The tombstone of US Army Capt. Humayun S. M. Khan is seen in Section 60 at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., Monday, Aug. 1, 2016. Fellow Republicans are joining the rising chorus of criticism of Donald Trump for his disparagement of the bereaved parents of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, a Muslim who was awarded a Bronze Star after he was killed in 2004 in Iraq.

WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain blasted Donald Trump for his attacks on the family of the American solider killed in Iraq in 2004 who has feuded with Trump since the father’s speech at the Democratic convention last week.

“In recent days, Donald Trump disparaged a fallen soldier’s parents. He has suggested that the likes of their son should not be allowed in the United States — to say nothing of entering its service,” McCain said in a statement released by his office Monday. “I cannot emphasize enough how deeply I disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement. I hope Americans understand that the remarks do not represent the views of our Republican Party, its officers, or candidates.”

Khizr Khan, Capt. Humayun Kahn’s father, spoke forcefully at the Democratic National Convention about Trump’s rhetoric about Muslim’s. Kahn even took out his copy of the Constitution and asked if Trump had read it and said he would lend Trump his copy.

In response to Khan’s statements attacking the real estate mogul, Trump implied that Ghazala Khan, the mother of Humyun Khan, was not allowed to speak.

“If you look at his wife, she was standing there,” he said, on national television. “She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.”

Ghazala Khan responded in an op-ed in the Washington Post and explained that she was doing her best to maintain her composure after her son’s picture was shown just before the Khans went on stage.

“Donald Trump has asked why I did not speak at the Democratic convention. He said he would like to hear from me. Here is my answer to Donald Trump: Because without saying a thing, all the world, all America, felt my pain. I am a Gold Star mother. Whoever saw me felt me in their heart,” Khan wrote in her op-ed.
