In 2016, Khan — whose son died fighting in Iraq — spoke at the Democratic convention and denounced Trump. He now tells NBC News that the former president has "gotten worse."

Khizr Khan, the father of a slain Muslim Army captain who gained national attention by pointedly criticizing former President Donald Trump during the Democratic National Convention in 2016, announced in an exclusive interview with NBC News that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign and plans to act as a campaign surrogate for her.

In 2016, Khan denounced Trump’s treatment of Muslims and other minorities while holding a pocket-sized U.S. Constitution and challenging Trump to read the document. In his interview with NBC News on Saturday, Khan said Trump has “gotten worse” and that he fears the former president will become a dictator and end democracy as Americans know it.

    Democrats are as allergic to factual information as the Republicans are

    anything that shatters the Democrat fantasy must be some Russian paid troll thing tied to the Republicans

    Republicans have a similar bitch with different wording but again meaning is the same

    both parties support elections based on showmanship, hot air, and fluff without any progressive goals that would benefit the people

      You say all that and manage to miss that R doesnt just not have progressive goals, it has regressive goals. This is you right now: “hey everyone, Democats are as bad (or.maybe worse cause we dont know everything they are lying about) as the republicans. You shouldn’t participate in national politics.” Literally everyone knows Harris and waltz are liars. You’re not bringing anything helpful to the table here, and it just makes you sound… Well… Stupid. Sometimes the “w” is just “fine let’s at least try to get abortion rights in the constitution” ormaybe “yay the people that PUBLISHED their plan to destroy the constitution and prop up project 2025 didn’t get voted in!”
