Tonight at the DNC, Khizr M. Khan took the stage with his wife to talk about his son, Army Captain Humayun S. M. Khan. According to his official citation in Arlington National Cemetery, Captain Khan died in the line of duty on June 8, 2004 in Baquabah, Iraq when “a vehicle packed with an improvised explosive device drove into the gate of his compound while he was inspecting soldiers on guard duty.”
Tonight Khan’s father, a first generation Muslim-American immigrant, delivered a tearful speech to the DNC, asking Trump if he’s ever read the Constitution, visited Arlington National Cemetery, and “sacrificed anything in your life.”
Watch it above.

Most powerful speech of the DNC easily from a patriotic American, Khizr Khan. They should just end with that.
