so i want a country where citizens like you and your family are just as welcome as anyone else. thank you, secretary clinton. mr. trump, in december, you said this. donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states until our country s representatives can figure out what the hell is going on. we have no choice. we have no choice. your running mate said this week that the muslim ban is no longer your position. that correct? and if it is, was it a mistake to have a religious test? first of all, captain khan is an american hero. and if i were president at that time he would be alive today. because unlike her, who voted for the war without knowing what she was doing, i would not have had our people in iraq. iraq was a disaster. so he would have been alive today. the muslim ban is something that
questions, talking about our agenda, laying out the plans that we have that we think request make a better life and a better country, that s his choice. when i hear something like that, i am reminded of what my friend michelle obama advised us all. when they go low you go high. [ cheering ] and look, if this were just about one video, maybe what he is saying tonight would be understandable. but everyone can draw their own conclusions at this point about the man in the video or the man in the stage respects women. but he never apologizes for anything to anyone. he never apologized to mr. and mrs. khan, the gold star family whose son captain khan died in the line of duty in iraq. and donald insulted and attacked
from a lot of muslim americans across our country. because unfortunately, there has been a lot of very divisive, dark things said about muslims. and even someone like captain khan, the young man who sacrificed himself defending our country in the united states army has been subject to attack by donald. i want to say just a couple of things. first, we ve had muslims in america since george washington. and we ve had many successful muslims. we just lost a particularly well-known one with muhammed ali. my vision of america is an america where everyone has a place if you re willing to work hard, you do your part, you contribute to the community. that s what america is. that s what we want america to be for our children and our grandchildren. it s also very shortsighted and
