Sean Spicer Has Epic FAIL, Says Hitler Didn’t Use Chemical Weapons

Sean Spicer clearly demonstrated today that he lacks a basic understanding of the Holocaust. 

During Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Sean Spicer has an epically bad gaffe when trying to discuss Syria’s use of chemical weapons. Spicer compared Bashar Assad to Hitler saying “Someone as despicable as Hitler didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.”

Here’s the problem with that, as everyone on the planet knows, Hitler used chemical weapons quite a bit to gas Jews in concentration camps.

Spicer was asked to clarify later in briefing and he didn’t do a very good job.

Spicer said of Hitler, “He was not using his gas on his own people the same was Assad was.”

REALLY?! So according to Sean Spicer, Jewish people living in Germany who were gassed by Hitler didn’t count because they weren’t Hitler’s own people???

Sean Spicer clearly demonstrated today that he lacks a basic understanding of the Holocaust.
