Donald Trump Jr. says media would be ‘warming up the gas chamber’ if Trump lied like Clinton

In comments to a local Philadelphia radio station Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. argued that the media was ignoring Hillary Clinton's lies and distortions, and that if his father did the same thing, it would be "warming up the gas chamber."

“The media has been her 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," Trump Jr. said.

He added: "If Republicans were doing that, they'd be warming up the gas chamber right now."

A spokesman for Clinton's campaign tweeted the comments Thursday morning, agreeing with a reporter who labeled them a Holocaust joke.
