If they can’t come to the
party and support the people’s choice they should keep in mind the old adage
“If you Can’t Say Something Nice, Don’t say anything.”
House
Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell made sharply
worded statements a Muslim couple over Donald Trump the GOP presidential
nominee who appeared at the Democratic convention, defying their GOP
presidential standard-bearer, Donald Trump.
The two
establishment republicans (who have been in office many years to long) and
can’t keep their mouths shut and at every opportunity bash Trump.
Mr.
Khan, had the chance provide us clarity and truth from a Muslim man who lost
his son 12 years ago, an American Soldier, to Islamists Terrorist.
Instead you took the opportunity to support
a sitting president and Hillary Clinton, who had abandoned Four Americans
in Benghazi at the hand of Islamist Terrorist and lied about it. Mr.
Khan, you had the chance as a Muslim family that stood with the principles,
values of liberty and freedom in which you have found a home.
He
chose to make a speech that politicized the death of their son at the hands of
Islamist terrorist and to benefit a wanna be president. Khizr
Khan, who during their appearance blasted the GOP nominee for his immigration
policies. Khizr Khan questioned at one point whether Trump had even read the
Constitution.
Trump implied that Ghazala
did not speak during the appearance because she was forbidden to since she is a
Muslim woman.
Ryan and
McConnell need to learn the background of Mr. Kahn before jumping to his
defense. Go

Ryan, McConnell supportive of Khans in
flap with Trump
McConnell
said Sunday that their son, Humayun Khan, an Army captain who was killed in
2004, was an "American hero," adding, "Like all Americans, I'm
grateful for the sacrifices that selfless young men like Capt. Khan and their
families have made in the war on terror."
The Khans have since
implored congressional Republicans, specifically McConnell and Ryan, to rescind
their endorsements of Trump.
McConnell did not do so in
his statement on Sunday. But he did not offer any words of support for Trump
either, instead reiterating his view that Trump's previous call to ban all
Muslims from entering the country is "simply contrary to American
values." Trump now says immigration should be stopped from countries with
links to terrorism.
Ryan echoed McConnell's
opposition to the earlier, religion-centered ban. "As I have said on numerous
occasions, a religious test for entering our country is not reflective of these
fundamental values. I reject it," Ryan said.
And he too was supportive
not just of the Khan's son, but the Khans themselves. "Many Muslim
Americans have served valiantly in our military and made the ultimate
sacrifice. Capt. Khan was one such brave example," Ryan said. "His
sacrifice — and that of Khizr and Ghazala Khan — should always be honored.
Period."
