Political Wire's Quote of the Day -- From Lindsey Graham
“There used to be some things that were sacred in American politics, that you don’t do, like criticizing the parents of a fallen soldier, even if they criticize you. If you’re going to be leader of the free world, you have to be able to accept criticism, and Mr. Trump can’t.”
— Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), quoted by the New York Times, adding that “unacceptable” doesn’t even begin to describe Donald Trump’s behavior.
There is no rule of ethics that says that someone cannot defend himself against vicious attacks, even made by the father of a fallen soldier. Frankly, he was much milder with Khan than Khan was with him in that original interview with George Stephanopoulos:
"He was, you know, very emotional and probably looked like a nice guy to me."
- Donald Trump
Normally, people, especially candidates for public office, do respond to severely negative comments made about them. As usual, the liberals take something Trump said and alert it to so that they can criticize it. Trump gave a rather mild defense after an agressive public attack on him.
