(CNN)Khizr Khan on Tuesday accused Donald Trump of dodging the Vietnam War draft, and said he shouldn't have accepted a Purple Heart given to him at a rally earlier in the day, deeming it the latest sign of his inability to empathize with parents of fallen soldiers.
"You dodged the draft," Khan, a Muslim whose son was slain in the Iraq War, said of Trump to CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Put that Purple Heart back on that person's chest."
A military veteran supporting Trump had gifted the Republican presidential nominee his Purple Heart, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.

It’s been shown in numerous articles now that this Khan character is a self-serving slime ball and an utter phony.
In a sane world, he would be utterly discredited and disgraced.
Arrogant little bastard isn’t he? Yet another attack on Trump, and now he attacks the choice of another wounded veteran.
This is what we will have with Muslims.
Yeah, khan doens’t have more than a grieving parent’s interest here, does here.
Hoping this will beging to backfire as Americans get sick of him and his spewing hate towards Trump.
He’s this election’s Cindy Sheehan - the DemocRAT’s cudgel that they believe cannot be repelled.
Without his attacks on Trump, we never would have heard of this family or soldier. Since when do liberals and democrats care about our soldiers? They think the VA is working great.
I’ve heard all I need to from that “Muzzie”. I feel for the loss of his son but would rather see the father sent back to Pakistan where he came from. We already have too many Muslims in this country.
Only the Democrats pay any attention to this Clinton Foundation backer and agent for Saudi Arabia.
He is making hay for the Dems over a tempest in a peepot.
I dont think Trump used the words “ easier than serving in combat”.
With the vet’s permission, I’d like to see Trump auction the medal and give the proceeds to a wounded vets’ organization.
Didn’t he just say yesterday he wanted to leave the limelight?
He’s a greasy, corrupt little sh*t and is only fit to be ignored.
Has anyone posted the William Shatner pic when this man is being discussed?
Khan is nobody. Can we please focus on defeating Hillary?
He does know just a little about the Military?
"THATS NOT THE SAME!!1!"
Well no, but it is a little bit more than Billy Clinton, Cankles and Ubama right?
You know, nothing at all.
At first I thought as many other people did, that if Trump had just left the Khan DNC speech alone and not mentioned it, that there would have been no controversy.
Now I’m beginning to see that the media would have used Khan anyway, whether Trump had responded or not, in this disgusting fashion to hit him on all things military.
Oh, and he should tread lightly on this “draft dodger” thing, or someone in the media might dredge up Bill’s infamous deferment.
what an ass, Khan was claiming over the weekend he didn’t want to be in a feud with Trump, but we can see he is an obsessive vicious hack fueling the story.....
Really? I'd bet he's the only person, since creation, who has.
