RantCrush Top 5: August 2, 2016

It looks like Trump started a war he might not be able to finish. After implying that Ghazala Khan, the mother of a fallen Iraq War soldier, was silenced by her religion at the Democratic National Convention, Ghazala Khan stood up for herself in a Washington Post op-ed (one of Trump’s favorite publications, by the way) and said that Trump was ignorant of Islam and true sacrifice. Thousands of Muslim women, since then have stood up, and responded to Trump with the hashtag #CanYouHearUsNow:

I became a journalist to pursue transparency to clarify misrepresentations. Misrepresentations that u shamelessly create. #CanYouHearUsNow
