On the campaign trail on Sunday, Hillary Clinton criticized Donald Trumps repeated attacks on Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a deceased Muslim American soldier.

Clinton told the attendees at the Imani Temple, an African American Catholic church, that she does “tremble before those who would scapegoat other Americans.”

“Mr. Khan paid the ultimate sacrifice in his family, didn’t he?” Clinton said, according to Politico. “And what has he heard from Donald Trump? Nothing but insults and degrading comments about Muslims — a total misunderstanding of what made our country great, religious freedom, religious liberty. It’s enshrined in our Constitution, as Mr. Khan knows, because he’s actually read it.”

Clinton addressed Trump’s comments again later on Sunday during another campaign stop in Ohio.

“To launch an attack as he did on Captain Khan’s mother, a Gold Star mother, who stood there on that stage with her husband honoring the sacrifice of their son,” she told reporters, according to CBS News. “I don’t know where the bounds are. I don’t know where the bottom is.”

    Oh, Donnie … another ripped asshole for you, dude! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

  5. I predict we will reach it before long, if we have not already done so. In a just world, this would also mean the complete disintegration of the Republican Party; unfortunately, we live in this world.
