New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday broke from the candidate he is campaigning for, telling reporters that Donald Trumpās attacks on Khizr and Ghazala Khan are āinappropriateā and the Khans have the right to say āwhatever they wantā after losing their son in the line of duty.
āI didnāt see Mr. Khanās speech at the DNC but Iāll just say this: Iām a father and I just cannot imagine the pain of losing a child under any circumstances,ā Christie said during a press conference at the statehouse, as quoted by Politico. āFor Mr. and Mrs. Khan, the pain of losing their son while defending our country is unfathomable, and I think it gives them the right to say whatever they want, whether theyāre right or wrong.ā
Christie also emphasized the need to honor the sacrifices of both U.S. Army Captain Humayan Khan, who was killed in a suicide bombing, and his parents, saying, āto focus on anything other than that, to me, is missing the point.ā
āAny comments that weāre making publicly or privately should be with that in mind," he said, as quoted by Politico. "My view on this is that the Khans have a right to say whatever it is they want regarding the loss of their son and that for all the Gold Star families out there, they have put forward a sacrifice that I cannot fathom as a parent."
