Spicer says Hitler didn't use chemical weapons.

Post by _DarkHelmet »

What an idiot.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/11/us/p ... .html?_r=0

“We didn’t use chemical weapons in World War II. You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons,” Mr. Spicer said.
...
Asked to clarify his remarks, Mr. Spicer acknowledged that Hitler used chemical agents, but maintained that there was a difference.

“I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing,” Mr. Spicer said, and mentioned “Holocaust centers,” apparently referring to Nazi death camps.


This guy needs to stop talking. I realize that his small brain can't fully process a thought before it comes out of his mouth. But if you're going to bring up bad guys to show how Assad is even worse, steer clear of Hitler. Even if you think there might be something horrible that Hitler didn't do, odds are he probably did.

He's not really helping the view that he and the admin are Alt-Right White NuNazi Supremacists when he's literally a Hitler apologist.

LOL. These “F” in' guys. It's like subgenius/Majax/Bach/ldsfats is writing his material. Lolol.

I heard some clips on the radio today. After his first gaffe, he tried to walk it back with something about how at least Hitler didn't gas his own people.

Apparently someone tried to give him a heads up (I would imagine by hissing something like "German Jews!! German Jews!!) because in the third clip, he tried to walk it back again by saying at least Hitler didn't drop the gas right on the middle of people's homes and towns. Right. He was humane enough to spare their homes when he rounded them up. There are no words.

I can hardly wait for Saturday Night Live this week. Melissa McCarthy will kill it. They won't even have to write a skit. She can just quote him word for word.

Lol. I mean you just can't make this up. They don't even think German Jews were worthy of citizenship.

BUT. NOTHING. And I mean NOTHING would give any of his supporters any reason to change their minds unless he suddenly decided he was a Democrat one day.

That's it. This is hands down the weirdest Presidency I've seen in my life. I thought Bush was a gaffe master, but boy oh boy these guys make Idiocracy reality.

Don't they? I was reminded the other day of President Cumacho (?) in that movie. I realized they could re-script it, replacing the movie president story line with actual Trump data, and it would make the movie seem LESS realistic. That's saying a lot.

And then when apologizing on Wolf Blitzers show, he says he feels bad that he didn't stay focused on the real issue, which is Trump's attempts to destabilize the region. Seriously? And then he struggles to pronounce a name and Wolf has to help him out. Trump needs to give this guy a job that doesn't require him to speak in public.
