Evan McAllister was 23 years old when he fought in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in 2006. He killed men and buried friends. Eight years later, he watched the same city fall to the Islamic State.
To McAllister, a former Marine staff sergeant and scout sniper instructor, the war he fought was a harebrained mission planned by Republicans, rubber-stamped by Democrats and, in the end, lost to al-Qaedas brutal successor. The foreign policy establishment of both parties got his friends killed for no reason, he said, so come Election Day, he is voting for the man he believes answers to neither Democrats nor Republicans: Donald Trump.

The Gold Star family attacked him first.
...and, Trump did not disrespect a Gold Star family. He made a valid observation, and the LSM twisted it to suit their needs. Of course, the ‘conservative’ media went along for the ride, too.
Why?
Gee, I dunno.
Maybe because good kids can come from bad parents.
(and visa versa)
Just because a kid is good doesn’t mean the parents are good.
Who knows, maybe the kid joined and was patriotic, etc to defy scum bucket and Islamic parents?
Duh?
I knew a couple.
They had 3 kids.
One was good.
The other two were really, really bad.
Not the parents’ fault....they did their best to instill honor, honesty, etc.
But sometimes someone is simply bad.
Like his parents, the Dad in particular.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
There are gold star families and there are gold star families...
Hey Whopper, why don’t you run another story on Valerie Plame. Just for old times slime.
He said the mother wasn’t talking. How is that insulting or disrespectful?
Here we go again.
He didn’t ‘insult a “Gold Star Family”
He insulted the murderous cult they belong to, that doesn’t allow women to speak.
Only a Democrat or RINO or an idiot or someone insane would fail to figure this out.
Individuals can be individuals....duh?
Sheesh! A basket of rocks has more smarts than a lot of people.
MSM should be asking how any Military person can vote for Clinton given her record in Benghazi. This goldstar family crap is bs. The media doesn’t give a damn about the military and the Muslim shill for Hillary standing atop his son to lift up the women who helped put his son in his grave should be ashamed.
So vets are to cuddle up with the Butcher of Bengazi? Right
Gold Star family my ass. Anti-american, pro Muslim demosocialists is more like it. I don’t see many veterans taking Khan’s side...
Maybe they saw how Hillary treated other Gold Star Families by flat-out lying to them and then about them.
Cindy Sheehan comes to mind as an example of a parent whose kid was a hero, but his mother was a nut job.
This vet supports him.
This vet is way, way, WAY superior to the b*tch in every way.
Shove it, MSM.
The son was killed by Islam.
The shameful father was a shill for Hillary.
Everyone has a price.
Donald Trump didn’t insult Gold Star families. He upset a mother and father that chose to use the death of their son for political purpose that fought and lost his life for this country.
Truth is, vets may not like anyone bashing a Gold Star family, but they are also astute enough to recognize when an anti-American scum (Clinton) is assaulting the country using a willing dupe (and a muslim at that) as the tool to do it with.
Gold star means nothing if you pimp out the dead family member to a political cause. Especially if it is to a traitorous bribe-taking islam-loving military-hating liar like Hillary.
