Republicans declare support for Khans in spat with Trump
Prominent Republicans are speaking out Monday against their own presidential candidate after he chose to scuffle with the grieving parents of a decorated Army veteran killed in Iraq.
Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the bereaved parents of Capt. Humayun Khan, a Muslim who was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart after he was killed in 2004, have refused to back down from their criticism of Trump even as he has complained of being "viciously attacked."
Republicans, including Sen. John McCain, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad have spoken out overwhelmingly in support of the Khans. None, however, has withdrawn an endorsement of Trump.
