Donald Trump Jr cites "gas chamber" in criticizing media

[Jacque67 7,328]

Donald Trump Jr. made a reference to "warming up the gas chamber" while complaining about how the treatment his father has received by the political press compares to coverage of Hillary Clinton.

"The media has been her number one surrogate in this. Without the media, this wouldn't even be a contest. But the media has built her up. They've let her slide on every indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing," Trump Jr. told Philadelphia-based conservative talk radio host Chris Stigall on Wednesday.

"I mean, if Republicans were doing that, they'd be warming up the gas chamber right now. It's a very different system -- there's nothing fair about it," Trump Jr. added.

Trump Jr. also said that as a Republican running as an outsider, "every day, everyone's throwing everything they could possibly throw at him."

Gas chambers were used by Nazis in the Holocaust -- the genocide of 6 million Jews and millions of others during World War II.

Trump's campaign denied that Trump Jr. was referring to the Holocaust, saying he meant the "gas chamber" used in capital punishment.

"It is horrifying that Donald Trump Jr. thinks it is appropriate to casually joke about the Holocaust and even worse, he is defending it, saying it isn't anti-Semitic," Groen said. "My grandparents died in Auschwitz, as did some of my aunts and uncles. They died in gas chambers. As a naturalized American citizen whose parents came to this country after World War II, I ask Trump to stop trying to reach out to the worst of us; the bigots and the anti-Semites."

Trump Jr. and his father have retweeted extremist users at various points in the campaign, including an incident in which the senior Trump tweeted an image of Clinton, a Star of David, and a pile of money, that reportedly originated on a racist Twitter account. Despite its apparent source, Trump claimed the image was a "sheriff's star."

The comment came on a busy day for Trump Jr., who also drew attention for contradicting his father's excuses on not releasing his tax returns.

Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he won't release any tax returns for himself or his business which breaks from four decades of precedent andcould keep potential conflicts in the dark because of an ongoing audit.

But his son contradicted him on Thursday, instead seeming to imply that the campaign feared the public might find politically damaging information.

The National Jewish Democratic Council also took the occasion to castigate the Trump campaign for seemingly attempting to use the horror of the Holocaust to score political points.

Donald Trump Jr.s reference to gas chambers is outrageous. With its allusions to the Holocaust, remarks such as these have no place in a presidential campaign, the organization send in a statement.

Yet, it is not surprising that the Republican nominees son would use such language, given the pattern of frequent dog-whistling to anti-Semites and that both Trump the elder and Trump the younger previously have retweeted postings from known anti-Semites. Both father and son should apologize immediately for this completely inappropriate and offensive reference.

The comments come on the heels of an incident in which Donald Trump Jr. ignited controversy for suggesting he was proud of tweeting an image that was widely seen as anti-Semitic.

On Sunday, he promoted his once sharing a meme that is oft-shared by white supremacists. Apparently I made the cut as one of the Deplorables, he wrote, referring to controversial comments by the former secretary of state, who referred to Trump supporters as a basket of deplorables the previous week.

Baiting??? You've gotta be kidding, right.

The Jr has made some disgusting remarks, and many are concerned by them. Oh but some prefer to put their heads in the sand.
