Press Secretary Sean Spicer went on CNN to fight for his job after favorably comparing Adolf Hitler with Bashar al-Assad at today's White House briefing.
Spicer had said unlike the Syrian strongman, the 1940s Nazi dictator 'didn't even sink to ... using chemical weapons,' leaving reporters in disbelief and causing some critics to call for his head.
'I apologize, it was a mistake to do that,' Spicer said to the network's Wolf Blitzer, whose own parents survived the Holocaust. Blitzer's paternal grandparents were killed by the Nazis at Auschwitz.

These people have compared Trump to Hitler on MANY occasions YET Shean compares Assad to Hitler and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!!!
“Holocaust Center sounds like a place kids for for a field trip.”
~~~~~~~~~
Heh. But I hope Spicer’s grasp of the Holocaust runs a little deeper than that.
naaa, noboby is going to be as good as Trump at saying politically incorrect things and doubling down on them.
Spicer made the point of how outrageous Assad’s behavior is. Nobody but the media will remember the apology. Everyone will remember the comment about gassing his own people.
Destabilize the middle east, huh? Spicer making a bad day worse. I feel sorry for him.
Never ever apologize. Never give an inch to them. Call them names. Call them liars. Say they have blood on their hands because of Bengazi. Shout out that Susan Rice is a liar. When they hit you. You hit them back twice as hard. You got to get plum mean. Junk yard dog mean. We are trying to save our country from these bastards. I HATE RHINOS AND WIMPS AND COWARDS. FIGHT.
Oh for the love of Pete!!!! Can’t these people find something else to do other than to pick on the GOP spokesman? Do they work? I remember Obama saying corpuse for corps and 58 states in the nation...no one called for him to step down even though he clearly showed how little he knew about America.
Accurate Statement. Are these leftist liars pretending that he defended Hitler by criticizing Assad? Totally ridiculous. I can say even Hitler never did whatever, and anyone who doesn’t like it can kiss off. They do NOT own Hitler.
Agreed.
Mr. Spicer, if you’re reading this -—>> NO MORE APOLOGIES!!!!!! PLEASE!
You’re officially done with the matter!
Trump supporters have your back... we know what pit of venomous vipers that press room is...
How often do Liberal’s resign when they make a commentary mistake during their job?
Overall, Spicer is doing a good to excellent job. He definitely should not apologize further. It’s called a mistake. It’s clear he didn’t mean to minimize Hitler’s atrocities but to emphasize the Syrian dictator’s crimes.
Okay, I admit it-- I love WWII posters
The people criticizing Spicer spent the last 8 years trying to finish Hitler’s work in Israel.
How about Chris Mathews with his “we all know what happened to the Romanovs” comment today? WTF is that all about? These liberals have all lost their GD minds.
Another sacrifice called for on the altar of Political Correctness. Pay no attention to those calling for his head while they were fast and loose with the Hitler comparisons themselves.
With an attitude like that you are going to run out of press fodder.
“Grovels”??
Um, no, he explained his verbal error. End of story.
Although, this is probably my favorite. You ride with Hitler. That makes me chuckle.
> favorably comparing Adolf Hitler with Bashar al-Assad
I’m not going to slag the guy but if you have the role of not saying stupid stuff, then failure is not an option.
Move along, do better next time.
I like those posters as well. Loose lips sink ships. They use to have movie reals in theaters too.
Give me a break! The left just wants another scalp. President Trump should tell them to go pound sand.
