(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.

This bastard is dancing on his son’s grave to get attention. Go back to a country where your sacred quoran rules.
What I find galling is that, had Capt Kahn not been killed, and had he accepted an invitation to address the DNC as did a MOH awardee, he’d have been jeered and boo’d .. but his dad, oh, he get kudos and endless hours of celebrity and attention as he promotes bringing ever more Muslims into the USA.
Our media is shameless in its complicity with the Clinton campaign. Just shameless.
He's too busy getting his fellow-travelers passage into this country.
For all we know, he might have been the one that got the Tsarnaevs and the San Bernardino terrorists here.
Since Khan reverberated with the media and gave them a chance to scream that Trump is easily distracted merely because he chose to respond to Khan, they are going to ramp up the pressure from Khan.
Can't blame them one bit.
OTOH, the best way for Trump to handle Khan is to let his surrogates do the dirty work. And they should blast Khan as a Muslim Brotherhood agent and keep pounding that issue until they can link it to Huma.
I would Start running with this line and sticking with it;
“If it weren’t for the failed leadership provided by Obama and Hillary Clinton,,, the same candidate you back for President, your son would still be alive today Mr. Kahn.”
I’ve been saying this for weeks. This is a job for Katrina Pierson not for anyone else. Cory L gets yelled at , cut off and he isn’t very fast on his feet. Katrina will talk over you.
One small example of this war;
Justin Bieber turns down 5million to perform during RNC
http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/30/12333406/justin-bieber-5-million-perform-RNC
Sources “connected with [Creative Artists Agency]” told TMZ that the singer seriously considered the offer before turning it down at the request of his manager, Scooter Braun (who threatened to quit), and after he was encouraged to do so by LeBron James, whom the GOP group claimed would also be in the area. Braun has hosted fundraisers for the Democratic party in the past.
Thanks, That SHOULD be the headline. Can you get that to Hannity; he’s been good on this matter.
Very good! Trump is in a huge battle taking on the press. The media is trying to control the country through PC.
Katrina and Newt should double team Khan.
How dare Kahn insult a veteran who has received a Purple Heart by telling him what he can and can’t do with his metal! Mr Kahn who has no military experience should immediately apologize for this insult!
The DNC is bringing massive pressure on Khan to get in the fight. His career hangs in the balance.
Is it possible he joined the Military among other reasons was to attain citizenship?
Who knew that the Dems (who are doing everything they can to eliminate the last vestiges of this nation and replace it with an entirely different unrecognizable New America) have now become such huge proponents of the Vietnam War?
Perhaps the Dem candidate’s husband Bill can come out and tell us how much he thinks everybody should have rushed to join up to fight in Nam and no legal exemptions should have been used. I find it actually repulsive that after gutting the military and spending decades attacking it, the Dems are now pretending to be in love with the US military (what a joke) and are attempting to paint Trump as anti-military, even though he has been an extreme proponent of the military and vets rights since he declared his candidacy over a year ago. And of course, CNN quotes Trump without noting that he was joking and got laughs from the audience.
I have to say, seeing the 2+2=5 thought-policed, heavily manipulated and rigged society we live in is starting to make me lose faith again that the nation can be saved. The success of Trump in the primaries gave me a little hope again, but I really don’t know anymore. I’m starting to think it’s better to just expect the country to burn and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t…
Khan’s son did not get the MOH. He was posthumously awarded a purple heart and a bronze star.
I was referring to the MOH awardee who DID address the DNC who was jeered, amid shouts of “no more war,” not to Kahn’s son.
Sorry; I read your post incorrectly the first time.
“I’m starting to think it’s better to just expect the country to burn and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t…”
I’m starting to think that it would be a good thing if the country burned.
I don’t even recognize this country anymore.
