POLL: GI's family should get an apology, Cotton says

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump should apologize for his criticism of Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the Muslim parents of a U.S. Army captain killed in Iraq, U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton said Tuesday.

"I think he should express his regret and apologize for what he said to the Khans and again to all Gold Star families," the Republican from Dardanelle told reporters after he spoke in front of about 150 people at a Political Animals Club luncheon in west Little Rock.

The term "Gold Star" refers to families that have lost loved ones in military service.

Cotton, who served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan and Iraq, said: "There are about 7,000 of these families. They are a diverse group. Some support Donald Trump. I have heard from some of them who support Donald Trump and want him to win. Some obviously support Hillary Clinton."
