Did Trump go too far?
cnn ^

Posted on 08/01/2016 8:35:11 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's criticism about the Muslim parents of a slain American soldier has generated -- once again -- a backlash within his own party.

Just 100 days from the election, Trump has responded in his standard fashion -- dig in, claim he's being treated unfairly and attack back. But the swift condemnation of Trump's response raises questions about whether this controversy is different from the ones that came before it. It certainly isn't going away - Khizr and Ghazala Khan appeared for a lengthy joint interview on CNN's "New Day" on Monday where Khizr accused Trump of "ignorance and arrogance." Khan also said he's received an outpouring of support for speaking out against the GOP presidential candidate, including from many Republicans. And he warned that Trump's attacks on Muslims are boosting terror recruitment. Khan said it is good Muslims who are the ones who can help stop terror and make American safer. "We are the solution to terrorism," Khan said on CNN Monday. Trump tweeted during the interview that the issue was not the Khans, it was stopping the spread of radical Islamic terrorism.

To think CNN hides behind, and ignores the very reason for, the 1st Amendment. Utterly disgraceful. And we are forced to listen to their bilge when we travel and at eateries. Tagline!

Another non-troversy stirred up by the media, much like the plagiarism non-troversy that they harped on for 3 straight days, and still mention even now.

And he warned that Trump's attacks on Muslims are boosting terror recruitment.

Khan would know, being the Mudslime who spits on the Bill of Rights that he is...

HA! He knocked every RINO off the stage and is going to kick Hilliary right in the nuts.

Snowflakes may want to curl up in their blankie for the next few months.

Especially when we found out Khan has close ties to the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.

BINGO

Donald needs to keep hammering this disgusting man & his attempt to bring Sharia Law to America.

Agree 120%! Trump needs to take this opportunity to hammer home the truth about his man, and in so doing, reveal the truth about Mohammedanism/Islam to the American people.

Then sit back and watch the MSM scrambling to remove further discussion from their 24/7 reporting...

True that. One reason I strongly support Trump is that he doesn't hold back. He's usually spot on. Usually, but not always.
