my fave thing about this is the fact he paused right after he said hitler, thought about what he was going to say, then said it anyways.

I would do a terrible job as White House Press Secretary. But that's also one of the reasons why I'm not the White House Press Secretary...

His main job is to communicate, seems like he should have that part nailed down.

his clarification included him referring to Syrian victims as innocent, implying the jews werent

This sounds like one of those, "that's nitpicking!" things but language really does expose people's attitudes sometimes.

Even his correction was ridiculous. His comparison of Assad and Hitler was just a disaster from the beginning

Someone at that job shouldn't need a correction on a statement like that. Small mistakes ok, but not that

Thabk you. This is blatantly obvious. Nobody wants to takd it this way though. Because then they cant be pricks.
ihateeverythingandmore
MV50
At the end of the day it's still extermination of your foes with chemical weapons. The Jews were always the enemies in nazi Germany.
packasmacks
There's a difference between executing prisoners efficiently and forcing slow, agonizing deaths on your citizens.

They were citizens. Zyklon B death is slow and agonizing. So fuck you.

If you go to Auschwitz and see the finger nails marks on the walls you'll see how slow and agonizing it was

Jesus, you people love moving the goalposts. Zyklon B and nerve gas are completely different. You can't drop Zyklon B bombs on people.

You are lying to yourself and everyone else if you're saying that Hitler used chemical weapons in WW2.

Then he's still a dumb fuck for not being specific. He's the Press Secretary for fuck's sake.

Title dictates responsibility. Don't be illogical trying to defend this colossal fucktard.
packasmacks
It was a bad move bringing up Hitler at all, but people are still misinterpreting his statement. He went on to correct himself after.
DoingItWrongSince1980
Because his correction made no sense either. You did a much better job. See if he's hiring a press secretary for the press secretary.
packasmacks
With the given context, any reasonable person would draw the same conclusion that I did. Posts like this strip away context.
AncientSeraph
I agree in this case. Using Hitler as an example is a retarded idea in almost literally any situation, but that's the extent of the
AncientSeraph
retardedness of that comment. Weapons vs tools is quite a bit different.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
It was an attempt to paint Assad as worse than Hitler, so in that regard I'd still call it a pretty big fail.
BattloidKouji
"I think when you come to sarin gas, [Hitler] was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing" direct quote.
packasmacks
That is correct. Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in the same way that Assad is. Hitler didn't drop chemical bombs in cities.
BattloidKouji
But you just said he was talking about war. he wasn't.
packasmacks
He literally prefaced the quote at hand with "We didn't even use chemical weapons in WW2"
UnsolicitedRichardPicture
So he's trying to say Assad is worse because while hitler killed 6+ million prisoners, at least he didn't use sarin as a weapon.
packasmacks
No, he's saying nerve gas is a weapon so horrible that Hitler didn't use it.
MamaKin
Because the 45th administration is rife with antisemitism and are a bunch of insensitive assholes. Happy Passover, btw.
MamaKin
Oh...and all but three of my father's family survived the death camps. I just felt to share that to emphasize how badly this was to some.
Aesurah
I'm going to get in trouble but it's true hilter didn't use chemical weapons on the battlefield. He gassed people on an industrial scale.
wadenelson1
Except Hitler's troops reportedly DID use chemical weapons in the battle of the Kerch Peninsula in the Crimean Peninsula.
alostgeneration
He said he didn't use chemical weapons on his own people when hitler most certainly did unless you don't think German Jews are real Germans
Penii
No he didn't say that watch it again.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
True, but he still used it on his own citizens which is arguably worse than using it on a warzone where civvies can easily be caught in it.
DrKriegersClone
Don't kid yourself, Assad isn't just indifferent to civilian collateral damage, he's trying to kill any civilian outside of his control.
Aesurah
He didn't use mustard gas because he got gassed with it in WW1. Sadly for us it didn't kill him.
RoyalewithCHeeSes
Did you know a British soldier had Hitler in his sights, within spitting distance and let him go because he felt bad for him. He was unarmed
Aesurah
Yea, I bet he regretted that later.
alostgeneration
He said he didn't use chemical weapons on his own people when hitler most certainly did unless you don't think German Jews are real Germans
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Or real people.
Aesurah
I said he didn't use them on the battlefield. Which is true. Those gas chambers were death factories not warzones.
SteveMND
I'm pretty sure that is exactly what Hitler thought.
HiddenSanity
And homosexuals, disabled, deformed, political dissidents... Hitler killed a LOT of Germans.
MarioBoon
The nazis spent a decade convincing Germans that German jews were not real Germans

StanJeff
Why would someone downvote this?
Munchman347
Because it tars the DT's with the brush of ignorance and insensitivity, and Trumpeter's don't like his warts exposed...
Aesurah
Going by the other comment I think they misunderstood the part about battlefield use vs industrial scale.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
Because it's needlessly pedantic.
Aesurah
Yeah plus I feel comparing Death Factories for civilians to Weapons used in war lessens the horror that is systematic slaughter of innocents
DrKriegersClone
There kind of is a difference between executing prisoners and a weapon of war, though.
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
We're talking about genocide. We're talking about the systemic murder of millions of innocent people based on their religion. There is not
QuasiIntellectualChimpanzee
a meaningful distinction here that isn't needless hair splitting.

Mentok
Yea that's a big problem for a press secretary. Seems like talking should be a strong suit if that's 95% of your job.
SteveMND
It should, but Trump is terrible at communicating as well. I sure he thinks Spicer is just fine, and Spicer certainly tows the party line!
StillbornGod
Everybody watch the actual news carefully, because a gaffe that big probably means they're about to pass some shit law again.

ElPoloDiablo
Granted that's relatively true, but not because they didn't want to. Goering pointed out that logistics of Wehrmacht relied on horses 1/2
ElPoloDiablo
and there was no gas mask horses could wear. This meant that gas was effectively useless. It's also a bad point to make overall.
projecthelios
Because that's somehow better?
packasmacks
Not sure where you got that from, sure as hell wasn't me. Just pointing out the fact that people are misinterpreting his statement.
btss531
He went on to clarify that Hitler never used chemical weapons on his own people like Assad did. Which, y'know, is wrong.

He was very clearly talking about Hitler not using chemical weapons in the war or on civilians. Feel free to keep playing dumb.

packasmacks
If you want to get technical, which I can see you do. The people in the camps were prisoners. The gas used was pesticide, not a weapon.

All of that is beside the point. The people in camps were going to be killed, the method of killing them is inconsequential. 1/2

His entire point is that they weren't used by Hitler as a tool of war in WW2, he is not wrong.
