"[Khan] stood up there and pretended and fed the American people and everyone else listening a load of hogwash that this is not what Islam is, that Islam is not about jihad and Sharia, and of course, he was lying, ... the Islamic State is the truest expression of Islam in the world today. So Mr. Khan at the very least was being dishonest with us, I was incensed, I felt he had no right to wave the Constitution and to insult Mr. Trump in the way that he did. Just to insult an American, any of us, to wave the Constitution and say you haven’t read it, what Mr. Khan does not know about the American public school system when Donald Trump was raised, you better believe each and every one of us memorized that thing practically, so that’s just ridiculous. He knows not what he’s talking about, and also, Clare, just what you alluded to, that faithful Muslims can’t embrace our Constitution, can they? Not if they’re going to be faithful to the doctrine of Islam, no."
