One of the biggest talked about moments from last week’s Democratic National Convention still is the speech given by the father of a fallen Muslim-American Army captain.

  • Donald Trump said he had a right to 'respond' to Khizr Khan's accusations against him
  • GOP blasts Trump for his reaction

The father criticized Donald Trump in his speech and the Republican presidential candidate responded by defending himself.

While many people were moved by during Khizr Khan's speech about his son Army Capt. Humayan Khan who died in Baghdad in 2004, some parts of the speech didn’t go over well with the former reality TV star.

Many last week called the father’s speech powerful, as he shared a moving testimony about his son. At one point, Khan waved a copy of the Constitution in the air and questioned if Trump had read the document. But the real estate giant went on ABC News to defend himself against some of the accusations Khan made.  

Then went onto point out that his wife was silent duing the entire speech suggesting it was because of their religion.

"His wife, if you look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably — maybe she wasn't allowed to have anything to say. You tell me, plenty of people have written that. She was extremely quiet. And looked like she had nothing to say. A lot of people have said that,” Trump said.

Republicans are also responding to what Trump said.

"Many Muslim Americans have served valiantly in our military, and made the ultimate sacrifice. Khan was one such brave example. His sacrifice — and that of Khizr and Ghazala Khan — should always be honored. Period,” House Speaker Paul Ryan stated in a press release. 

Senator Lindsey Graham also firing back at Trump’s statement.

"There used to be some things that were sacred in American politics —that you don't do — like criticizing the parents of a fallen soldier even if they criticize you," he said.

But Trump, not backing down, went to twitter to defend himself yet again.
