Trump escalates feud with the Khans as McCain delivers scathing rebuke

The feud between Donald Trump and the family of a slain Muslim American soldier entered its fourth full day Monday, with Khizr and Ghazala Khan continuing their criticism of the Republican nominee, Trump firing back on Twitter and Arizona Sen. John McCain releasing a lengthy, scathing rebuke of Trump’s comments about the Khans.
Over a series of televised morning show interviews, the Gold Star parents of Humayun Khan — a 27-year-old U.S. Army captain who was killed by a car bomb in Iraq in 2004 — urged Republicans to refrain from voting for their party’s presidential nominee.
“We are as concerned as Donald Trump is about the safety of this country,” Khizr Khan said on CNN’s “New Day” Monday. “But we need a leader that will unite us, not disrespect, not by derogatory remarks.”
