Gold Star father Khizr Khan fundraising for the Democrats – Washington Examiner

Category: Democrats

Gold Star father Khizr Khan is raising money for Democrats.

Khan, father of a Muslim U.S. soldier killed in 2004 in Iraq, appears in a fundraising email from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

"I love this country. My son died for this country," he begins. "But today, President Trump is tearing down everything that makes America great. It's the fight of my life to stop him: And I know taking back the House is the best way to do it."

Khan rose to fame during the 2016 presidential campaign after his rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention, when he asked candidate Donald Trump if he had ever read the Constitution. He later became a leading voice against Trump's two travel bans aimed at some Muslim-majority countries.

Khan says he would walk "barefoot to every district in the country if it means Democrats win" a line he has used before but that he can't do it alone. Then comes the pitch for donations that Khan says he is "counting on."
