Pence statement on Khan family contradicts Trump
Mike Pence issued a statement Sunday night praising both the late Humayun Khan and his Gold Star parents, and using the occasion to bash President Obama and Hillary Clinton:
“Donald Trump and I believe that Captain Humayun Khan is an American hero and his family, like all Gold Star families, should be cherished by every American.
Captain Khan gave his life to defend our country in the global war on terror. Due to the disastrous decisions of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, a once stable Middle East has now been overrun by ISIS. This must not stand.

By suspending immigration from countries that have been compromised by terrorism, rebuilding our military, defeating ISIS at its source and projecting strength on the global stage, we will reduce the likelihood that other American families will face the enduring heartbreak of the Khan family.
Donald Trump will support our military and their families and we will defeat the enemies of our freedom.”
Earlier, Donald Trump referred to the fallen solider as a “hero” but criticized his parents, saying they have “no right” to criticize him. No “cherishing” was mentioned. So, what, exactly, is the position of the Trump campaign?
