Khizr Khan to Trump: This Isn’t Your America
“Would anyone who isn’t you have a place in your America?”

Khiz Khan, the father of a slain U.S. Army captain who shot to fame for his fierce criticism of Donald Trump, lashed out at the Republican presidential nominee one last time before Election Day. Speaking at a rally for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire on Sunday, Khan tore apart Trump’s vision for America. “Would Muslims have a place in your America? Would Latinos have a place in your America? Would African-Americans have a place in your America, Donald Trump?” he asked. “Would anyone who isn’t you have a place in your America? Well, thankfully, Mr. Trump, this isn’t your America.” Khan, who’s been relentless in his criticism of Trump throughout the presidential race, brought the house down with a speech denouncing Trump at the Democratic National Convention in July. Trump responded by waging an attack against Khan and his wife, Ghazala. Adding insult to injury, he also later claimed the couple’s son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, would not have been killed in Iraq in 2004 if Trump was serving as president at that time.
