Trump NY Co-Chair Doubles Down: Khan Is A Disgrace To His Son's Memory [View all]
Source: Talking Points Memo
Carl Paladino, the co-chair for Donald Trump’s campaign in New York, said that Khizr Khan's remarks at the Democratic National Convention demonstrated a "lack of character and backbone" that dishonored his son, a Muslim-American soldier killed in combat.
In a Sunday email to BuzzFeed News, Paladino slammed Khan for his "lack of objectivity and submission to Hillary’s hideous effort to compel him to disgrace the memory of his son." He also questioned Khan's motivations, saying that Clinton's staff "obviously wrote the speech."
"She even bought him the pocket constitution," Paladino claimed, "which he probably never read but also returned to the staff after the speech." Paladino went on to accuse Khan of "advocating for Islamist terrorists" and communicating "with terrorist individuals and organizations," implying that this motivated Khan's remarks.
He did not provide evidence to support either claim.
