A different day, a different Sean Spicer travesty.
ICYMI: Sean Spicer's briefing today went a little like this: pic.twitter.com/VTa4qVOzNy

In a press conference Tuesday, the White House spokesperson claimed that Hitler “didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons” in an attempt to justify the U.S. retaliation against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for chemical attacks. Then, in an effort, to defend his statements, Spicer called concentration camps “Holocaust centers.” On cue, Twitter had some words for him.
There was disbelief:
Trump spox Sean Spicer just said even Hitler did not use chemical weapons.
Um.
Maybe not in the battlefield — but … gas chambers?

So Sean Spicer just said "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons" Might want to fact check that one #HappyPassover

Sean Spicer's comments make me physically ill. We've gone so far beyond any normal bounds of what public officials can get away with saying.

Others commented with satire, perhaps a laugh to keep from crying moment.
Trump: Hitler never even used chemical weapons.
Sean Spicer: Sir?
Trump: Bannon said it's true!
Sean Spicer: Of course! You're my Führer!— Bill Madden (@maddenifico) April 11, 2017
Sean Spicer: "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons — *on* the battlefield! He had the common decency to round people up first." pic.twitter.com/uPsDWaBHUH

While others couldn’t get past the “Holocaust centers” categorization.
"Holocaust Centers." They're like community centers, but with more genocide.

As a rule of thumb:
And in an attempt to reach for anything positive in the situation, one Twitter user reminds us that no matter how bad a day you’re having, Sean Spicer’s is much, much worse.
