Trump Angers Gold Star Families

Dirt bag, racist, egomaniac Trumppileofshit has offended all Vets and families who have lost family to war. Someone should take this sucker out, like the traitor he is.

From VoteVets.org:

Karen Meredith, who lost her son in Iraq and now serves as the Military Families Coordinator at VoteVets, wrote to Donald Trump expressing her dismay with his treatment of Captain Humayun Khan's family.

She was joined by the family members of sixteen fallen service-members who signed the letter, as well. We hope that you will read the letter below and add your name to theirs demanding Donald Trump apologize to the Khan family for his offensive and anti-American comments.

Mr. Trump,
We are all Gold Star Families, who have lost those we love the most in war. Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.

Your recent comments regarding the Khan family were repugnant, and personally offensive to us. When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us. When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice.

You are not just attacking us, you are cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost.

You are minimizing the risk our service members make for all of us.

This goes beyond politics. It is about a sense of decency. That kind decency you mock as "political correctness."

We feel we must speak out and demand you apologize to the Khans, to all Gold Star families, and to all Americans for your offensive, and frankly anti-American, comments.

We hope you will hear us.

Sincerely,
