Spicer: Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons

Spicer: Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons

“You had someone as despicable as Hitler, who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons,” Spicer said during Wednesday’s press briefing.

Neither did Genghis Khan.

Spicer gonna get it.

Idiocracy

I realize being POTUS' press secretary is a stressful, challenging job but how do you routinely shit the bed and still have the job?

Finding morally bankrupt people to lie to a whole nation may not be as easy as they thought it would be.

I'm happy to see the administration putting pressure on Russia, but Spicer... come on bro.

I'm outraged

Gotta hand it to Spicer, he inspired the best SNL cold open in a long time.

You guys remember when the days when the press secretary had a briefing and no one really cared? That was neat.

Was boring.

Honestly, it's frightening how stupid these people are. I thought of this movie also.

That's how we felt during the Obama years.

Even Hitler's press secretary didn't have a daily press briefing.

Perfect. Beautiful. I can be entertained elsewhere. Boring is fine.

I can't imagine a better answer.

People will say the damndest things when they're pressure.  
The longer Spicer talked the worse it got.

This will all be forgotten when Dear leader lauches missles at the carrier group next week.

We just watched the movie again a few weeks ago, trust me it still holds up.

Ooft, and the hits keep coming.

"While apologizing for his earlier remark that Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons during World War II, Sean Spicer appeared to misspeak again, saying he did not want to distract from President Trump's "decisive action in Syria and the attempts that he is making to destabilize the region.""

I wonder if SS will still be the press secretary by the time I wake up in seven hours.

Under normal circumstances you'd expect to read 'Spicer is going to take a step back to spend more time with his family' but these are not normal fucking circumstances.

OK. He manned up and apologized. Kudos to him. Maybe just trying to save his job, but whatever.

But, what was the point? If he (and Trump) is trying to spin that Assad is worse than Hitler, then is the plan to invade Syria?

You are making a mistake assuming they have a strategy or a plan. Apparently, Ivanka convinced Donald that he should bomb Syria which caused him to do a dramatic 180 on his 'policy' towards Syria. No one can predict what this administration will do next in these types of situations.

They don't want to telegraph what they want to do, but Trump just said he's not sending troops in...

Trump being applauded around the globe for doing something Obama didn't.
