"He is a black soul, and this is totally unfit for the leadership of this country. The love and affection that we have received affirms that our grief -- that our experience in this country has been correct and positive. The world is receiving us like we have never seen.

Trump's "policy, his practices, do not reflect that he has any understanding of the basic, fundamental constitutional principles of this country."

Khan called on House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to withdraw their support for Trump.

"It is a moral obligation -- history will not forgive them. This election will pass, but history will be written. The lack of moral courage will remain a burden on their souls."
