Khizr Khan, Gen. Allen: Trump Lacks Respect And Fitness To Serve As Commander-in-Chief
Thursday, Gen. John Allen (ret.) and Gold Star father Khizr Khan joined a press call to condemn Donald Trump’s continuing attacks on the United States military, our veterans, and their families. While Gen. Allen and Mr. Khan spoke from their own distinct perspectives, both assailed Trump as temperamentally unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief, disrespectful toward our troops, ill-informed about military operations, and unwilling to educate himself.
Below are excerpts from their remarks:
– Khizr Khan
– Gen. John Allen (ret.)
“I want to address him directly. Donald Trump: Your practice of division and hatred is unacceptable to America. Your practice of hatred and division is not according to American values that we know. You have constantly, and your surrogates have constantly, practiced disrespect and indignity towards my sisters and daughters, the women of the United States. It’s unacceptable.”
– Khizr Khan
– Gen. John Allen (ret.)
“If you aspire to be the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United States, you have proven yourself disqualified temperamentally. You are neither capable, nor [are you] willing to learn.”
– Khizr Khan
– Gen. John Allen (ret.)
