Philadelphia – The Anti-Defamation League is calling on Thursday for Donald Trump’s oldest son to apologize for making what appeared to be a Holocaust-themed joke.

In an interview with a Philadelphia radio station on Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. accused the Democrats of rigging their primary system.
“If Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now,” he said.
The ADL, an international anti-Semitism organization, tweeted Thursday that “trivialization of the Holocaust and gas chamber is NEVER ok.”
The group then tweeted that its members hoped Trump Jr. understood the “insensitivity and hurt” caused by his joke and asked for an apology.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
repeat a lie many times, until you will believe that this is the truth. Say the media is bias against Trump (even though everyone knows that they propped him up, and wouldn’t of grown if not for the massive amount of coverage he received) and you end up believing him.
A fair media would mean
– Calling out Trump everyday on his unprecedented avoidence to give out any tax return. Call out the “lie” that the reason is due to an audit. (there is no audit prior to 2008, and an audit doesn’t prevent you from releasing it).
– Calling him out on the quid pro quo payment to Florida’s attorney general, and the nonexistence of an investigation into this “donation”. (The fact is that a payment was made only 4 days after her office discussed possibly joining NY’s attorney general’s lawsuit against Trump University).
– Call out the irony that he ripped Bernie Sanders for promising to give everything away, but now promising even more than him. (10 Trillion tax cut, 1 Trillion increase in defense, 1/2 Trillion on child care help, on top of an expected 8 Trillion deficit over the next 10 years. Totalling 19.5 Trillion, without any additional source of revenue).
All say with me! “media bias
I resent ANYONE who uses holocaust analogies.
Candidate for President or candidate for dog catcher.
It trivializes the unspeakable horrors that people still living today experienced.
Do not let anybody trivialize the Holocaust.
A local orthodox Jewish newspaper runs a weekly column by a frum CPA who regularly highlights the LEGAL methods that wealthy people use to minimize their tax exposure, and urges ordinary folks to use these same methods by relying on an accountant. Certainly Mr. Trump hires the BEST…and certainly his financial records and returns are vastly complex. He knows well that the rabid anti-Trump main-stream media will viciously attack him no matter what he reveals. I don’t blame him for wanting to avoid that trap.
What an imbecile is Trump Jr. The ‘media’ is the rightist scapegoat for everything. But they don’t beat anyone up, have death camps, or have gas chambers. Save that for Trump and his nazi admirers to use atrocity machines. Welcommen 1933… He’s telegraphing tatta’s intentions.
I’m the last person to defend Trump but this is ridiculous. The ADL needs to get a life.
Did you know that the gas chamber was used as the prime method of capital punishment in California? Were they trivializing the holocaust?
