The father of an Army captain killed in Iraq has lashed out at Donald Trump for saying at Sunday's debate that his son would still be alive if the Republican had been president in 2004.
Interviewed Tuesday on CNN, Khizr Khan said Trump spoke out of "blatant political expediency" and showed no understanding of the pain of military families who lost loved ones in Iraq.
After Khan gave an impassioned speech at the Democratic convention in July, Trump attacked the lawyer and his wife, Ghazala, -- both pictured above -- drawing harsh criticism from veterans. Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton has repeatedly cited Trump's comments about the Khan family as evidence that he lacks the temperament to be president.
In Sunday's presidential debate, Trump also called Khan's son, Humayun Khan, an "American hero."
