‘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.

Don’t forget,

what this Kahn episode ALSO exposed a lot of people supposedly on the right can’t be bothered with a bit of research (a two second search, for example), they would rather jump at any chance first to condemn Trump and what Trump had supposedly said/done.

They are perfectly happy to be LED (force-fed) by any lie from the ‘main stream’ whatever.

You are absolutely correct on that. As we learn more and more about how the media has been corrupted and made nothing more than an extension of the 'RAT party and their institutional moles inside our government, that anything that they print or broadcast must be checked and verified for accuracy. They simply cannot be trusted anymore.

Good post, but it’s simpler just to say Trump is telling the truth. Hillary and the rest of “Official Washington” have no idea what that is, except inasmuch as they can distort it, so it makes them confused and cross when they hear it.

Khizr, Ghazalal, and Humayun.

Good grief. Whatever happened to Mary, Joseph, John, Betty and Michael? Or even Huey, Dewey, and Louie? Or Larry, Curley, and Moe?

I don't know if ol' man Khan is a goat humper or not, but after one look at that hag calling herself his 'wife', I'd say he would be upgrading if he is.

>> Article: Meanwhile, hours after Breitbart News presented this information publicly in a coherent report on Monday, others in media engaged in willful distortion of the story’s origins

Yup, the MSM is the Country's greatest threat.

Doesn’t one of the killer sects encourage their members to lie and steal to advance their Jihad.

Khan has done Hillery’s taxes for years. He is a main go between Saudi Arabia’s money bags and the Clinton Foundation. He’s tied in with the Muslim brotherhood. Breitbart discovered this.
