Hillary Clinton spent Tuesday thinking about Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who spoke in support of her at the Democratic National Convention, and a soldier who fought with Iraqis now blocked from entering the country, the 2016 Democratic nominee tweeted.
What I’m thinking about today:
Khizr Khan:https://t.co/wrHK7IkBrG
And a vet who fought with those now excluded:https://t.co/4LhNIT8xVo

Clinton made the veiled shot at President Trump and the controversy over his executive order banning all refugees from entering the countries for the next four months and all immigration from seven majority-Muslim countries for the next 90 days.
In her tweet, Clinton linked to an interview with Khan in the New Yorker where he called Trump’s order “un-American” and said it would harm American soldiers.
The other story was an op-ed in the New York Times written by Zachary Iscol, a former Marine who worked with an Iraqi man named Frank while serving in the war.
Frank, not his real name, was shot while serving as a translator for the Marines and was working toward coming to the United States through a special visa program. He had been vetted for six years and was cleared to come to the U.S. two months ago.
Due to Trump’s order, he will be forced to stay in Baghdad.
