Massachusetts Congressman, Veteran Lashes Out at Donald Trump

"As a veteran, I can't imagine what it would be like if Donald Trump treated my mom that way."

Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton had those and other withering words for Donald Trump Tuesday, joining a bipartisan barrage of condemnation in the wake of the Republican presidential nominee's comments toward a family whose son died serving in Iraq.

Trump has been taking heavy fire since critiquing Khizr and Ghazala Khan, Gold Star parents of Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was killed while serving in Iraq by a car bomber. Khizr Khan spoke against the GOP nominee at this year's Democratic National Convention, prompting harsh words in return from Trump.

Khan and his wife have both condemned Trump, saying he "knows nothing of sacrifice."

Trump, pressed on the point, claimed hiring employees and constructing buildings is his sacrifice, prompting another wave of outrage, particularly from veterans groups.

Moulton, a Salem Democrat, himself served in Iraq as a Marine Corps infantry officer. He, along with other veterans and their families, this week signed on to a letter condemning the attacks, and calling on Trump to apologize to the Khan family.

Tuesday, according to WBZ News Radio, Moulton did not hold back, calling Trump's comments "disgusting." He asked that people "across the political spectrum" withdraw their endorsements from "this maniac."
