The dumb mistake White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer made in stating that Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons, when in fact the Nazis killed millions of people with poison gas, was outrageous, and his clarifying remarks were equally as stupid, but there’s one famous leftist who only four years ago also claimed Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.
Spicer initial foray into fiction came about when he was attempting to compare Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to Hitler by pointing out the Nazi government did not release chemical weapons on the battlefield during World War II. Spicer said, “You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” When reporters asked him to clarify his remarks, he continued, “I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing …. But in the way that Assad used them, where he went into towns and dropped them down to innocent in the middle of towns.”
