Dear sweet fluffy unicorns. This man speaks for the president of the United States, albeit a popular-vote-losing unstable one.

x Spicer on Syria: Ã¢ÂÂYou had someone as despicable as Hitler who didnÃ¢ÂÂt even sink to using chemical weapons...Ã¢ÂÂ pic.twitter.com/UN3JfRRg0w — Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) April 11, 2017

As David Nir said, “Nah, just some Zyklon B.”

Amazingly, given a chance to rethink that answer, Spicer did not improve the situation:

x .@PressSec, offered a chance to clean up his Hitler comments: Ã¢ÂÂHe was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing." — Cameron Joseph (@cam_joseph) April 11, 2017

So German Jews were not Hitler’s “own people”? Or is it just the method of gassing people that makes the difference?

It’s technically true that Hitler’s methods were different from Assad’s, but “rounded them up into camps and then put them in gas chambers” is … not really better. Especially when Spicer’s way of saying this was “He brought them into the Holocaust Centers, I understand that, but … “

What a dumpster fire of heinous offense, historical ignorance, and absolute tone-deafness.

Sign if you agree: Trump is enabling neo-Nazis.
