a handy timeline of Sean Spicer's statements and clarifications today
(Did you know that Spicer issued THREE clarifications? I didn't. They're in this article. It's like when you think you're typing something into your browser but you accidentally post it on Facebook and you try to fix it but you just keep drawing attention to yourself.
BTW, I don't usually post things with language that isn't fit for the kiddies, so I don't know what the protocol is. So just to be safe, I asterisked some things that aren't asterisked in the original.)
SPICER: I think a couple things. You look — we didn’t use chemical weapons in World War II. You had a — someone who is despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.
Oh, DID HE NOT? Sorry to all the Jewish people (and Kurt Vonnegut readers) out there who know the name of the chemical weapon (Zyklon B) Hitler used to gas the Jews by heart, for you must have been mistaken. Happy Passover, though!

SPICER: I think when you come to Sarin gas, there was no — he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Ashad (sic) is doing. I mean, there is clearly — thank you. I appreciate that. There was not — in the — he brought them into the Holocaust centers, I understand that. But I’m saying, in the way that Assad used them, where he went into towns, dropped them down to innocent, into the middle of towns, it was brought — so the use of it, I appreciate the clarification there. That was not the intent.

This is a pattern. The Trump White House forgot to mention Jews in its statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day. (Because if you mention Jews, you have to do a whole list of other people who were killed, and it’s a well known fact that lists are TOO LONG.) Shareblue’s Tommy Christopher points out that Trump didn’t see fit to go to the White House Passover seder. Meanwhile, there is an actual Hungarian Nazi named Sebastian Gorka serving as a senior adviser, and the f*ing president of the United States is basically a Nazi himself, and his name is Steve Bannon.
