Spicer can't bring himself to say that the Jews were also Germans

[Recursion]

That's telling.

1. I suspect that Spicer's knowledge of the Holocaust is as

limited as his knowledge of so many other things. Like Trump, he has no sense of history at all. He slept through all of those classes, I have no doubt.

We have a government of ignorami.

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. He is ignornant of course, but as anti semites in his mind

a Jewish person is not a person the way a white person or christian is.

So when he says Hitler didnt gas people, that is what he means because Jewish people arent really people.

4. Bannon and Spicer know the history very well. They also know that NeoNazi Breitbartians

and Infowar Mouthbreathers are into Holocaust denial.

2. Many were, but the majority of Jewish victims of the Holocaust weren't German.

Most came from Poland and the other Eastern European countries conquered by Germany during the war.

Not that German Jews didn't suffer the same horrific fate as the others, but there were more of them elsewhere than from inside Germany.

[Phentex]

5. That's what shocked me the most...

he back tracked to say he used chemicals in Holocaust centers, but I think he really meant that Jews were not "Hitler's own people"

This man is a complete idiot.

6. I'm thinking he must have heard someone else say it (like Bannon)

and just repeated it without thinking.

[Iggo]

7. ...or innocent. (n/t)

[Recursion]

8. Right? (nt)

[TheBlackAdder]

9. Sean Spicer mistake will get him fired. Not for the Hitler comment, but acknowledging the holocaust.
