We need a new press secretary, what a mess. I get what he was trying to say but

It was stupid to bring up Hitler, I don't get it

I mentioned that days ago. I posted: "Wanna know who else hated Poison Gas weapons? Hitler."

I enjoy shitting on Spicer as much as anyone, but anyone who accuses him of downplaying the Holocaust is a moron.

I don't think he's downplaying it. I agree the reaction online is depressing

OMG he's a racist nazi he's trivializing the holocaust!!! (Which I guess he is if you take him word for word but anyone with a brain understood what he was trying to say, it's just that it was profoundly stupid)

and

Oh boo hoo. It wasn't just Jews killed in the holocaust and hitler didn't use chemical weapons!!!!

I want to live in a world where we all cringe and then laugh and move on with our day...

shite is pretty funny though. He should be fired though because clearly he sucks at PR

He meant nerve agents. The Nazis had Sarin but decided against using it. They used the blood agent hydrogen cyanide to kill in the extermination camps.

ETA:

I hope Spicer gets let go. He's a fricking idiot. He was probably specifically briefed on how bad this gas attack was and someone said "not even Hitler used nerve agents" and Spicer completely misinterpreted it as "not even Hitler used chemical weapons"

What makes it worse is that he's trying to spin it.

ETA2: downvote? Cool. Suck a caterpillar dick.

I will never understand why people risk going full Godwin's law when they're someone really important and there's a chance it won't end well.

Well then they should hang with Sean. Because he's a moron, too.

A long line of PR amateurs probably know to just leave Hitler and the Nazis the frick out of pretty much anything you're trying to say.

The spokesman for the president of the United States should know better.



You and I don't agree on much these days but this is one of those things.

Nazis and Hitler is the 3rd rail of international politics and will be for several more centuries until it becomes a very, very distant memory and tiny footnotes in whatever textbooks are being stored on in 2500.

Sean Spicer deserves to lose his job or at least get demoted solely for that stupidity alone.

Frankly the administration can do a lot better. I don't know why people are hanging on so tight. Spicer has basically been "okay most of the time."

Not someone worth dying over.

I just don't want him to get fired for this. He'll say something stupid later this week, then you can fire him.

Spicer has been a trainwreck since day 1. No idea why a guy as media saavy as Trump hasn't cut him loose yet.

He's been pretty terrible from the start

He's clearly terrified on stage. I'm sure he wants to project trump's way of dealing with things but it doesn't come natural to him

Thus we have the most cringe worthy answer a press secretary has ever given to a question

I want Spicer fired immediately. And I want him replaced with a female (to show diversity). And she needs to have blond hair and big tits.

Part of me doesn't want him too because it emboldens the fake outrage crowd but at the same time, trump needs his own risk assessment. Is he worth it?

It was an ineloquent and hardly accurate analogy and an avoidable mistake.

That said, it is being treated with way too much gravitas by the MSM (I'm shocked, SHOCKED that the MSM are taking such drivel and overreacting!!!!!) and it is certainly not going to cause WWIII.

By the way, how is WWIII going?
