Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who publicly feuded with Donald Trump after endorsing Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention in July, ripped the GOP nominee at a Clinton rally yesterday, saying, “Thankfully, Mr. Trump, this isn’t your America.”

Khan told the New Hampshire crowd, “Today, I have a few questions for Donald Trump. Donald Trump, would my son have a place in your America?”

The Muslim Gold Star parent continued: “Would Muslims have a place in your America? Would Latinos have a place in your America? Would African-Americans have a place in your America, Donald Trump?”

Khan wasn’t finished, asking, “Would anyone who isn’t you have a place in your America?” before saying, “Well, thankfully, Mr. Trump, this isn’t your America.”

Army Capt. Humayun Khan, the elder Khan’s son, died in Iraq in 2004. Khizr Khan and his wife spoke out against Trump’s proposed ban on Muslims at the DNC, painting a picture of a Muslim dying while defending America out of national pride.

Trump mocked the family on Twitter, sparking a controversy that turned many voters off from the GOP nominee. It remains to be scene if Khan’s latest comments will help keep Trump out of the White House, but luckily we only have to wait another day to find out.
