You may recall the dustup following the DNC convention when Captain Humayun Khan’s Gold Star parents, Khizr and Ghazala Khan, attacked Donald Trump.

Kahn would still be alive today (we can argue that assertion another day). Here’s the relevant video:

I want to apologize for the clearly inappropriate nature and language of this personal tweet. Sorry all.

I’m just imagining the tongue-thrashing that preceded that tweet.
