"Asked by Blitzer, who, exactly he was apologizing to, Spicer said, 'Well, clearly, anybody who not just suffered in the holocaust or is a descendant of anybody, but frankly anyone who was offended by those comments.'
Then, in another verbal hiccup, the spokesman said he hadn't meant to be a distraction as Trump tried to 'destabilize the region,' pointing to Syria and the Middle East. "
Oh dear...
He probably forgot about Hitler sending poison gas through shower vents. One can’t recall ever atrocity committed by totalitarians at the drop of a hat.
Okay, he stepped in it. I can’t say it’s not a big deal, but I don’t think he should step down over it.
It’s my take he was probably focused on domestic and military actions in Germany and abroad, and wasn’t focused on the death camps.
He should apologize and be allowed to move on.
I’m sure he feels bad about it. I would.
DON’T APOLOGIZE TO THESE STUPID FRIGGIN LIBERAL IDIOTS!!!!
So only liberals can define Hitler and how bad Hitler was...???
And I guess it’s okay for liberals to proclaim that anyone they disagree with is “literally” Hitler, too, right?
I get that it he fouled up his talking point, but geez louise. And really now— there are plenty of despots throughout world history who could arguably be described as “worse than Hitler”. You could carry on a debate forever on the subject.
Liberals are so freakin stupid !!!!! With their small, boxed-in tiny, little minds.
Repubs will start demanding his resignation in 5-4-3...
If you apologize even A LITTLE, this type of person is hugely emboldened and demands more and more and more.
Better not to apologize or explain at ALL.
This is true.
Destabilize the middle east, huh? Spicer making a bad day worse. I feel sorry for him.
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.
How often do Liberal’s resign when they make a commentary mistake during their job?
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.
“Grovels”??
Um, no, he explained his verbal error. End of story.
> 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.
Give me a break! The left just wants another scalp. President Trump should tell them to go pound sand.
I’d like to see Trump replace him with Ann Coulter.
Picking them off one by one. Sickening vultures.
Wish POTUS would tell them to stfu.
NEVER apologize to these assholes!
All this coming from people who hate the Jews and support moslems.
He’s toast.
Tell them if Sean leaves they will close the briefing room and President Trump will just Tweet the news
He’s an idiot if he resigns.
