5. 'She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say.'
Trump's July 2016 remarks, made in the wake of a widely hailed Democratic National Convention speech by Kzir and Ghazala Khan, the parents of the late Army Captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in action in Afghanistan.
In a fiery speech, Mr. Khan lashed out at what he described as Trump's bigotry and lack of regard for civil liberties, saying, "Let me ask you, have you even read the U.S. Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy."
Trump laced into the Khans, reserving particular scorn for Mrs. Khan,
remarking to ABC News that "If you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me."
In an
op-Ed published in The Washington Post, Mrs. Khan said she was too overcome by grief to speak.'
“Walking onto the convention stage, with a huge picture of my son behind me, I could hardly control myself. What mother could?” she wrote. “Donald Trump has children whom he loves. Does he really need to wonder why I did not speak?”
