Eric Trump on father's feud with fallen soldier's parents

CBS This Morning ^ | 8/2/2016 | CBS This Morning

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's son, Eric, is executive vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization. He joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his father's fight with the parents of fallen soldier, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, and his comments on women being sexually harassed by former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

In this interview there are 3 CBS hacks attacking Eric Trump wanting to force him into an apology for the Kahn family. Eric stayed on message and on offense and slapped the 3 vampire hacks masterfully.

Day five.

Trump attack? I heard him ask why the mother didn’t speak, and said some say she wasn’t allowed to. That’s it. THAT’S an attack?

It was a very reasonable comment.

[MNDude]

Jeez! Just wish the media would SHUT UP about this dumb meaningless story!

[Typical_Whitey]

and on Sunday Hillary said Pat Smith had amnesia... can you imagine lying to a goldstar mom and then being called out on it and saying that the mom had amnesia... but the MSM snore. It is past time to flush the MSM, I believe nothing they say anymore they are an arm of the Hillary campaign.

[Aria]

We all knew the MSM/rats would do this. Here it is...in all it’s ugliness. I figure it will just get worse. They will twist, lie, insult...anything to try to get Trump’s supporters to abandon him.

[bigbob]

Why should they, they CREATED this story. It’s just the latest in a year-long string.

[Billthedrill]

Oh, yeah. I'm getting royally ticked about this one circulating through work and not one of the little sheep repeating it has the faintest idea what words were actually said. I'm the only vet in the place and they're reporting triumphantly that my candidate hates the military but they can't say why, only that if it's on NPR you know it's true.

This is what a propaganda campaign looks like at its dirtiest and most pervasive and I'm losing a lot of respect even for its unwitting participants.

[mass55th]

These media mutts make me laugh. They’re pulling the same crap about apologizing that they did with George W. Bush. Kahn started this all by denouncing Trump on a national stage. Who cares if he’s a Gold Star father. When he opened his mouth to spew his hate, he put himself out there for criticism. Why should Trump sit back and not say anything about those comments. These people think that just because of what they’ve gone through, that they can say or do whatever they want, and not be called on it. When you lied down with dogs Mr. Kahn, you were bound to wake up with fleas. Have fun getting rid of them.

[GilGil]

The problem is that Trump has 23 million subscriber on social media. With re-tweets Trump reaches 46-69 million for each of his messages. The media cannot overcome this kind of audience and spin their lies. Just won’t work.

Charlie Rose the suck from NPR ....Screw them and the money they suck out of our TAXES....I would like to see them operate on an even scale with the radio stations...F k big bird. How many here remember the filmed set-up with actors playing Middle east persons offering money for favorable reporting? These people are Big money mouthpieces nothing more and what is worse none of them allow their children to serve (not that that matters)...so fkin false...I would have not been as kind as Eric...I would have called each of these communist bitches and bastard out for what they are....but he held his ground....screw CBS/NBC/ABC/MSNBC...and FOX...we have no media. I forgot to add AP/Reuters and anything tied into reporting....oh ya UPI.

MUST READ: Blue Star Mom Responds To Muslim Father's Attacks On Trump

To the Muslim Gold Star father that spoke at the DNC…..I have some thoughts on your comments. I am a Blue Star mother. My deepest condolences on the loss of your son. No family should have to endure such a loss. That being said….while your son is a hero, you Sir, are NOT. My son has served three tours of combat in the countries you and your family came from. Iraq and Afghanistan were his introduction to adulthood and service to something bigger than our individual selves. He was blown up by an IED set by your countrymen. His Purple Heart is a testament to his love of America and our freedoms. I have suffered through his multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan….never knowing from moment to moment if he would return home in a flag draped coffin. It is torture when a mother wakes up to this day after day and sees the atrocities happening over there on the news and being helpless to change a thing. My comments to you will probably offend you. I do not apologize. These things need to be said. Unlike you, I could NEVER use my son’s death as a pawn piece in support of a woman that left “America’s treasure” (Hillarys words) to die unaided in Benghazi. The same woman that says vile things to her military details there to protect her. You, Sir, are supposed to be a witness to your son’s bravery and sacrifice. Instead you stood on a stage and promoted the woman that upholds the very people that killed your son. You became a political PAWN that promotes pandering to our enemy. You desecrated your son’s memory by your words. You did not utter one word of outrage at anyone but Donald Trump. Are you forgetting that Trump did not kill your son. He had nothing whatsoever to do with these wars. His memory should mean more to you than five minutes of fame on the stage of the party that voted to send your son to war. The same party that for eight years has denied and cheated our veterans out of their deserved medical care. Who for the last three years has cut our veterans pay. Of note…your wife stood SILENT. She stood with her head covered, never uttering a word about her loss. She submitted to you being her voice in front of the country. She abdicated her free voice to you…..as would any good Sharia wife and mother. Let me say, this was not lost on the other American military moms….myself included. Had it been my son being “used” as a political PROP, no one could have silenced me. I would be voicing my grief, my pride, my love of him to the world. A man cannot speak to a mothers loss. No man knows her heart at the loss of a child. She did her heroic son a disservice by her silence. She should have uncovered her head and her heart to be the American mother you claim. And last if all….you dared to flash your picket Constitution and ask if Trump has read it. I dare to ask you, Sir….HAVE YOU READ IT? If you say yes, then I dare ask you HOW you could represent that party? HOW can you support this woman? How can you affiliate your family with a party and candidate that cannot even call the radicals that killed your son what they are? How can you support a current administration that diminishes your son’s death by denying he had an enemy? And if you have read our Constitution, how could you cover your soulmate in colorful submissive sheets and have the audacity to speak FOR her? Your son died for that Constitution you so carelessly waved around on national TV in support of the very party that exists to destroy it. As a soldier’s mother….NO ONE could ever speak for me. I find your outrage artificial. I find your party affiliation offensive. I find your wife’s silence atrocious and offensive. I find YOU a political FOOL. I find your son to have been your greatest accomplishment, and you, Sir, have dishonored him. I hope you memorize that picket constitution so you will understand what it means to be a REAL American and hero. You are not one. You were USED. Your son WOULD NOT be proud of you. My only hope is that when MY son goes a fourth time to combat radical Islamic terrorist’s, ( and he WILL) he will know that his mother never stood submissively SILENT about an American hero. Yes, your son was a hero that could not be manipulated but, you, Sir, are a weak minded FOOL. I would love to hear your thoughts this morning about the 1500 American soldiers on the air base in Turkey being held as basic hostages as I type. Not a word from this president or party you adore…or the media that so thoroughly manipulated and used you and your wife. So…what say you Sir??? What will you say to a Blue and Gold Star family if these heroes die? In my opinion, you will say NOTHING.

[Aria]

Good point. I’m assuming that NONE of his followers trust a thing the media says anymore.

The media act like little girls with their undies in a wad.

[SubMareener]

Eric did very well. It will be interesting what more will be revealed about the Kahns before the MSM gives up on this.

[cymbeline]

I wish Eric had asked the three interviewers why they had such glum, serious, antagonistic expressions on their faces.

[EDINVA]

And today, Mr. Wood, another Benghazi parent who Hillary lied to as their sons’ coffins were brought in, just happened to have his own contemporaneous notes of that meeting and Hillary!’s telling them about how they will arrest the film maker responsible for their sons’ death. Just absolutely remarkable that all those people mis-heard her. Remarkable!
