Um, yers and Drump's demand that she says something....is completely undercut by the fact that she has said that speaking about her son's death is still too much for her to do presently, she cannot even enter a room with his image, she completely breaks down.
“ was very nervous, because I cannot see my son’s picture, I cannot even come in the room where his pictures are,” she said of her appearance at the DNC.
She also recounted her last conversation, on Mother’s Day. “‘Be safe, and don’t become hero for me, just be my son, come back as a son,’” she recalled, fighting back tears. “He came back as a hero.”
Reacting to Trump’s comments about the fallen soldier’s mother, the Khan family issued an emotional and stinging rebuke of Trump.
“Running for president is not an entitlement to disrespect Gold Star families and [a] Gold Star mother not realizing her pain. Shame on him! Shame on his family,” Khizr Khan told ABC News.
“He has no decency,” Khan said.
“Sacrifice, I don’t think he knows the meaning of sacrifice,” Ghazal Khan said. “Because when I was standing there, all America felt my pain. Without saying a single word. Everybody felt that pain.”
“I am very upset when I heard when he said that I didn’t say anything. I was in pain,” she said, her voice gripped in emotion. “If you were in pain you fight or you don’t say anything, I’m not a fighter, I can’t fight. So the best thing I do was quiet.”
“I don’t know what type of Islam he has read or heard,” she said in response to Trump’s suggestion that she wasn’t allowed to speak. “I’m so sorry about that, that he has not had any idea what the Islam is.”
