Trump Responds To Slain Soldier's Father, Who Appeals To GOP Leaders
Trump Responds To Slain Soldier's Father, Who Appeals To GOP Leaders
In an interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd Friday night, Trump didn't zero in on Khan's accusations but rather on his wife, Ghazala Khan, who stood beside her husband silently. His response to Dowd was brief.
"I'd like to hear his wife say something," Trump said.
Trump expanded on that sentiment in an interview with ABC News Saturday.
"If you look at his wife, she was standing there," Trump said. "Maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say, you tell me."
In an interview on MSNBC the previous night, Ghazala Khan explained why she chose to remain silent on stage.
"I cannot see my son's picture. I cannot even come in the room where his pictures are," she said. "That's why when I saw the picture on my back, I couldn't take it and I controlled myself at that time. So, it is very hard."
Her husband added that she served as his "coach" while writing the speech and said she gave him the strength to speak on stage.
"Forty years of marriage has brought us in a position where we are strength for one another," Khan said. "Her being there was the strength so I could hold my composure. I am much weaker than she is in such matters."
