In the case of the Khans I don't think it was exploitive but the anger is still misplaced when directed at Trump.
I think it was exploitive and the media ran with it. Like I think bringing up Machado in a debate is exploitive too. Would she have brought it up if Miss Universe was blonde from Kansas? The Democrats do this a lot and it pisses people off, which makes this race as tight as it is.
