The story is Trump adviser tweeting that Capt. Khan is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood

I have started hammering that on my FB in the last hour since I heard about it on here.

It has already being shared and TWO different Trump supporters have PM'd me and said that they cannot stand for this.

This is the story. This hurts him. And the beauty of it is that he is doing it to himself. And it is GROSS and disgusting and NOBODY can pretend it isn't. This isn't the Swift Boat people going after Kerry. This is Trump going after an American Hero!

On top of his people repeatedly trying to link the Khan's to RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM and his tweets from today, it all adds up to a very ugly picture out of the Trump campaign.

I'm surprised it took that long for them to put this together.

I'd suspect any membership in any organization he may or may not have had expired with him 12 years ago.

Seeing this in some mixed boards I post on. It's going to backfire massively for Trump, Khan and his family's history is well known and provable.

I thought that was the charge against the father. Though they had despicable rumours about the son as well. It's getting ugly.

That's what I put on Facebook. I think I did get it backwards, but people are going apeshit anyway because in the article, the guy does say that he thinks Captain Khan was only stopped from killing his own men by getting killed himself. I was seeing about three shades of red when I posted it, so I think I screwed it up. But people are sharing the hell out of the link to the article and I have a good many pissed off responses. I usually can't get anybody to SAY anything about Trump. They will like what I say, but won't comment. They are all over this.

The insinuations/conspiracy theories that some float about his dead son are way worse.
