Gold Star father and former Democratic National Convention speaker Khizr Khan does not like the fact that White House chief of staff John Kelly decided to speak up about the ongoing controversy regarding calls to Gold Star families.

“We acknowledge his [Kelly’s] sacrifices and service and his family’s service. But now he is citizen of United States, should have refrained from doing exactly same thing what he was complaining about,” Khan said Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”
Uh, what?

Pretty rich stance for someone who made a political speech criticizing then candidate Trump at the DNC last year.
So only Gold Star family members who speak at the DNC can comment on such matters https://t.co/FrZ1HY6spy

So one Gold Star family member is okay to speak out (you), but not another whom you disagree with? Sure whatever…. https://t.co/4mbQ6TAAS2

"Only I may weigh in on controversies surrounding Gold Star families (during an election, no less)" https://t.co/cujB4jUrbq

That is an absurdly stupid thing to say. https://t.co/QxrrT4stkF

By Khan’s logic, someone must forget all human experiences when going to serve at the White House.
