At a rally this week, neo-fascist sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump accepted a Purple Heart medal from a misguided veteran in the audience, saying callously that, "I've always wanted to get the real Purple Heart. This was much easier." Rump, who received four student deferments and one deferment for a "bone spur" in his foot, pocketed the medal. Khizr Khan, father of Capt. Humayun Khan who died a hero in Iraq, had this to say to Rump:
“You had your chance. You escaped. You dodged the draft ― and now you want an ‘easy’ Purple Heart in your pocket? You should have pinned it back. Even now, call that man. I want his surrogates to call that man, thank him and put that Purple Heart back on that person’s chest.”More than anyone else in this political cycle, Khizr Khan has been the conscience of America. It would be a wonderful statement if his courage in speaking out was the final nail in Rump's deserved coffin.
