PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The father of an Army captain — a Muslim-American killed in Iraq — has lead a strong condemnation of Donald Trump’s proposal to bar Muslims from entering the United States.
Khizr Khan is a Muslim who came to the U.S. from the United Arab Emirates. He’s accusing Trump of smearing the character of Muslims and other groups.
“Let me ask you, have you ever read the United State Constitution?” Khan said in his speech at the Democratic convention as he directed his words at the GOP presidential nominee.
Khan then said: “I will gladly lend you my copy.”
Khan says his late son wouldn’t have been allowed in the country if Trump’s ban was in place.
