U.S. Republican Donald Trump's presidential campaign appealed to Capitol Hill for support on Monday as his attacks on the Muslim parents of a decorated American soldier killed in Iraq drew sharp rebukes from fellow party members.

Trump's criticism of Khizr Khan and Ghazala Khan, who took the stage at last week's Democratic convention, sparked growing concern and dismay from Republican lawmakers responding to the latest Trump outburst to blindside his party colleagues.

There is no “attack” on those parents - first lie.

He should demand support these “republicans” are worthless.

Worse even, they WANT millions more muslim refugees and illegals. they want us ruined as a country. They have no principles or honor.

Even silly Christie spoke out without knowing the facts. The pressure in NJ for Islam must be intense.

CONNECT THE DOTS (and how did the Saudi’s coverup their role in the 911 Atrocity
And how did Clinton coverup giving arms to al Qaeda at Benghazi?) :

Khizr Khan Pakistani, lived in the UAE before coming to the USA.
In the legal profession as a “litigation technology specialist”.

Khizr Khan’s Saudi Ties

Khan specializes in visa programs accused of selling U.S. citizenship

From 2000-2007, Kahn was manager of litigation technology for Hogan & Hartson
the DC law firm involved with managing Hillary’s email system.

Loretta Lynch also worked at Hogan - 2002-2010.

“New York tax attorney Howard Topaz, Clintons’ personal tax lawyer,
is a partner at Hogan & Hartson.

Update: Khizr Khan’s Former Company Included in Wikileaks DNC Email Documents

Capt Kahn was killed in what may have been an attempt to kill fellow soldiers.
... one eyewitness said they had seen the suicide car, but were never warned by Capt. Kahn.

Soldiers were in a position where they would get killed, lining them up ...

We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

-- The Establishment wants Hillary to win. They won't defend him. --

That's correct. Reading the article, the Trump campaign put out a set of talking points. The article purports to reveal some of those, althought I'd like to read the request from the Trump campaign.

The talking points as presented were not controversial.

Attached to the appeal were talking points lawmakers could use to try to tamp down the controversy growing since last week's appearance at the Democratic convention by the Khans ...

In the talking points sent to lawmakers, the Trump campaign said he had been asked about the Khans' comments during the convention and wished them well. The talking points also noted that Trump "wants to end radical Islamic terror, so that our soldiers like Mr. Khan's son will be safe."

The list also says Trump had not directly compared his sacrifices to the Khans. Trump said over the weekend he had also made sacrifices in his life by working hard, creating jobs and being successful.

Trump is correct. He seems to be correct almost all of the time. That’s what scares the crooks, cowards, and enemy within. Congress is a disgrace. They have sold out their country.

True...I think the demons will show their ugly colors now....Trump needs a lot of prayers as this is a spiritual battle as well as a political battle.

Please see that the information you post here is seen by every last media outlet in this country and other countries. This is VERY scary.

Throughout the primaries and now the general, Trump has proven himself to be smarter than the media, the GOPe, and the Democrats.

Trump has been masterful dealing with the Khans.

Savvy move.

* Let's see and hear who officially sides with the Mooselimb Propagandist (before the truth is unleashed)

* Who supports the Invasion of Jihadists

* Exactly WHO supports Hillary (before McCain's and Ryan's respective Congressional races...

And DO NOT.

Silence must be construed as a tacit support of the above three bullet points.

Christie put THREE Sharia Law LOVING Muslims on the bench, as judges, in N.J. years ago. He’s a panderer to Muzzies.

These “career politicians” have DIARRHEA OF THE MOUTH.

If it is true that Christie spoke out without knowing the
facts; then TRUMP showed good judgment in not naming him as
a VP running mate. So far, Mike Pence has handled things
fine.
