He screwed up. He apologized. Move on. (Liberals haven’t got a leg to stand on. They have a long history of saying and doing outrageous things).
Some of you want to double down on the stupid. I do not, but this is on Spicer, not Trump.
Spicer has been ineffective and now damaging.
Spicer does the right thing and mans up and acknowledges he made a mistake. Kind of refreshing in this era of mindless doubling down regardless if right or wrong.
He is a good man and excellent communications director ... and human.
Poorly constructed metaphor... move on.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
‘Only liberals are allowed to compare anyone to Hitler.”
And they do it frequently.
Have Brian Williams and Dan Rather checked in, yet? Maxine Waters? Don Lemmon and Van Jones? BHO will be in Germany soon. Maybe he can make a speech about how awful America is, and lecture us, again. I’m feeling a little nostalgic...NOT!
And he is gonna have to take the heat in a political PC world.
The man was hired to avoid this ****
JUST a Minute!
Hitler had mid eastern partners, muslims..... go look up the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and Hitler.... or the Hanschar Division....
and yes, there was a close relationship and mind set.
Let them complain
The very core of the White house spokesman’s job is to not get embroiled in this kind of ****
This is this has stupidest controversies ever ...
any ww2 historian would tell you Hitler personal fear of using chemical weapons ...in combat because he’d been gassed in World War 1...
And that was based on the fear of retaliation by the Allies and was fearful of chemical warfare
The gassing .in concentration camps during the Holocaust was not chemical warfare .....its was was genocide not war and it was evil convenience
the jews we’re not combatants they were murder/executed. So does any execution ...justified or unjustified by gas make that country guilty of chemical warfare?
We are talking about weapons of war vs execution of prisoners
To compare using chemical weapons in War ...with the Holocaust is a disrespect to those that died in the Holocaust
Because Hitler was gas by the Allies in World War 1. If you make that comparison you’re in a way justify Hitler because he was a gas “victim” first
You giving Hitler moral equivalency with his Holocaust victims. That’s crazy
By apologizing, Spicer was falling into the political correctness trap. So I feel strongly that he shouldn’t have apologized. But the fact that he did is no reason for us to malign him. We’ve all been trapped like that at one time or another.
What we should be doing is maligning the very existence of political correctness. In other words, we should be doing exactly what we did all campaign season, culminating in what we did at the ballot box when we voted for Trump.
This includes standing strong behind Sean Spicer.
You’re 100% right.
And small wonder given how many of his policies were startlingly similar to what they want to or HAVE already passed into law. Eugenics? Check. Destruction of religious freedom? BIG check. Socialist government? Super check. Homeschooling outlawed? Check! Government control of youth organizations? Check.
They aren’t interest in your apology, Sean, they want your head.
And if you keep on apologizing, they’re going to get it.
Here’s what you say. Don’t understand what I said? Don’t like what I said? F*** you.
That’s it.
Move on, or you’ll be without a job. Real damn simple.
Sean? WE WON! Tell them to pound sand!
Spicer didn’t express himself well and some heartfelt apology was in order.
Apologies are even more in order from those on the left who purposefully lie about his comments, calling him a “holocaust denier” and making a big deal about his use of “Holocaust center” instead of “concentration camp” (which is also a euphemism). I’d like to see punchback about these liars.
Those calling for his resignation (director of Anne Frank Center, Nancy Pelousy, most of the dim party and MSM) always want the resignation of anyone in the Trump admin. for any reason at all. No news there.
So it’s ok to compare Trump to Hitler but a tyrant who actually does gas and murder his own citizens can’t be compared to Hitler, who gassed and murdered his own citizens. Something wrong with this.
I wasn’t just German Jews Hitler tried to eradicate. i.e. “his own people”. Was it ?
Wolf treats George Soros with much more respect. Go figure.
Yes! Giving the MSM a scalp will cause them to back off and play nice! They ought to present President Trump with a list of those who need to be gone (and if he himself is on the list, so be it).
