In what has to be one of the most tasteless fundraising emails to date, Gold Star father Khizr Khan is asking donors to give to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), writing “my son died for this country,” “will you chip in $1 before midnight?”
Khan has chided President Trump for “politicizing,” the death of Sgt. La David Johnson, yet is asking for a measly $1 on behalf of Democrats while evoking his deceased military son.
Dave Levinthal, a senior political reporter for Publici, tweeted a copy of the letter on Monday evening.
The emails reads from Khizr Khan via the DCCC:
“I love this country. My son died for this country. And like you, I watched Donald Trump’s latest attack on Gold Star families in horror. While Donald Trump’s word are devastating, they’re not surprising. Donald Trump can’t comprehend the sacrifice from our service members and families like mine. Dee, I know the only way to stop Trump is to win a Democratic House. I’d walk barefoot to every district in the country if it means Democrats win. But I can’t do it alone. I need you fighting with me. Will you chip in $1 before midnight?”
Khizr Khan was on CBS News’ ‘Face The Nation’ this weekend, speaking out against President Trump and Gen. John Kelly’s reaction to Rep. Frederica Wilson condolence call statements.
Daily Mail UK reports:
Khizr Khan slammed White House Chief of Staff John Kelly on Sunday, lamenting that the death of a Florida soldier had become a ‘political football.’
Khan, who is promoting a book, is the Gold Star father who set President Trump on a collision course with families of fallen servicemen and women when he attacked him from the stage of last year’s Democratic National Convention.
He specifically went after Kelly in an interview with ‘Face the Nation’ on CBS, saying the retired four-star Marine Corps general had ‘made the situation even worse’ after Democratic congresswoman Frederica Wilson accused Trump of botching a condolence call that she heard on speakerphone.
It’s important to remember Khizr Khan believes Sharia Law trumps the U.S. Constitution and he’s written about it several times.
Khan has defended Sharia Law in 10 different countries.
Breitbart.com reported:
Khizr M. Khan has published papers supporting the supremacy of Islamic law over “man-made” Western law — including the very Constitution he championed in his Democratic National Convention speech attacking GOP presidential nod Donald Trump.
In 1983, for example, Khan wrote a glowing review of a book compiled from a seminar held in Kuwait called “Human Rights In Islam” in which he singles out for praise the keynote address of fellow Pakistani Allah K. Brohi, a pro-jihad Islamic jurist who was one of the closest advisers to late Pakistani dictator Gen. Zia ul-Haq, the father of the Taliban movement.

How’s about we start a fund to boot you to the Sun?
My distaste for the RAT party is beyond description.
Probably the reason she thought the President "disrespected" her husband, is because she doesn't speak the language. I heard her statements on the radio news.
They were best friends, close as sisters, and they were headed to California. Paige Farley- Hackel, and Ruth McCourt were going to fly from Boston together on United Airlines Flight 175, but when Ms. Farley- Hackel realized she could use frequent flyer miles, she got a ticket for American Airlines Flight 11 instead. Ms. McCourt, who was flying with her 4-year-old daughter, Juliana, and Ms. Farley-Hackel said goodbye in the early morning hours at Logan International Airport in Boston on Sept. 11, and boarded their planes.
The women had planned on meeting in Los Angeles and taking Juliana to Disneyland. Ms. Farley-Hackel's plane was hijacked and struck the north tower of the World Trade Center. Ms. McCourt's and Juliana's flight, hijacked as well, crashed into the south tower shortly thereafter.
The mother and daughter would have been a striking pair sitting together, said Ms. McCourt's mother, Paula Clifford Scott, what with Ms. McCourt's long red hair and Juliana's blond locks. She was only 4, but already Juliana, nicknamed Miss J, displayed a little sense of wit.
"And she was a nurturer like her mother," Ms. Scott said.
Ruth McCourt, who was 45 and a homemaker from New London, Conn., met Ms. Farley-Hackel at the day spa she used to own in Boston. She gave up the business when she got married six years ago, but the friendship lasted. The two women often traveled together. They shared passions for reading and cooking and learning new things.
Ms. Farley-Hackel, who was 46 and a writer and motivational speaker from Newton, Mass., was looking forward to having the first few episodes of her new radio program, "Spiritually Speaking," hit the airwaves. She had a dream: in two years or so, she wanted to either be featured on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" or be Oprah's biggest rival, said her husband, Allan Hackel.
Recently, the Oprah show included a memorial segment about Ms. Farley-Hackel's friendship with Ms. McCourt and Juliana.
Profile published in THE NEW YORK TIMES on November 13, 2001.
Ruth Clifford McCourt, 45, and Juliana Valentine McCourt, 4, New London, Conn. They were looking forward to a weeklong California trip that would include a spiritual conference at the Deepak Chopra Center for Well Being in San Diego, and a visit to Disneyland. McCourt, 45, lived for years in Newton, where she opened a day spa, Clifford Classiques.
On May 5, 2017 Khizr Khan attended a ceremony at the University of Virginia which commemorated his son, an alumnus of the university, by installing a plaque on the north wall of Thomas Jefferson’s rotunda. The plaque reads, “Iraq War 2003-2011 / In memory of Humayun Saquib Muazzam Khan, a son of the University, who was killed in Iraq in 2004. / He stands in the unbroken line of patriots who dared to die that freedom might live. / Presented by the Seven Society.”
Early in the morning of Sunday, September 19, 2017, while the university community was sleeping, the University of Virginia removed the bronze plaques from Thomas Jefferson’s rotunda, installed in 1903, honoring the Confederate alumni of the institution who died in the Civil War. The action was done at the direction of the university’s governing Board of Visitors in response to demands of the Black Student Alliance.
The University of Virginia was founded by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson said of his university, “This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.”
Such is the state of tolerance at the University of Virginia, in the commonwealth of Virginia, and in the United States of America in 2017.
My son died for his country, help me destroy it.
How pathetic. This khan guy should feel so ashamed right now for invoking his dead son to raise money for a hate-filled organization his own son probably didn’t like.
Khan should go out back by the wood shed and join his son for this heinous and despicable act.
I wasn’t aware that President Trump attacked a Gold Star Family. When did that happen?
I know he responded to an attack by an insane Black Congresswoman. Is she a Gold Star Mother?
Here’s a peso. Build a wall.
Gold Star Trump Supporters need to take this clown to task. WHAT a GHOUL. Sold his son for a dollar. Beyond words.
Dems would rather Take A Knee than die for their country ...
