Report: Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe Urged Khizr Khan To Run For Office

Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe wants Muslim Gold Star father Khizr Khan to run for office, Khan tells Britain’s Guardian. Khan said that a run for office “would limit him,” the Guardian reports. Reached by Breitbart News, McAuliffe’s communications director said he would decline to comment on a private conversation, but called Khan a “great Virginian” and thanked him for his and his son’s service.

Khan arrived on the national stage during the Democratic National Convention in August, when he held up a copy of the U.S. Constitution and called Donald Trump “ignorant.” Khan’s son, Army captain Humayun Khan, was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004 and awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star Medal. Trump “sacrificed nothing and no one,” Khan said at the time.

Khan has written positively about sharia law. Other laws “must always be subordinated” to Islam’s, he wrote while living in Saudi Arabia in 1983. He also made money representing wealthy foreign clients trying to secure U.S. visas for themselves and their families, in a program critics say is “riddled” with fraud.

I call him Minister Khan... in the vein of Minister Louie Farrakhan.. This turkey Khan, really ticked me off.. as well as all those ‘snowflakes’ gasping, when President Trump called him out.

Gold Star father
= = = = = = = = = = = = =

I know Gold Star Mothers have been around for a long time.

When did we start to ‘officially’ refer to Gold Star Fathers?

Sounds like another ‘touchy-feely’ hijack of a great idea.

Notice when we were pummeled with the ‘woman make less than men’ and when it was pointed out the one of the reasons was from ‘back in the day’ where men worked and supported the family while a woman wasn’t ‘expected’ to support a household.
So when child birth was brought up and the time ‘lost’ due to it, rather than say - YES, that does explain a lot, WE (collectively) figured we would give MEN just as much time off for pregnancy etc etc. NOW we can’t use that as an ‘excuse’.

Even baseball players taking time off during a pennant race because the wife is pregnant......

I used to say that I had to be a stupid employer for hiring all those men when I could have hired women and put a buck or two an hour in my pocket. <: <: <:

If Trump has ignored Khan, he would have been promptly forgotten.

What? And ignore 'The Snake'... Minister Khan needed an American finger in his ugly face.

And of those thousands killed, how many were killed by Muslims? ALL OF THEM - and in some cases, they were killed by Muslim “allies”...

Like Holland, the US is looking at a situation where despite the enemedia lies, the far left and far right agree that Islam is incompatible with our way of life (however each extreme determines that). On the ground, lefties know that Islam is the worst thing to ever happen to women and homosexuals.

It was revealed that Khan ran some type of porn-y website.
