When Spicer applied alternative facts to the Holocaust during Passover we all had the same thought:

Is SNL live or taped this Saturday.

Live

Unfortunately Fallon is the guest host but Spicer should be toast by the cold opening.

Analysis of what happened:

Bannon circulates a memo suggesting that key spokesman should say what Mattis did say at his press conference, "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons on the battlefield".

Spicer garbles it out, backs up and mashes it a second and third time.

Result:

Whatever possible uptick there may have been by launching the Tomahawks would be wiped out, once again, by the idiot Spicer. If any competent person would be willing to take the job Spicer would be gone but doubtful they could ever find anyone to take the position at this point.

Hitler was busy gassing millions of people off the battlefield. It is a grossly inappropriate comparison in either case.

Saying Hitler didn't use gas in the front lines is directly out of the playbook if Neo Nazis for decades. They think that means he didn't have gas at all and that proved the Holocaust was not real.

Spicer may have just been repeating what he heard in the White House.

There are in fact Neo Nazis in the White House.

63 million Americans sit at home eating boogers and expressing their appreciation for all of Trump's accomplishments to date.
