Gov. Greg Abbott is coming to the defense of a fallen Muslim soldier's family, which has been under attack from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

"The service and devotion of Gold Star families to America cannot be questioned," Abbott said in a statement provided Monday to The Texas Tribune. "Captain [Humayun] Khan, like many heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice, will be forever remembered for their service in protecting the freedoms we cherish in America."

Trump has been clashing with the Khans after Khizr Khan, Humayun Khan's father, delivered an emotional speech Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in which he said Trump had "sacrificed nothing and no one." Trump has since said Khizr Khan had "no right" to criticize him and speculated that the soldier's mother, who also appeared onstage at the Democratic Convention, was not "allowed" to speak.

“Trump has said his piece and needs to move on.”

Trump’s the decider on what he needs to do. He has quite the record of winning his way. So maybe you can move on now, instead?

Vote Trump 2016

No. Hillary started this by using the muslim to paint Trump as a racist bigot.

Hillary voted FOR the war that got Khan's son killed.

I find the title of the article misleading.

The MSM will attack Trump no matter what he says or does, cherry pick quotes, make up out of whole cloth, etcetcetc. He doesn’t roll over and play dead. And the whole Khan thing is nothing, nothing, no one will not vote from Trump because of it. Plus...

I personally don’t give a flying Cruz copulating with rats if this was the father of the Pope. He is still an activist for Sharia law connected to the Muslim brotherhood.

He said Trump had a black soul. What color was the SB murders’ souls? Or the Ft. Hood shooter?

Trump didn’t “attack” the family any more than he “attacked” the Pope.

And, btw, why isn’t anyone challenging the father for using expressions annihilated from the USA’s vocabulary - like “black heart”, “black soul” and other uses of “black” Kahn utters in a derogatory fashion? Racism is ok if it comes out of the lips of a Muslim?

And speaking of RACISM, here’s how Kahn REALLY feels about Americans:

“The service and devotion of gold star families to America cannot be questioned”

Oh really? Since when Greg? What is this Russia now? Just because a brave soldier fell in battle does not mean his sharia pushing Muslim brotherhood immigration lawyer father gets a pass to smear Donald Trump. Give me a break!

Cannot be questioned? Are you kidding? No such person has ever been born whose activities and motives cannot be questioned. What nonsense!
