But one man, standing next to his wife, neither of them before in the national spotlight, delivered a speech thats reverberated across american politics. Lisa desjardin wraps up today on the campaign trail. Reporter for donald trump, today was the day for a rust belt swing of battleground states. Thank you reporter stopping this afternoon in ohio, and later, in pennsylvania. But on twitter this morning, the republican nominee stepped back into daysold questioning criticizing the gold star parents of a fallen army captain, humayun khan, who died in iraq in 2004. Trump said khizr khan, the soldiers father, viciously attacked me from the stage of the Democratic National convention, and is now all over tv doing the same. That Convention Speech last thursday made headlines. Have you even read the u. S. Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery . Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of america. You have sacrificed nothing and no one. Reporter trump first pushed back in an abc news interview that aired sunday, questioning i think i have made a lot of sacrifices. Ive worked very, very hard. Ive created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs, built great structures. Reporter reaction has been swift from both political parties. From president obama speaking to disabled veterans in atlanta today no one has given more to our freedom than gold star families. We have grieved with them. Reporter . To Senate Republicans mired in reelection fights. Arizonas john mccain a former white house hopeful himself. He said in a statement that trumps nomination does not give him unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us. Senator kelly ayotte of New Hampshire wrote, i am appalled that donald trump would disparage the khan family. And there were more missouris roy blunt, ohios rob portman, pennsylvanias pat toomey, and wisconsins ron johnson, all today separated themselves from trump.

Trump himself had addressed his democratic counterpart, Hillary Clinton, is in nebraska today, but spoke about all this yesterday during her own rust belt tour to launch an attack as he did on captain khans mother, a gold star mother, i dont know where the bounds are. I dont know where the bottom is. Reporter team trump, though, has a different take. Trumps v. P. Nominee, indiana governor mike pence, said in his own statement that the khan family should be cherished by every american. But pence went on to attack someone else president obama and Hillary Clinton, whom he blames for the rise of isis and threat to the american military. Trump Campaign Chairman paul manafort, also hit that theme on sundays face the nation the issue is not mr. Khan and donald trump. The issue really is radical jihad radical Islamic Jihad and the risk to the american homeland. Thats the issue. Reporter even as the controversy continues, trump is scheduled to press on with his swing state tour, with stops in virginia and florida in the coming days. For the pbs newshour, im lisa desjardins. Woodruff and with me now are khizr and ghazala khan. Thank you very much, eboth of you, for being here and condolences to both of you on the loss of your son. Thank you. Woodruff your lives have changed since thursday night, havent they . Yes, certainly, for the better. The love and support has just lessened our burdens so very much from all directions, from all levels. There has been just pouring of affection, pouring of condolences and support. It has just been amazing to all over again see the goodness of this society, goodness of this country. Woodruff donald trump tweeted this morning, mr. Khan, who does not know me, viciously attacked me from the stage of the d. N. C. And is now all over tv doing the same. Nice. He does seem irritated by your talking to the news media. What do you say to him about that . We are in the political process of the greatest democracy on the planet earth. He is candidate for the highest office of this nation. He has to have the patience and tolerance for criticism. Him and i have same equal rights. In his eyes, he thinks that he can criticize people, but no one else can criticize. That is not the value of this country. Woodruff mrs. Khan, donald trump and his advisors are saying that what this is really is about is about radical islamic terrorism, and he says thats what everybody should be talking about. I think he doesnt know the islam. I actually dont want to talk about him or, if in my eyes the people who know islam, they wont say these things. Islam is a peaceful religion, and im really proud of my religion. So i still dont understand why hes so upset about that i didnt say anything at that time. Woodruff ar youre referring to his comment about the fact that you didnt speak at the convention but have been speaking since. Yes. Woodruff what do you make of his constant connection between islam the faith and what he calls radical islamic terrorism . He connects the two directly. I dont think he should do that, but it is his beliefs. I can take criticism from him. I can take it, but i believe that he should not do that. Woodruff mr. Khan, what about that . Because donald trump has quoted a poll last year that he said shows more than 50 of american muslims believe there should be sharia law which advocates violent acts against women and violent, effect, terrorism . Sharia law cannot be implemented in this United States because this distorted sharia law is against the basic principle of equal dignity, equal protection of law in the United States. What are we talking about . These are political statements to gather hatred and create dislike. I would like to sit down and talk about what sharia law are we talking about . There is no such thing. These are laws of these countries, hodgepodge of various british colonized time laws legal system. There is no such thing. The United States has the islamic law which is equal protection of law under the 14t14th amendment. Therefore, there is no fear except fear mongers make it fear. Unless we amend our constitution and take out the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, sure, we can talk about sharia law coming in and sneaking in here. Otherwise, there is no place for that. Woodruff mrs. Khan, donald trump on his web site refers to all muslims should be banned for a time in this country. He now says all muslims coming from countries where there is violent, as he puts it, islamic terrorism should be subject to additional scrutiny and background checks. Do you think thats fair . Does that make sense . I believe that we should be really our security should be really tight to let them in, but i do not believe they should be banned, because there are lots of innocent people in these countries. They want to come out for their childrens life, for their life, show we should not ban anything without looking into it because there are lots of people who want to come out of those countries, and they are innocent. They dont have to do anything with terrorism. Woodruff mr. Khan, what about that . Of course, we agree that there should be the strictest standards to scrutinize, make sure we only allow good people, we dont allow bad people. But then what . Last few incidences have indicated these are homegrown, bad people. How do you deal with that . How would you scrutinize through immigration . Theyre born here. Therefore, to deal with it is to join hands with the community, make it known that the community is part of the society, the community has an obligation to monitor themselves while they are in this community. Terrorism, manners of terrorism cannot be defeated by army, by military action. If it was possible, this would have already taken place. Woodruff two other quick things. Mrs. Khan, Many Americans say more american muslims need to speak out against terrorism. True. I believe that. We should all get together and speak that terrorism is not the answer. You always get respect and love when you love someone. Woodruff and finally, mr. Khan, some of Donald Trumps supporters are saying you and mrs. Khan were tricked into doing this by the Clinton Campaign. Not at all. We were not district. We were given an option. She was the editor of my speech that was about six pages long. She kept editing and saying dont say this or this. I rely on her strength and support and guidance so that speech became three minutes long speech, and the constitution came into play. I carry this in mpocket out of affection for this document. At home, we have a stack of it sitting. Anytime a guest comes, we give them a copy of it. Amazon says they have not sold that many constitutions ever. These are good civic lessons. Anybody who picks up the constitution and reads it begins to realize the wonderful values that exist and begins to see the goodness of this country. The same thing is on registration of vote. Its a sacred right that democracy gives us. Lots of us dont use it, but if somehow we were able to encourage, i think it was worth. Woodruff mr. Khizr khan and gay Salia Woodruff and the Trump Campaign did not respond to repeated requests to provide a spokesperson for an interview today. Ifill for more on the fight between donald trump and the khan family; his recent comments on russias intervention in the ukraine; and Hillary Clintons weekend outreach to rustbelt voters, its time for politics monday with tamara keith of npr, and amy walter of the cook political report. Woodruff you just heard ghaa to judy the response to Donald Trumps feud that, whatever it is, i can take it. We heard warren buffet on behalf of Hillary Clinton say have you no decency . You made no sacrifice. We heard john mccain cold but not withdraw his endorsement today of donald trump. I wonder starting with you amy whether its ever a good thing to have to defend yourself by tweet . No, but at the same time nothing about this campaign has seemed normal. The traditional candidate response to a speech like mr. Khan gave would be to say, my condolences for your loss. Here is my differences of opinion on the policy of it, right . I differed with Hillary Clinton and the Obama Administration on the war on terror, i disgreerd with mr. Bush on the war in iraq in the first place. But that is the answer a traditional politician would give. I feel irked come out with a tape recorder and say nothing he does is like a traditional politician lever do. His supporters i think be will continue to rally around him, be but every day in campaign is about donald trump and his messaging, which is not which is about him and not about the bigger, broader issues, i dont think thats a good day for donald trump. Ifill Hillary Clinton was asked about the benghazi mom who spoke at the republican convention, and what was her reaction . Her reaction was more the typical politician answer thank you for your family service, i cant begin to understand your loss, that kind of thing and then she did get to the question of whether she remembered it the same way. But she remained respectful throughout, and you wouldnt call it a feud. Thats the difference is in the way Hillary Clinton answered, it ended up. Up it ended there. George w. Bush, Cindy Sheehan was parked outside his ranch for a very long time protesting him ifill 2008. T was earlier, i think it was maybe even 2004, and george w. Bush said that is her right, that is her right to protest, that is her right to say anything she wants about me because this is america, actually. Ifill thats what america allows for. Lets move on to Something Else donald trump had to say this weekend. He was asked this week by George Stephanopoulos about his views of ukraine and russia and relationship with Vladimir Putin and this was his response. Hes not going to go into ukraine, all right . You can mark it down, you can put it down, take it anywhere you want. Hes already there isnt he. There in a certain way. Im not there. You have obama there. That part of the world is a mess under obama with all of the strength youre talk about and the power of n. A. T. O. And all of this, in the mean time, hes going away he takes crimea reporter but you said you might recog
