Donald Trump sniped back at Khizr Khan, who delivered a memorable speech at the Democratic National Convention, with eight words: "I'd like to hear his wife say something."
In his address Thursday night, Muslim lawyer Khizr Khan talked about sacrifice and heroism of his son, Humayun.

That’s actually not true. But let’s not let facts get in the way.
Who are you voting for this election?
You obviously have an understanding problem.
You don’t understand what Trump is saying here.
This nation has a right to keep out those who would want to destroy it.
Trumps point was a valid one. The DNC convention, in case you did not notice, was not a funeral or a memorial for fallen American soldiers. It was a big fun festival built around the goal of getting Hillary elected.
The father was not grieving. He was trying to make political hay out of his dead son while his silent wife (women are 3/5ths of a person according to Saudi law) stood next to him like a paper weight.
Two of my kids and my SIL have been in Iraq. I’ve been in Afghanistan, as has my son. The husbands of both of my nieces have been in Iraq.
Since this couple is using their son’s death to suggest all Muslims can immigrate to America without a problem, I have no respect for them. None of the family I’ve got who have spent time in the ME - heck none of the guys I served with over there - support allowing significant Muslim immigration. I can see allowing some to come - interpreters who worked for us and who are in danger of being murdered for doing so...but other than that, no Muslims need to enter the US. As long as Islam is as much a political system as a religious one, it has no business in the USA.
She was right next to him on stage well behind a bit
Really? The dad stood on the grave of his hero son to promote the evil lying witch hiLIARy, while his wife stood there in submission with her head scarf. (Why don’t these Muslims make men wear something on their heads or bodies???)
Trumps reasons was perfect
What is a Muslim Lawyer? How are they different from American Lawyers?
BINGO! He chose to get into the arena.
The father “went there” by making his son’s death a political football. So just stuff it.
Bygolly is class of 98
This guy needs to be rounded up, debriefed and deported.
It is beyond doubt that the majority of Muslims support the Democrat party over the Republicans.
It was low to bring this man on stage to degrade his son’s bravery. I suppose they were trying to counter the families of fallen patriots who were rightly angry at Hillary and Obama.
Apples to Oranges. Trump had nothing to do with this man’s son.
The father turned his sons death into a political statement against Trump, who had said nothing about the son. Trump has a right to respond.
Bygolly, the thread title has been changed!
I’d like to hear from her, too, and for her to lose the headscarf.
Amen, Brother!
Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration would have kept him and his son out of America.
I have suspected that SEAL Team 6 was sacrificed.
