Yesterday, Maine Gov. Paul LePage, well known for his frequent controversial statements, called Gold Star parent Khizr Kahn a “con man” and that Kahn was using the death of his son to attack Donald Trump.
Kahn and his wife Ghazala appeared at the Democratic National Convention last month to speak about their son, U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq in 2004.
LePage appeared on the Howie Carr Show on the WRKO, a radio show out of Boston. LePage is a frequent guest on the show. Click here for the audio, beginning at about the 1:07:55 mark. A transcript is below:
... then there are the mighty powerful ones like Mr. Kahn who is a con artist himself. He uses the death of his son who is an American soldier which we respect and honor and he uses that to go after Trump, which I find very distasteful. then we find out that he’s a law partner with guess who? The attorney general of the United States.
