Hill Columnist Mocks Khan As Child Who Couldn't Have Known What He Was Doing At The DNC

The Hill regards itself as a respectable news organization, so it's not going to publish unfounded, poorly sourced smears like this:

An official adviser to the Trump campaign has escalated the attacks on Khizr Khan, the gold star father who was critical of Trump at the Democratic convention, baselessly accusing him of being a “Muslim Brotherhood agent.”

The adviser, Al Baldasaro, tweeted a link to an article from Shoebat.com, a fringe anti-Islam conspiracy website. The article also suggests (without any evidence) that Humayun Khan, who was awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze, was a jihadist who joined the military to kill Americans.

No, The Hill has far more class than that. It won't publish that sort of attack on the Khan family. It will publish this sort of attack, by Charles Hurt:

Khizr Khan was tricked into smearing Donald Trump

Khizr Khan is a fine American and the father of a true American patriot. But now he is also everything that is wrong with American politics today.

It is not entirely his fault, though he has only himself to blame for allowing his dead son to be used for the most hideous of purposes and dragged through the gutter of nasty and dishonest partisan politics.
