Christie: Inappropriate to criticize dead soldier’s parents
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has said that it’s inappropriate to criticize the parents of an American soldier killed in Iraq.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been engaged in an emotionally charged feud with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son, Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed by a suicide bomber.
The unfathomable pain of losing their son gives the Khans the right to say whatever they want, Christie said.
Khizr Khan gave an emotional tribute to his son last week at the Democratic National Convention that was also heavily critical of Trump.
Responding to comments from President Barack Obama that Trump isn’t qualified to be president, Christie said he has disqualified himself from giving comments like that because he said Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person in American history to be president.
