Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., has also sparked controversy by invoking the Holocaust while alleging media bias against his father, while speaking on a Philadelphia radio station.
Donald Trump Jr.: “The media has built her up. They’ve let her slide on every, you know, indiscrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of the thing. I mean, if Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now.”
Donald Trump Jr. later told NBC his comments were a reference to capital punishment in the U.S., not the Holocaust. Donald Trump himself also faced accusations of anti-Semitism in July, after he defended his decision to tweet an anti-Semitic image which showed Hillary Clinton, a pile of $100 bills and a six-pointed Star of David along with the words “Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” The image originally appeared on a white supremacist message board.
