But he wasn't wrong. Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in the war. Cyanide gas in death camps is not war. It's silly, not incorrect.
BottomKek
Funny thing: my history text book in the chapter about the Spanish civil war cryicized Franco's forces for using gas at guernica, and (1/2)
BottomKek
(2/2) said that even Hitler didn't use gas in combat.

@OP some context for those of us who live under a rock?
Draciallia
Spicer claimed that Hitler never used chemical weapons on his own people. Which is wrong. He also claimed that Hitler was better than Assad

Which is a compliment by nearly every measure

Oh what did the fuckwit do this time.
rudejohn
He definitely didn't compliment Hitler in any way.
RomanadvoratrelundarTimeLord
He said Hitler didn't use chemical weapons on Germans and then in his clarification he called concentration camps "holocaust centers".
SanSilv
He stumbled on words when he realized that no matter what he said he was going to get shit on.
chiefWANTUMyoung
Holocaust centers dose not sound better then concentration camps btw...
Sm9yCg
"Holocaust centers" are memorials, actually.
HousePest
"Even hitler didn't use chemical weapons!" And then, later, "No I just meant, even hitler wasnt bad enough to use chemical weapons on his
HousePest
own citizens." Both statements are false.
SanSilv
He meant fucking battlefield usage holy fuck. I'm not big on Trump but that is obviously what the dude meant.
HousePest
I mean, except its obviously not?
PinkyToeSlayerOfTableLegs
I really want to know.
ATuningFork
Well, I think this in reference to how he stated (blatantly wrongly) that Hitler didn't use chemical weapons...
KobaltKnight
And then clarified that he meant that Hitler didn't use chemical weapons on German citizens.
itsabooper
On his people* Probably meant Hitler doesn't consider jewish germans to be his people, even if they sided with his beliefs.
WildBluntHickok
Which was equally wrong
wambu

Inexperienced Trump was going to hire "the best & brightest staff" to make up for it. Well how is that working out for him? And for us?
TobiasFunkeAnalrapist
Well, if he wanted a press officer who would take attention away from the policies they're passing, he couldn't have chosen much better.

LizardEnterprises
1/2 In this particular case? Fantastic. Unlike most spokespeople, Spicer's background is not press. It's flack. It's been his job to punch
LizardEnterprises
2/2 holes in stories his employers don't like; To discredit, not inform. He's still doing that job, and he's pretty good at it.

It's like spot on, I thought. His colleagues in the press corps who knew him from before don't have negative things to say about him.
Leios
He went apologised publicly for his remarks and admitted to his screw up. Seems like an all right guy based on what iv seen.
popejubal
Sort of. He apologized for his "mistake" and didn't bother to even correct himself afterwards.
puffyjacket69
He's had a dozen or more total goof ups which he has never corrected or apologized for. Period. He's a cowardly mouth piece.
waitwasthatreal
To be fair, he didn't mean to say it like that, he meant battlefield, he just isn't that great of a spokesperson. It's the same thing 1/2
waitwasthatreal
As Chris Mathews in 2013- https://youtu.be/zDdif1CkX_k
JackZigler
"He didn't use them on the battlefield, he just used them on defenseless civilians!" is not what you'd call a good defense.
waitwasthatreal
No it's not. I think he is just not terribly bright and has a difficult job
BreadyStinellis
He's not a great spokesperson. Sounds like maybe he shouldn't have his job.
waitwasthatreal
I don't disagree with you
SomeCrazyNerd
I feel sorry for this guy having to be Trump's spokesperson.
shackslam
I don't, they're made for each other.
Groznek
Ehh, he's said plenty of extremely stupid shit on his own.
SomeCrazyNerd
I think most of it is just understandable mistakes and awkwardness though. Especially dealing with Trump's policies.
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
No. He's supposed to be good at speaking to press and he bombs constantly. Speaking publicly is literally what he's made a living doing
SomeCrazyNerd
He's managed it fairly well at moments. A lot of the news orgs are pretty vicious to Trump and anyone associated. Magnifying failings.
Thesmithlord
Its reporting, not magnification. Spicer and Trump do it to themselves. They previously made money from being edgy, shit dont fly in the WH.

Wonder if there are other flags that mean distress upside down, Philippines means war upside down.

I was a games designer years back and we made a game in which an american flag was upside down by mistake. Hasbro accused us of satanism.

But were they right?

Ofcourse... We were all very satanist at the time.
MasterSavage
What game? And/Or who did you work for that was partnered with Hasbro?

In testing, some times a US flag appeared upside down, which was anti-american and satanism. Because, ofcourse, USA = good and christian.
TheLordofMelons
That's hilarious. People over here take a flag more seriously than what it is meant to represent. "I pledge my allegiance to the flag"
Janusha
One version of Worms for Playstation. Hasbro was our american publisher. The second largest toy manufacturer in the world after Mattel.

I must say thank you @Janusha . I've always loved the Worms games and have had a version of it on every game capable device I've ever owned.

mangolimes
Manufacturers make the pin too thin and it slips from the grip.
TheJudgeHasItBackwards
The upside-down pin is the least ridiculous thing about Sean Spicer in his role as press secretary. He perfectly embodies this White House.
GoCorral
My experience with those pins is that they constantly slip upside down like that.
CommTeam6
Thats why good pins have two other mini-prongs to keep them in place and level
SpecialProjectY
Or the pin is at the middle-top of the back, instead in the center...
BikerRay
His was probably made in China by Trump Enterprises.
Cheomesh
Can confirm; used to wear a company pin and it would seemingly on its own accord just kind of rotate about.
LetumComplexo
That's why you're supposed to make the pins off center, so that their own weight keeps them centered. But no, that would be too easy.
Cheomesh
That's when I get it off-center, but the wrong way :(
rocketman89
It slipped; John Roberts of Fox News pointed it out IIRC. Someone joked if he was in distress. It was funny.
spudpicker
His press conferences are usually funny, though Spicer is rarely in on the joke.
davidbowieeyes
Hendlton
Maybe the flag itself is in distress because it doesn't want to be so close to him.
SuperBobKing
It looks like it is the right way from his point of view.
JohnnyTitelips
Australian?
SuperBobKing
It is on his shirt, so he has to look down to see it, which makes things look upside down. It was a joke because I think he is probably...

I thought he said "this point of view." My bad.
