Donald Trump Jr. Jokes About "Warming Up The Gas Chambers"

In a radio interview, Donald Trump Jr. joked about the media “warming up the gas chambers” in opposition to his father’s 2016 presidential campaign.

This comparison implies that media criticism of Donald Trump and his surrogates was akin to the mass murder of Jews during the Holocaust. Trump Jr. later tried to claim his comment was in reference to capital punishment in the United States, not the Holocaust.
