK ME TO SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM.
NO
MATTER HOW MUCH WE DISAGREE ON POLICY, I COULD NOT RESPECT THEM
MORE.
THAT IS WHY I SUPPORT VETERANS.
JUST HAVE A DECENT
ANSWER WITH A SHRED OF EMPATHY, YOU SOCIOPATH.
HERE IS ANOTHER PART OF HIS ANSWER.
>>HE SAID YOU HAVE SACRIFICED NOTHING AND NO ONE.
>>THAT SOUNDS -- WHO WROTE THAT?
DID HILLARY'S SCRIPT WRITERS WRITE THAT?
>>HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER THAT, WHAT SACRIFICES HAVE YOU MADE?
>>I'VE MADE A LOT OF SACRIFICES, I'VE WORKED HARD,
I'VE CREATED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS, TENS OF
THOUSANDS.
>>THOSE ARE SACRIFICES?
>>SURE, I THINK THEY ARE.
WHEN I CAN EMPLOY THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, TAKE CARE OF THEIR EDUCATION, TAKE CARE OF
SO MANY THINGS, EVEN IN THE MILITARY -- I WAS VERY
RESPONSIBLE ALONG WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR GETTING THE VIETNAM
MEMORIAL BUILT IN DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN, WHICH TO THIS DAY
PEOPLE THANK ME FOR.
I RAISED, AND HAVE RAISED, MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FOR VETS, I THINK MY POPULARITY WITH VETERANS IS
THROUGH THE ROOF.
>>THERE IS SOMETHING DEEPLY WRONG WITH THIS GUY.
LOOK, HERE
IS THE BEGINNING OF A HUMAN ANSWER TO THIS -- SACRIFICES?
ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE COULDN'T POSSIBLY COMPARE TO THE KHAN
FAMILY, WE CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR THAT, THAT DOESN'T
MEAN WE DON'T HAVE DIFFERENCES IN POLICY, AND IT'S OKAY TO HAVE
DIFFERENCES, BUT I DON'T WANT TO COMPARE MY SACRIFICES TO THEIRS.
I'VE CREATED A LOT OF JOBS BUT THAT PALES IN COMPARISON TO WHAT
THAT FAMILY WENT THROUGH.
A HUMAN BEING WOULD ANSWER THAT
WAY WITH SOME DEGREE OF EMPATHY.
DONALD TRUMP, OF COURSE I MADE
SACRIFICES, I CREATED JOBS AND BUILD A MEMORIAL, PEOPLE KEEP
THANKING ME FOR IT.
THE GUY WHO WROTE THE ART OF THE DEAL,
DONALD TRUMP'S BOOK, BUT THE GHOSTWRITER WHO WROTE IT, HE
SAID IF I HAD TO WRITE IT AGAIN HE WOULD RENAME IT THE
SOCIOPATH.
YOU ARE SEEING NOW WHY THAT IS THE CASE.
IF YOU
HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO CAN'T EMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE, THAT IS A
DANGEROUS SITUATION WE FIND OURSELVES IN.
THERE IS A LOT
MORE BACK-AND-FORTH HERE, BUT THERE WAS ONE OTHER CLIP FROM
TRUMP -- GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS ASKED, OKAY, ARE YOU GOING TO
SAY ANYTHING MORE ABOUT THE KHAN FAMILY, AND IT APPEARED THAT HE
SUMMONS PRIMORDIAL RAGE IN THIS ONE.
>>KHAN!
KHAN!
>>OKAY, WE ARE GOOFBALLS, WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT BUT THERE IT IS.
TRUMP THEN GETS BACK ON TWITTER -- OH NO.
PLEASE, SHUSH.
BUT THERE IS NO ONE ON HIS CAMPAIGN TO SAY
DONALD, WE LOST THIS ROUND, LET'S PICK OURSELVES UP AND STOP
TALKING ABOUT THIS.
NOPE, BACK ON TWITTER --
>>YOU ARE DOING IT AGAIN, YOU ARE PUTTING CAPTAIN KHAN IN THE
SAME SENTENCE AS RADICAL ISLAMIC TERROR AND WHY YOU WOULD HAVE
KEPT HIS FAMILY OUT WHEN THEY ARE THE OPPOSITE.
ANOTHER TWEET --
>>WHICH GUY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT WRITES "NICE" IN A
TWEET WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT?
YOU KNOW WHO VICIOUSLY ATTACKED
THE KHANS?
A SUICIDE BOMBER WHO KILLED THEIR SON.
HAVE SOME
RESPECT AND DECENCY.
BUT HE CAN'T, HE DOESN'T HAVE IT.
HIS
RESERVOIR OF DECENCY IS EMPTY.
