‘So bloody weird’: Does this now-viral story about Khizr Khan smell fishy to you?
@journorosa I RTed this and people are doubting its veracity. Can you confirm that it's true?

Rosa Hwang, a senior producerfor Toronto’s CTV National News, dropped quite a news nugget today about Gold Star father Khizr Khan:
JUST IN: Gold Star father Khizr Khan cancels scheduled speech in Toronto after being told his "travel privileges are being reviewed." pic.twitter.com/3dXFMnjced— Rosa Hwang (@journorosa) March 6, 2017
Whoa, if true. “If true” being the key.
FYI: Statement was sent to CTV News by Ramsey Talks, the event where Mr. Khan was scheduled to speak tomorrow. Mr. Khan has no comment.— Rosa Hwang (@journorosa) March 6, 2017
OK …
Cancelled – Tuesday, March 7 Khizr Kahn talk. Tickets will be refunded.— RamsayTalks (@RamsayTalks) March 6, 2017
Statement from Ramsey Talks regarding Khizr Khan cancellation is now up on their Facebook page. pic.twitter.com/zQrAytHQaL— Rosa Hwang (@journorosa) March 6, 2017
Looking into reports that Khizr Khan canceled a Canada trip after having his travel privileges "reviewed." But nothing's confirmed right now pic.twitter.com/SM4wSoHmwH— Vivian Yee (@VivianHYee) March 6, 2017
If this story sounds fishy to you, you’re not alone. Not by a long shot.
None of the Khan story makes any sense.— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) March 6, 2017
@EsotericCD this sounds so bloody weird.— Tejas (@tejasxb) March 6, 2017
Being reviewed by whom? https://t.co/Yr2oHidGGE— (((Mikey Ramone))) (@ThePantau) March 6, 2017
"Being told"? By whom? https://t.co/Ctv6SqPq7w— Tim Carney (@TPCarney) March 6, 2017
@journorosa This is missing some important details. Who exactly is reviewing Mr Kahn's travel privileges?— Joe Keene (@joekeene) March 6, 2017
The Khizr Khan story is thinly (read: hardly at all) sourced and doesn't make any sense, so beware of sharing.— (@sarahjeong) March 6, 2017
Be very careful with this story. No statement from Khan. Hard to imagine any grounds for passport revocation. https://t.co/iQGevqrEsE— Josh Barro (@jbarro) March 6, 2017
The other weird thing is the term "travel privileges." There is no such thing. Travel abroad is a right unless your passport is revoked.— Josh Barro (@jbarro) March 6, 2017
There are various reasons the government can revoke a passport but it's hard to imagine that any would apply here.— Josh Barro (@jbarro) March 6, 2017
It would also be super weird for Khan to let this explosive story come out through a sloppily-worded statement from a Canadian speech booker— Josh Barro (@jbarro) March 6, 2017
I'm a fan of Khizr Khan, but very skeptical of this story. Can't think of any known legal reason why his travel could be restricted. https://t.co/2QhokTRYVR— (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) March 6, 2017
@AG_Conservative Source of story dubious too.— Pradheep Shanker MD (@Neoavatara) March 6, 2017
I'm not retweeting it, but you should be *extremely* skeptical of this Khizr Khan tweet going around until a whole lot more info comes out— Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin) March 6, 2017
@journorosa This story needs to be confirmed immediately or deleted immediately. One or the other.— Elliott Lusztig (@ezlusztig) March 6, 2017
Something is very off here. He's been a citizen for decades. What "travel privileges"? https://t.co/3hOFiHjuQC— Mat (@sunnyright) March 6, 2017
How long will this bullshit be left hanging out there so that no official debunking will undo the damage? https://t.co/0hyOUkjLMl— RBe (@RBPundit) March 6, 2017
When this Khizr Khan tweet turns out to be fake news, remember a Twitter handle with Journo caused it to be shared well over 4,000 times. pic.twitter.com/fJhcBC8tYN— Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) March 6, 2017
Folks, you can't go nuts about fake news, then go nuts about a dubiously sourced story about Khizr Khan. Wait for confirmation.— (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) March 6, 2017
I can't emphasize enough how skeptical of this "Khizr Khan had travel privileges revoked" story you should be. https://t.co/hstwtlj8Dp— Jeff B/DDHQ (@EsotericCD) March 6, 2017
All we know about this story is we dont know anything. Please, I implore you all to wait. If this is not true, you cant un-ring that bell. pic.twitter.com/oUd5fAD4wr— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 6, 2017
