U.S. Constitution becomes Amazon best-seller after father's powerful rebuke of Trump
LOS ANGELES — A pocket version of the U.S. Constitution has become a best-seller on Amazon.com.
The Constitution emerged as a best-seller days after Muslim-American lawyer Khizr Khan, whose son was killed while serving in Iraq, flashed a pocket Constitution and offered to lend it to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
"Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future," Khan said. "Let me ask you, have you ever read the United States Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy."
