In 2016, Khan — whose son died fighting in Iraq — spoke at the Democratic convention and denounced Trump. He now tells NBC News that the former president has "gotten worse."

Khizr Khan, the father of a slain Muslim Army captain who gained national attention by pointedly criticizing former President Donald Trump during the Democratic National Convention in 2016, announced in an exclusive interview with NBC News that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign and plans to act as a campaign surrogate for her.

In 2016, Khan denounced Trump’s treatment of Muslims and other minorities while holding a pocket-sized U.S. Constitution and challenging Trump to read the document. In his interview with NBC News on Saturday, Khan said Trump has “gotten worse” and that he fears the former president will become a dictator and end democracy as Americans know it.

    Democrats are as allergic to factual information as the Republicans are

    anything that shatters the Democrat fantasy must be some Russian paid troll thing tied to the Republicans

    Republicans have a similar bitch with different wording but again meaning is the same

    both parties support elections based on showmanship, hot air, and fluff without any progressive goals that would benefit the people
