Pha-leeeze. The racist hate retweeter wants some latitude with gas chamber humor? Without the racist hate tweets and a daddy presidential candidate old Don Jr.'s immature joke would have just been that…

For some one who’s in the anti PC talk camp Donnie Jr. sure is circumspect. Why doesn’t he just let her rip like dear ole Dad’s basket of deplorables.

“Don Jr. was clearly referring to capital punishment to make the case that the media continues to take words out of context”

Against my better judgment I listened to the relevant section of Jr.'s semi literate comments. I missed both the clear reference to capital punishment and the context that would have made his words any less despicable deplorable.

Trump Jr. later told NBC News that he stands by his comments, adding that he normally uses the phrase “electric chair” to make the same point about executions.

Of course. Trump, Jr. is 38 years old. So, gas chambers and electric chairs have been a regular part of his daily consciousness of American life.

“Except when I refer to the Jew Media,” he continued. “Then, I bring out the ‘gas chamber’ line.”

“Don Jr. was clearly referring to capital punishment.”

C’mon people!

A patriot like him, sully our electoral process with sinister hints of German state-sponsored murder?

He simply coarsened our political dialog with ghastly allusions to American state-sponsored murder.

You know…electric chairs, firing squads, lethal injections, hangings…good, clean, wholesome stuff.

Because the GOP is “The Party of Life”.

(But he did admit he’s a yuge fan of Hogan’s Heroes.)

The real fascists are of course the people who point out that you’re kind of always saying and doing and retweeting fascist things that are always completely innocent as you strenuously argue for days and days. And it just keeps happening and they keep pointing it out because they’re the real fascists.

“Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump campaign both defended his “gas chamber” quip in a Thursday interview, saying that he was making a reference to capital punishment rather than the Holocaust”.

Remind me, what country uses the gas chamber for capital punishment?

So the Trump campaign’s official stance is now that the Anti-Defamation League is dishonest? Nice to know.
