It speaks to a greater concern regarding exploitation in all regards. The disgust at Trump is less at the point he made, and more that he lobbed it at a grieving mother - which appears to be off-limits, for good reason.
You could also say that the response to Trump's comments on Khan are misplaced. After all, women suffer greatly in Muslim dominated societies. For Democrat supporters to be disgusted at Trump's comments, without recognizing the kernel of truth in that intent is also disingenuous. Mrs. Khan could also have used her platform to comment on the plight of women in Muslim societies.
Either a grieving mother is off limits, or she is not.
