Cleveland - The candidate of the Democratic Party to the presidency of the United States, Hillary Clinton, was critical to his opponent, Donald Trump, the Republican Party, for questioning the behavior of the parents of a Muslim captain of the US army, who made a tribute the child during the convention of the Democratic party. Clinton said that Trump does not understand American values and encourages segregation in society.
At the Democratic convention, which ended on July 28 in Philadelphia, the father of the captain of the army Humayun Khan, the lawyer Khizr Khan, paid tribute to his son, killed in Iraq by a car bomb in 2004. In an emotional speech, Khan whose family is Muslim, he said that if it were up to Trump, his son could never have served the United States and accused the republican never have made sacrifices for their country.
In response, Trump questioned the stance of Khan's wife, Ghazala, who was silent during the speech of her husband. "If you look at him to wife, she was just standing there. She had nothing to say. She might not have permission to say anything," Trump said in an interview with TV show "This Week" on ABC.
In its extensive statement on the Khan family, Clinton expressed his concerns about the Republican candidate's character, saying he returned the sacrifices of Khan with "nothing but insults" and "degrading comments about Muslims."
"I really am afraid of people who would use other people as scapegoats, that would insult people because of their religion, their ethnicity or their shortcomings," Clinton said members of a parish in a church in Cleveland on Sunday. "It was not how I was raised," he added.
Trump once again defended his criticism and claimed in his official Twitter account that was "violently attacked" by Khizer Khan in his speech. "I'm not allowed to answer? Hillary voted for the war in Iraq, not me!" Exclaimed the social network.
