Sean Spicer on Assad: ‘Hitler Didn’t Even Sink to the Level of Using Chemical Weapons’ – WATCH
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is under fire for remarks he made at today’s press briefing comparing Syrian President Bashar al Assad to Adolf Hitler.
Said Spicer: “Hitler didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.”
Watch:
Spicer later clarified his remarks in a statement:
“In no way was I trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust. However, I was trying to draw a contrast of the tactic of using airplanes to drop chemical weapons on innocent people.”
Reaction to Spicer’s comments came quickly:
“Holocaust Centers”?! –@PressSec these were extermination camps. Death camps for millions of people. Sean Spicer you didn’t, ON PASSOVER.

Spicer is tripling down on *this* argument: Hitler was less despicable than Assad because at least he gassed people in controlled settings.

Sean Spicer is dead wrong. Hitler used chemical weapons. He preferred Zyklon B (hydrogen cyanide). More background: t.co/pN7hwcgtS3 pic.twitter.com/8xKBwvEyXe
