Spin would be an alteration of an interview out of context out of order with or without post production voiceovers or commentary. In some cases the candidate themselves can't attempt an on the fly spin or deflection or avoid the line of questioning, in order to instruct or allow a spokesperson or surrogate to spin the story/case/stats for them leaving the candidate to claim a moral stance not to comment until further evidence is provided. This COULD have been Trump's golden ticket unlikely the phony Muslims for trump plant fail at the RNC. This was spoon fed directly to Trump. He couldn't fu<|< this one up it was a knuckleball right over the plate begging to be knocked out of the park. Yet on such an easy opportunity to say 'look public, I'm a reasonable man who appreciates the bravery of CPT Khan and the sacrifice he and his family have endured (bit of a stretch for his delivery) and left it at that but he invoked his 2 Corinthians, I mean 2nd amendment right to shoot himself in the foot. I'm no John McCain fan but at least he's alive to defend himself. We do still have freedom of religion so if you decide you want to convert from Islam to Catholicism because something moved your heart or mind that's allowed here,in America. Vice versa et al, you don't have to be Anglican or orthodox Mormon or scientologist, you are free Via U.S.C. To worship who what or how you worship practice or just believe or chose none at all. 3 major reasons for our revolution were taxation w/o representation, separation of church and State, and freedom of religion. It wasn't a union or Lutherans or Hasidic Jews or Daoists, it was a UNION which means different but TOGETHER. I can guarantee you he won't say the same thing about the Muslim interpreter imbedded with the team that captured Saddam. WHY? Because he can defend himself. If you really think about it, this family was given the honor to have their son celebrated for his selfless action that saved other AMERICAN lives. An AMERICAN Muslim giving his life to save the lives of other AMERICAN soldiers.
Khizir COULD have quoted the Quran and spoke about Allah but he didn't. Who DID was the 2nd televised Muslim speaker who gave the invocation at the RNC which was met with jeers and some very awkward airspace. Khizir asked a pointed yet poignant question then a reasonable follow-up. Instead of answering to Khizir alone as he did in tweets, he had to insult the mother of a fallen AMERICAN soldier. It's ok to have an opinion sometimes being candid is prudent other times like a funeral or memorial service its just outright inhuman especiallyif it one from your country. On this one, to the mother in particular who didn't say a word about him, he went too far.
Trump did not insult the memory of Captain Khan!
Probably wasn't aware of his existence,until the elder Khan opened his Yap,about Trump besmirching his Son's Memory bysuggesting that Muslims from terrorist-prone Countries who couldn't be vetted ought to be barred from entering the US!
Didn't have a thing to do with Captain Khan!
Old Khan,on behalf of Hillary and the DNC drew First Blood!
A Clinton-Plant,deep in the Cinton-Machine's pocket!
It wasn't the son it was the mother he disrespected for the maternal grief you can see on her face and hear in her voice. Also, the RNC was before the DNC which had a fake Muslims for Trump and a closing invocation by another Muslim speaker. I agree that we should have limitations and intensive vetting for all immigrants, EQUALLY. There's an idea! But that makes government bigger slower and more expensive. That's what republicans want right? Better idea, charge admission. $100,000 per year, $5,000,000 -- or 10 year enlistment in military service-- for life. No vetting required. $10,000 per month for visitors from non EU countries. No vetting required. Problem solved. Illegal immigrants get the death penalty. Full time students at private universities have entry fee reduced to $100 if they pay all tuition rent and fees and return to their home country after graduation. Nothing wrong with EXPORTING doctors lawyers scientists back to their home nation or their chosen area of need in the world AS LONG AS ---- WE THE PEOPLE---- benefit from it.
This would serve the home countries better since their American educated professionals would return and reform their institutions to higher standards reducing the need send their citizens to the U.S. to be educated and employed.
