Trump’s son clarifies ‘gas chamber’ comment after criticism

They’ve let her slide on every indiscrepancy, (sic) on every lie. Former presidential candidate and current Trump supporter Ben Carson, meanwhile, has been criticized for comparing US policies to those of Nazi Germany and the Affordable Care Act to slavery. Hillary Clinton’s campaign was quick to jump on the younger Trump’s comments.

“The media has been her number one surrogate in this”, Trump Jr. said in an interview on a Philadelphia local radio station as he complained that the media is treating Hillary Clinton far differently than they treat his father.

“With its allusions to the Holocaust, remarks such as these have no place in a presidential campaign”. But I think you have to express that differently in the way he’s known to be very forward, very aggressive in business.

Let’s just take a moment to be crystal clear.

However, Trump Jr. later clarified to NBC News that he was referring to capital punishment and not the chambers used by the Nazis to kill Jews during World War II.

Over the past several weeks Donald Trump Jr. has found himself facing criticism for posting anti-Semitic memes to Instagram and retweeting a well-known neo-Nazi academic.

The Anti-Defamation League is calling on Donald Trump’s oldest son to apologize for making what appeared to be a Holocaust-themed joke. This brings to bear some of the most well-established stereotypes and racist beliefs about Jewish people and money.

This is hardly the first time anti-Semitism and allegations thereof have crept into the 2016 campaign.

Trump defender the tweet saying the star wasn’t a Star of David, but a Sheriff’s star.

His father’s campaign also released a statement that reiterated Trump Jr.’s clarification and said the original interpretation was another example of the media twisting the campaign’s messages.
