As Twitchy told you, over the weekend, Khizr Khan criticized fellow Gold Star father Gen. John Kelly for speaking out on the recent controversy regarding presidential phone calls to Gold Star families.

More from CBS News:

While the White House continues to defend the president, Khan said the administration should instead be showing “dignity and restraint” in the wake of the U.S. soldiers’ deaths, saying they have made the issue into “political football.”

Khan’s comments raised quite a few eyebrows, given that he, you know, spoke out about Trump at the DNC last year.

Well, speaking of “political football,” Khan’s raising even more eyebrows with this:

Huh. Almost seems like there’s some kind of double standard here, no?

Why is it fine for the Democrats to capitalize on Khizr Khan’s loss? Why doesn’t Khan have a problem letting the Democrats capitalize on his loss?

Is there a flow chart that I can consult to decide when I'm to listen in solemn agreement to Gold Star families and when I don't have to?
