In his effort to point out a perceived double standard in how the media covers the 2016 race, Donald Trump Jr. said journalists would “be warming up the gas chamber” if Republicans carried on the way that Democrats do.

“The media has been her number one surrogate in this,” Trump Jr. told station 1210 WPHT in Philadelphia, referring to Hillary Clinton. “Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up.
