ADL raps Donald Trump Jr. over ‘gas chambers’ remark

The Anti-Defamation League accuses Donald Trump Jr. of “trivializing the Holocaust” after the Republican candidate’s son uses the phrase “warming up the gas chambers” in a cryptic allegation against the US media.

“The media has been her [Clinton’s] 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 [sic], on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of this thing. If Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now,” Donald Trump Jr. tells a local Philadelphia radio station.

In response, the ADL urges him to retract his comments.
