Clinton accuses Trump of scapegoating Muslim soldier's parents
US presidential candidate Clinton accused Trump of scapegoating killed Muslim soldier.
Speaking at a church service, Clinton said Trump had been insulting to a family who had sacrificed so much. She also used the episode to contrast her own religious faith with that of Trump.
“I don’t begrudge anyone of any other faith or of no faith at all, but I do tremble before those who would scapegoat other Americans, who would insult people because of their religion or ethnicity" Clinton said
“It’s just not how I was raised, that’s not how I was taught in my church. Tim Kaine and I are people of faith” she said, referring to her vice presidential running mate, who is a Catholic.
Top Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said : “Many Muslim Americans have served valiantly in our military, and made the ultimate sacrifice. Captain Khan was one such brave example, His sacrifice should always be honored. Period.” Ryan said.
