McCain condemns Trump comments

I haven't agreed with much of what McCain has had to say for a long time now, and once again he is wrong. The parents of Capt. Humayun Khan have every right to grieve and we honor his son for his sacrifice. Trump also said as much. However, Trump objected to the attack launched on him by the CPT Kahn's father. It was unfair. Trump has not called for the vilification of Muslims as the father stated. He has merely called for appropriate vetting of Muslims being imported from a war theater. (As we have seen in Europe, terrorists are among these refugees and have caused great harm there) Trump went on to observe that the mother was silent. Was that because she didn't share her husband's views? Or because she is grieving silently? Or because she is submitting to her husband as is called for in her faith? That doesn't matter and Trump need not have mentioned that part. But, one thing is clear, the sacrifice of CPT Kahn does not confer on his father any special rights or privileges. If he chooses to step upon the political stage and use his son's glory to add power to his condemnation of Trump, Trump has every right to return the favor. This whole affair is being blown out of proportion. The media is glossing over the nature of Trump's retort to CPT Kahn's father and making it appear that he insulted a Gold Star family when, in fact, he didn't. Why? Because it is another opportunity to vilify Trump. Another opportunity to detract from Hillary's very real assault on a Gold Star mother when she called that mother of a hero of Benghazi a liar. We all saw Hillary lie to that mother and Hillary responds by saying that she didn't and that the mother is lying. Why don't we focus on that?

I'm not saying that Clinton has any better opinion of the military, but Trump has compared the 'sacrifices' he's made in his privileged upbringing to those who serve/served and their families. That is utterly despicable, yet some continue to give him a pass... why?

McCain would do well to find some pie for the pie hole. He continues to embarrass himself and has no command of the facts. He is parroting democrat talking points and is apparently to slow to know it.
