Khan family react to Donald J. Trump's latest comments, telling ABC News in an emotional interview that "running for president is not an entitlement to disrespect Gold Star families and Gold Star mother."
He attempted to tarnish those who gave their life. He demeaned military service. He condemned an American family who held strong ideals of an America by an American Pakistani family. Ugly little turd Trump is.
