He clearly means use of chemicals in combat. Not much to spin..

if you bring up hitler, you're always in the wrong

but bringing up hitler and casually mentioning he didn't use chemical weapons...yikes

i'm sure there's a distinction he has in mind, but if you use a chemical to kill a person, or 10 million, it's safe to say that you've weaponized said chemical

also, if you're the press secretary...using the word "hitler" is grounds for dismissal. your job is PR. I can't think of any successful piece of public relations that included hitler...add to that his comment about hitler...time to go

the chamber isn't the weapon, the gas you pump into it is.

Exactly all of this...

I guaranteed this is linked to right wing media. There's got to be article headlines comparing Assad to Hitler on Fox news or infowars or something.

What a comical show and a joke from both sides.

There are probably about 10-20 posters on this forum who could spin more ably than Spicer

If you're going to stand in the White House and bring up Hitler, you better understand exactly what you are saying and be extremely eloquent. If you can't do that, steer clear of Hitler.

Trump could definitely get someone better than Spicer, but this is just more wasted outrage from the left. Not a smart thing to say regardless, but it's pretty damn obvious what he meant in context.

He's absolutely right. Hitler and the Germans did NOT use them in combat.


Hitler knew and he said it, if Germany used chemical weapons, the Allied air forces would rain them on Germany.

Hitler was actually in the hospital at the end of WWI with mustard gas poisoning. Temporarily blinded.

Spicer didn't say Hitler didn't use gas in COMBAT. He said Hitler didn't even use gas, which he did.

Wait you don't think parsing verbiage and using legalistic reasoning with regards to Hitler is a good look?

Spicer deserves the flak for being a dumbass that was careless with a Hitler reference, but it's obvious to anyone who understands context what he meant

what a terrible ditch to die in...as soon as he made that comment he should have walked it back rather than trying to hold to some irrelevant distinction


how did the word hitler make its way out of his mouth?

if I were trump i'd dress him down and at some point ask him if he's up there to defend me or hitler

Spicer is really really bad and his job isn't that hard. Laura Ingraham would be an instant upgrade.
