Full title: Gold Star Mom: If You’re Outraged By Trump, Be Outraged That Obama Ignored Requests To Keep Media Away From Son’s Casket

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Legal View,” Gold Star mom Karen Vaughn said that while the Khan family “probably had a right to be offended” over Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s remarks, President Obama ignored a request by her and other families not to bring media to the return of the caskets of their children, and “if you’re going to just be outraged that one person says something that could be construed as a flippant remark without a lot of thought put behind it, what about the outrage over things people do? What about the outrage over Hillary Clinton still to date insinuating those grieving parents who say she said one thing must be mistaken?”

Vaughn began by describing her meeting with Trump by saying, “[T]he atmosphere in the room was very warm, very compassionate. If I could describe his demeanor with us, it was gentle, soft-spoken, and tender, and i felt like he got what we’ve given. he understood. it was a very good meeting, and we talked about, we didn’t talk about the Khan situation at all, because frankly, as a Gold Star mom, I’m not that easily offended by things like this. I don’t hold it against anybody else who is. I’m just not personally, and most of the people I know aren’t personally offended by things like that. So, we talked about substantive things.”

3 days now I have been trying to ascertain exactly what these remarks were. Anybody know exactly?

No. Just miscellaneous fantasy words.

Me too!

I think he just wondered why the mother didn’t speak and said it was probably because she is Muslim. ?

Yesterday watching CNN I was very irritated because the media keeps talking about his “comments” but they never replay the clip or even explain it. I bet 90% or more of people who have been conditioned, over the past few days, to be outraged over Trump’s comments actually have no idea what he said.

Right! In the poll conducted , that 80% thought Trump was out of line with his “attack” on the Gold Star family. But the poll results said they were familiar with the situation, but never said they heard the actual statement.

"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."

"She probably, 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 it looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that."

THE END

That’s it?

[daltec]

That's it. It was during an interview with Snuffleuffagus. Trump was responding to Khan's statement that he had sacrificed nothing. Trump stated that he had sacrificed a lot, that he worked very hard and created a lot of jobs and businesses. He then said the statement I previously quoted.

And that's it.

Here's the transcript of the interview dealing just with Trump's comments on the Khans.
