President obama hosted a state dinner for Prime Minister of singapore last night. But the white house visit was overshadowed by the political firestorm over Donald Trumps criticism of a gold star family. The muslim parents of a u. S. Army captain, killed in iraq, drew the wrath of trump. After they spoke at the Democratic National convention. Margaret brennan asked the president about the controversy during a News Conference with the Prime Minister of singapore. Nominees recent comments about the khan family and his statement that if president he would consider recognizing russias annexation of crimea does it make you question his fitness to be president . Yes. I think the republican nominee is unfit to serve as president. I said so last week. And he keeps on proving it. The notion that he would att a gold star family that had made such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our country. The fact that he he doesnt appear to have basic knowledge around Critical Issues in europe, in the middle east, in asia, means that he is woefully and this is not just my opinion, i think whats been interesting is the repeated denunciations of his statements by leading republicans. Including the speaker of the house, and the Senate Majority leader, and prominent republicans like john mccain, and the question i think that they have to ask themselves is if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has the said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him . Major garrett has more. Reporter plenty of donald Trump Supporters believe the controversy with the khan family is a Media Obsession if not media invention. List of critics of trump is extensive, members of congress some of whom spoke at his own convention and veterans of foreign wars where trump spoke last week. Raised eyebrows further yesterday by calling Hillary Clinton the devil, and suggesting novembers election well it just might be fixed. Horrible things were said about me. I think it was frankly very tough. All i did is respond i will always respond. Reporter donald trump did not apologize to the parents of humayan khan. Hypothetical World Without the war that killed him. If i were president , his son wouldnt have died. I wouldnt have been in the war. Trump pointed to calls to crack down on immigration as the the possible reason for the criticism. When you have radical islamic terrorists, probably all over thousand. I think thats what bothered mr. Khan. The head of veterans of foreign wars said the vfw will not tolerate any one berating a gold star Family Member for exercising right of speech or expression. Donald trump will restore law and order. Trumps runningmate, indiana governor mike pence was asked to defend the comments by the mother of an air force officer. His disrespect for mr. Khan is an example of that. First pence had to quiet the boos from supporters. Captain khan is an american hero, we honor him and his family as we do all gold star families. In ohio monday afternoon without provocation or context, trump suggested novembers election may not be above board. Im afraid the election is going to be rigged, have to be honest. Later in pennsylvania send this about Bernie Sanders and his endorsement of Hillary Clinton. She is the devil. He made a deal with the devil. He seems to be going out of groups. Frequent trump critic, Arizona Republican senator jeff flake said trumps routine works for the converted but falls short everywhere else. There have been enough statements that are just so outlandish that in the end, he simply cant win a general election. Trumpit ailes. In an interview with usa today, trump said he would look to think daughter ivanka would find another career or company if subject to sexual harassment.
