In 2016, Khan — whose son died fighting in Iraq — spoke at the Democratic convention and denounced Trump. He now tells NBC News that the former president has "gotten worse."

Khizr Khan, the father of a slain Muslim Army captain who gained national attention by pointedly criticizing former President Donald Trump during the Democratic National Convention in 2016, announced in an exclusive interview with NBC News that he is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign and plans to act as a campaign surrogate for her.

In 2016, Khan denounced Trump’s treatment of Muslims and other minorities while holding a pocket-sized U.S. Constitution and challenging Trump to read the document. In his interview with NBC News on Saturday, Khan said Trump has “gotten worse” and that he fears the former president will become a dictator and end democracy as Americans know it.

    What about abortion? Tax cuts for the super rich? Environmental protection? Consumer protection from telecoms and credit card providers? Access to food and nutrition for children and the disabled? The broken financials of our universities and their students? Paid leave to start a family? Basic shit like being able to unsubscribe from things online if you signed up online?

    Those are just a subset of real, actual laws that are improving lives in democrat-run states.
