Meghan McCain Calls Donald Trump a 'Barbarian' for Response to Family of Fallen Muslim Soldier
The daughter of Arizona Sen. John McCain fired back at Trump following his response to the emotional speech given by the father of a fallen Muslim U.S. Army soldier at the Democratic National Convention this week.
Khizr Khan addressed Trump directly in Khizr Khan Thursday speech at the DNC, challenging the Republican presidential nominee's proposed ban on Muslim immigrants to the U.S.
"Have you ever been to Arlington Cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities," Khan said. "You have sacrificed nothing and no one."
The GOP nominee told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on Saturday that Khizr Khan has "made a lot of sacrifices," before taking a jab at Khizr Khan 's wife.
"If you look at his wife, she was standing there," Trump said. "Ghazala Khan had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me."

McCain wrote on Twitter, "Meghan McCain would ask what kind of barbarian would attack the parents of a fallen soldier, but oh yeah it's the same person who attacks POW's."
rump said Khan had “no right” to criticize him and questioned whether Khan’s wife, Ghazala Khan, was “allowed” to say anything.
Caroline McCain also wrote in a Medium post on Friday that Meghan McCain opposed Trump for questioning her grandfather’s status as a war hero.
“Meghan McCain like people who weren’t captured,” Trump said last summer about the senator, who was a prisoner during the Vietnam War.
“Meghan McCain’ve been nursing a grudge ever since,” Caroline McCain wrote, adding that Meghan McCain would be voting for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
