‘I Was Just Joking’: Media Apoplectic as Khizr Khan Attack on Donald Trump Goes Down in Flames
Breitbart ^ | 8/1/2016 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/01/2016 4:57:15 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Mainstream media figures from the New York Times to the Huffington Post to CNN are apoplectic Monday as their latest attack on Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, has crumbled yet again under the slightest bit of scrutiny.

Specifically, the newest line of attack to fall apart is the criticism of Trump over Khizr Khan, the Muslim Gold Star father who spoke at the Democratic National Convention last week.

Over the weekend and for the past few days since Khan spoke alongside his wife Ghazala Khan about their son, U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004, media-wide reporters, editors, producers, and anchors have tried to lay criticism on Trump over the matter. They thought they had a good one, a specific line of attack that pitted Trump against the military—and supposedly showed him as a big meanie racist in the process.

But, as Breitbart News showed on Monday midday, that clearly was not the case. Khizr Khan has all sorts of financial, legal, and political connections to the Clintons through his old law firm, the mega-D.C. firm Hogan Lovells LLP. That firm did Hillary Clinton’s taxes for years, starting when Khan still worked there involved in, according to his own website, matters “firm wide”—back in 2004. It also has represented, for years, the government of Saudi Arabia in the United States. Saudi Arabia, of course, is a Clinton Foundation donor which—along with the mega-bundlers of thousands upon thousands in political donations to both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2016—plays right into the “Clinton Cash” narrative.

If the MSM didn’t have this story, there wouldn’t be anything for them to “hook” their viewers, except maybe that their boy, Paul Ryan may lose his seat.. This is a non-story, really.

You’re surprised by this? This is to be EXPECTED.

Yeah, it was a setup. I wasn't ready for it though. Trump had been rolling.

The NeverTrumpers are misreporting it as well, and they are (or were) taken as authoritative.

Okay, I'll "insult you again", because you don't keep up; which is STUPID!

Trump didn't backpedal, nor change ANYTHING at all. It didn't take "him" to "correct the course". And not ALL, nor even most MSM have "changed" their stories, nor posted the factual truth about the Khans.

How many presidential campaigns have YOU personally worked on and I don't mean licking envelopes ( which nobody does any more, but that's how far back at the game, I go ! ) on a winning or even a losing side ? I doubt any at all.

The "mushy" STUPIDS will forget this, by the time November rolls around. Trust me, they won't remember this 2 weeks from now.

I know he did. Trump has to look at them in ideological terms. And he’s right.

I guess it’s good we got Andrew’s people peering behind the curtains.

Well, this attack on Trump is utterly nonsensical.

Only to the informed, not the headline readers.

Pssssssssssssssssst...and the DNC and the Clintons knew about this man since at least '05. There are quite a few threads on FR alone, and more all over the net, about this family.

The father has an office in NYC, with a D.C, phone #, he advertises that he can bring in whole families on certain kind of visas ( the kind that are abused...VERY ABUSED, by terrorists ), from Muslim nations; for a PRICE. He's a filthy lawyer, acting like a "coyote".
