Sean Spicer: Even Hitler Didn't Use Chemical Weapons

[@HighlandChicken]

Sean Spicer is such an odd little man.

[@Blakbox92]

He has such a weird looking face, he's like a wax sculpture of himself.

[@jedkemekt2062]

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.

[@Blakbox92]

@brendan wood Are you replying to the wrong comment or are you speaking to the voices in your head? Nobody is talking about Israel in this thread.

[@yasirm.k.61]

true united states did not use chemical weapons on civilians in WWII yet two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan resulting in the largest "collateral damage" in history

[@MrMayhemVI]

And.....

[@IslamoradaHO]

Michael Ray he is saying that our country is a hypocrite

[@MrMayhemVI]

And I'm saying that you two need to go back to high school and demand the education you should have received the first time. Completely unrelated scenarios.

[@alexiatr]

Michael Ray of course they are unrelated, they were worse that this. The bombs killed millions of people and left the land destroyed​ for decades, there is no point of comparison between the damage they caused with this "chemical Attack".

[@gia257]

thousands, hundreds of, cities werent that packed in japan yet

[@green4760]

Wasn't Agent Orange used by the US during the Vietnam war

[@MrMayhemVI]

Yes it was. Your point?

[@IslamoradaHO]

Michael Ray he is pointing out a hypocrisy. That wasn't obvious to you?

[@MrMayhemVI]

You might want to educate yourself on Vietnam and Agent Orange before you make more of a fool of yourself than you already have.

[@peanutawesome1]

Michael Ray teach us ol wise one. Tell us how a chemical used in war wasn't chemical warfare.

[@MrMayhemVI]

Agent Orange was used as a defoliant, not as a weapon. It was used to get rid of the jungle canopy that the NVA was concealed under. It was not deployed against troops or formations. And it's relevant to note that US forces got nailed just as hard by it because they didn't use protective gear when handling it. So, if Agent Orange was (at the time) considered "chemical warfare", don't you think the people handling it would have insisted on hazmat suits and gas masks?

[@eliw-ph2yi]

Sean Spicer probably wishes he was the White House Easter bunny again.

[@mattkolb2579]

eliw 6965 For sure he's not having an Eggcellent time with this one.

[@IgnarHusky]

eliw 6965 He is a furry after all. He does this in bed with Trump nightly anyway. Doesn't have to be just Easter, but hey.. It's the season right now after all ;)

[@kdub1242]

Aw shucks, Spicy will always be the WH Easter bunny.

[@venenodelalengua]

it's his favorite holiday because it commemorates the murder of a Jew

[@puppylovergirl303]

Rachel Schmied holy shit 😂😂😂

[@jonathanramirez232]

Snl already has a skit for this.

[@brandonreed09]

Jonathan Ramirez *Esteban* absolutely

[@brownsugar2142]

Jonathan Ramirez *Esteban* I don't think so.. only because I can't think of any skit that can top Spicer.. the idiot has really outdone himself this time.. yet I may still be surprised.. go on snl show us what you got

[@cjojay]

hmmm i dunno. a sensitive topic. snl may steer clear of it

[@ramblinggoats408]

Sean Spicer looks like a constipated turtle.

[@fresh11368]

Rambling Goats lol

[@briankim3472]

Mitch Mccornnell?

[@wulf8121]

now i can't unsee it!

[@paulanull8731]

Mitch McConnell has been called "Turtle' for years. This year he has been smiling a lot which makes him even spookier.

[@Godsbabysbcglobalnet]

Rambling Goats LOL!!!

[@rocky19421]

This administration is like a bad comedy....

[@tygerion4404]

No Kidding! I mean, you know the government's a joke when a requirement to work for the white house is that you need to be unquestioningly loyal (read: a mindless drone) to Trump (I'm fairly certain that being able to think for yourself is NOT a valid, legal reason to fire people, BTW).

[@01ProFfs]

Which one was not?

[@Oldskoolguitar]

rocky19421 It's Always Sunny in D.C.

[@nothingforgrantedPS23]

He doesn't need to lose his job over this imo. Dude apologized already! Give em a break hey.

[@ironmantis25]

Just love seeing this administration implode

[@rouge1ful]

we all do

[@wgjung1]

He killed them with his charm.

[@showdownproductions]

On 3 September, 1939 a flight of German bombers dropped bombs containing sulfur mustard gas on a Warsaw suburb.

[@grayday8089]

Spicer also just announced that there will be a vote in the UK to allow them to become an American territory and he also said Ireland could join also but only if the UK joins because that would be weird.

[@rickpad4095]

didn't the u.s use the atomic bomb :/

[@terraingenesis3384]

It actually saved lives on both sides by ending the war with Jaoan.

[@ArtistXXX]

Terrain Genesis Japan

[@maxwessel7786]

Terrain Genesis umm, bit of a logic issue there. example: cowboys dont want to storm a house full of robbers. so they burn down the house killing everyone inside. any lives saved are speculative, where as the actual death toll is an actual death toll. and i just dont believe that narrative, i think japan was on its last legs. their navy was decimated, their airforce was decimated. we probably could have just ignored them til the end of the war at that point. No way they could have recuperated enough to launch another attack on the US before the end of the war. Not with so many of their factories burned.

[@295Phoenix]

Yes, and it saved millions of lives.

[@Aes_Saru]

295Phoenix and ended hundred of million lives.

[@pvthitch]

Sean Spicer said today, "President Trump will not be attending the White House Easter Egg Roll because he doesn't like Chinese Food."

[@eternaldragonoid9979]

Hiroshima and Nagasaki never happened then Spicer?

[@eternaldragonoid9979]

Read above reply...... -_-

[@blazedandconfused477]

sorry, my bad! I couldn't see the other comments.

[@THEGUYWHOSHOOTSPPL]

It's true that that was a horrific incident but still, Those where nuclear bombs, they are radioactive because of fusion, which makes worse than different sorts of chemical weapons.

[@ryanarellano3736]

A nuke isn't a chemical weapon. But your point about targeting non-combatant stands

[@eternaldragonoid9979]

OK I think I should make this clear for all. I know nukes are not chemical weapons.

[@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342]

I think it should be in the law now that SNL HAS to do a spicer skit on this lololol

[@howlingGeorge]

jewelry banging on desk can become pretty annoying ....

[@robinvik1]

Sean Spicer is like a seventh grader trying to hold a presentation he didn't prepare for.

[@acefrehley1469]

not to mention we used agent orange on our soldiers in Vietnam, now we gotta invade ourselves.

[@danieleggen182]

Do you know what agent orange is?

[@acefrehley1469]

Yes a chemical agent used to kill vegetation, improperly tested resulting in uncountable deaths do to the u.s governments lack of accountability. Why do you ask?

[@paulanull8731]

Agent orange was used to defoliate US forestry Service pine plantations of deciduous trees because the pine had better resale value for many years. Many Power companies with rural power lines use Agent Orange to defoliate underneath because hiring people was more expensive. So both in Vietnam and the USA peoples lives were destroyed by this terrible chemical. The US Forestry service didn't stop using it until about 1977-78. Illegally it was continued until 1979 and 1980 in northern Wisconsin and it was discovered in use by the power company(s). The state went after them and won. Those executives knew damn well what it did just like the military that uses chemical agents knew then and now. So many of us exposed to Agent Orange have so many immunological disorders it is stunning. Many of my ex-military friends have Parkinson's and can still smell the stuff in their dreams. Those of the civilian groups have lots of weird stuff but M.G, MS, severe Thyroid problems like Hashmoto's, cancers etc., other stuff too much to name.

[@danieleggen182]

Made ya look

[@KainErrow]

How did the press not simply EXPLODE in laughter at that statement?!

[@kingrichards101]

he's not a idiot..they are conditioning the people for what is coming.

[@KC24987]

can't wait for SNL to pick up on this lol

[@iomega2]

I vote Sean Spicer (sounds like a pornname) to be spokesperson for United Airlines.

[@cera_alba]

Watch the expressions of the journalists surrounding the woman who asked for clarification. Priceless.

[@RAC91]

What happened with Gas Chambers? He must have been homeschooled by Betsy Devos, and took his alternative chemistry with professor Conway at Breitbart School of Alternative Facts at Trump University.

[@sportsfan723]

Spicer is what happens from too much exposure to Betsy DeVos lol

[@ShannonJacobs0]

So now it's time to start talking about President Kushner?

[@Farmlandsfallfan]

'I made a mistake, lets forget it and move on' What a great defence haha

[@angelrojo3846]

this administration is a CIRCUS SHOW!

[@shlomoaziz7192]

NO BUNNY SUIT FOR YOU THIS EASTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE :))

[@lujoja8226]

I think that he was trying to say that not even the Nazis, despite all the war crimes the SS etc. committed in the field, used chemical weapons to attack civilian targets in war. Of course, Zyklon-B was used in the extermination camps during the Holocaust, but I think Spicer was terribly trying to say in his clarification that he was talking in the context of the use of chemical weapons in warfare. I get the gist of what he is saying but it is not really clear; I understand the sentiment of what he's trying to say - that he is trying to condemn Assad's use of chemical weaponry in the Syrian Civil War - but he just made a hash out of his wording. He should have made it more clear, when asked to clarify, that he was not talking about the holocaust but the use of chemical weaponry to attack civilian targets in war. Spicer has made a lot of gaffs but, to be fair, this is not really his biggest; sure he displayed a level of incompetence via his inability to sufficiently clarify what he was saying, but its not like he did or said anything outright wrong - he just phrased it poorly.

[@NyakzOTSD]

yuup true

[@caitieeeee]

But... they did??? They used chemical weapons in Russia.

[@lujoja8226]

*+Caitie Regan* The only things I can think of are when they used smoke to drive Soviet troops out of the caverns below Sevastopol during the Siege of Sevastopol and when they used it again to clear out the catacombs of Odessa during the Siege of Odessa. They used smoke to force them to come out and surrender (or at least fight in the open) as it means that they do not have to risk sending men into a death trap like catacombs which are a defenders wet dream. IMO, this is totally different to bombarding a city or town with a nerve agent like sarin, or even bombarding enemy fortifications with poison like chlorine (as in WW1). I'm pretty sure it was just smoke, but if it was poison I stand corrected. Also, these are exceptions not the rule - the Nazis generally did not use chemical weaponry in war. They had some really nasty chemical weapons - they developed nerve agents (tabun, sarin, and soman) that they considered using to defend the Atlantic Wall, which would have wreaked havoc on D-Day, but they opted against it. I'm not saying that the Nazis wouldn't have used them if they could or that they would - it was a combination of the fact that they were fearful of the Allies retaliating with chemical weapons and also that logistically they were not able to transport it efficiently to the front lines as it would need to be transported primarily on horse and cart and there was no gas mask that was effective to use on a draft horse. If there was an incident that I just don't know of when poison gas or nerve agents were used on the battlefield to attack civilian targets then I stand corrected; as far as I am aware they didn't use them (certainly not on the Western Front, or in North Africa). However, I'm not an expert on the Eastern Front (I have reasonable knowledge but I definitely don't know everything) and it wouldn't surprise me if the Nazis did actually use them tbh.

[@dmc8092]

A distinction without a difference.

[@brownsugar2142]

Luke Jo Ja there were Germans who perished in the camps along with the Jews and polish and other nationalities .. what Sean Spicer said was totally wrong on any level ... period

[@paulfogartysongs]

Spicer's pre-paid vocabulary card ran out of credit right in the middle of a press conference there...

[@ACOMX-jl4zf]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rynegreen7902]

When the woman ask the question he should had said "yeah I didn't think this out"

[@ironbowtie]

I can see an SNL skit coming out of this.

[@GonzalezAlfie]

Hasan Spiker = Closing Tab No thanks.

[@PhysicsDude55]

Can't stand Hasan either.

[@timthatshim8037]

Alfie Gonzalez Agreed

[@torinju]

How did you post a comment with a closed tab?

[@GonzalezAlfie]

Same here, and on days like this where pretty much every video involves him I just have to skip my nightly TYT dose. I get that he wants to be nice to his nephew but he is simply an unlikable character. Put him on a desk, let him be an editor, researcher, whatever. Just not in front of the camera. He is the epitome of vapid airhead who tries to use 'big words' and makes himself look even dumber than he probably is.

[@GonzalezAlfie]

In this case I didn't follow my own rule and added a step before closing the tab. Sue me for expressing my frustration with not being able to sit through some "Hasan - wisdom" nuggets.

[@TheDarkDresser]

I knew all along that Spicer was winging it.

Sean Spicer is exactly the press secretary this president deserves!

[@cideryeti7957]

Something I have just realised the US is the ONLY country to use all 3 WMD's. Infected blankets for the natives. Biological. Small Pox Chemical weapons WW1. Chemical. Agent Orange Nuclear weapons WW2. Nuclear. Little Boy, Fat Man USA! USA! USA! Now I have written that out makes me kind of scared as to what they will do next.

[@mateoguevara2039]

is it just me or does sean spicer sounds like a nervous teen giving a class presentation

[@TylerHosman]

When I press the Facebook SHARE button under the video, I have experienced in many instances, the LINK to the video does not appear in the body of the POST. Like I stated this happens a lot... I always will just exit the window of the POST, then click the SHARE button again to open another window. Although I sometimes have to click this button 3-5 times for it to finally display the THUMBNAIL with the LINK correctly in the POST window. Can someone explain why this happens? P.S. could it be the government? O.O

[@roroyo2708]

sean spicer is that one kid who hid in the back of the classroom eating a tub of glue paste.. now he eats gum.

[@Toumoriryuu]

Um... apparently history didn't exist before World War II? It's irritating that anyone tries to give him credit after clarifying that he meant "on the battlefield" and ignores the fact that everyone was using chemical weapons in World War I, making the entire statement remarkably stupid in the first place.

[@LizardanNet]

No!!! Leave Spicer where he is. The parodies are so much fun!

[@LuizAlexPhoenix]

I say Sean Spicer should go ahead and prove his point. Get inside a chamber and fill it with Hydrogen Cyanide. I mean, I am sure it's harmless... It won't hurt him whatsoever...

[@romeoelopez24]

Sean Spicer should just stick with the Bunny costume.

[@pamelashade3958]

You all are wonderfully coherent and bring forth clarity and provoke thought. Thank you.

[@shahwiqarshahin2130]

If asked, CNN would say it was a "beautiful" press release.

[@DriveByBacon]

In Sean Spicer's defence, As far as I'm aware during WW2 Germany did not use chemical weapons as a weapon of war, on the battlefield against military targets or against civilians. Such as dropping gas on towns, but they did of course drop plenty of explosives. The Nazis did however use chemical weapons, small arms and starvation to kill millions of civilians in death camps. Giving him the benefit of the doubt I think that's what he may have tried to say but as usual he made a mess of delivering his message.

[@domgia9248]

Chemical weapons are so much less offensive when they're used behind close doors.

[@trodapulse5581]

Trumps hair should get him impeached

[@hoopsonwheels]

How and why was the guy hired for the position of press secretary

[@trent8002003]

Why does he always look like he had just ordered the culling of a pod of seals???

[@peterherron4222]

Spicers 'apology' will be 'What are you upset about. It's not like Stalin got upset about what people said. You should be sent to eat Goulash'

[@lolabigcups7121]

Lol he sounded like Trump when he tried to clarify.

[@TheDeathwalker86]

The echo in here Is deafening

[@IronmanV5]

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Sean Spicer would promote NAMBLA as a wholesome organization that just wants to help young children.

[@brookemcquale5096]

Hey! Just signed up at the Holocaust Center here at Mar-a-Lago and so far it's been great. They have free showers (funny though, no drains) and they have these wonderful blue bath salts they apparently drop from the ceiling. I haven't tried that yet but I can't wait. There seems to be quite a line to get in, but it's strange how most of the people I see on line don't seem very happy. And a friend of mine told me that as he was walking by one of the ""showers" and the door was ajar and that he noticed there were all these strange scratch marks on the walls and that the walls seemed to have an odd iron-red stain on them. I wonder what all these ash flakes I see raining down about the complex are, they seem to be coming from the Holocaust Center's recycling plant? Oh well.

[@MHadron]

That poor guy, he looks tired fed up and drained. He needs some B12 vitamins.

[@AlternativeDesign100]

Well, H didn't use "chemical weapons" e.g. as they were used in ww1. Of course he gased millions of prisoners, but the horrific systematic gassing of people as an organised hideous crime is not the same as using "chemical weapons" such as bombs, artillery or rockets, and H in fact did not use such "weapons", however he was very guilty of systematic genocide by gassing of imprisoned people. The problem is the misuse of the word "weapon" and no longer making clear distinctions these days, mixing everything up, a very modern trait. I do hope this is not misinterpreted as any kind of support for H or spicer, which it definitely is not, not in the slightest. I'm purely on about semantics here, only.

[@knight099159]

[@ijdgaf323]

So Melissa McCarthy is gonna be opening SNL this week now?

[@confessionsofalunatic5302]

The Nazis used chemicals as a method of execution, not as weapons. Alas, a population raised on Holocaust porn can easily be tricked into thinking there's some kind of controversy here.

[@PorcuDuckSlug]

His clarification made it worse. I didn't even know it was possible

[@rockstorubble]

The first full-scale deployment of deadly chemical warfare agents during World War I was at the Second Battle of Ypres, on April 22, 1915, when the Germans attacked French, Canadian and Algerian troops with chlorine gas.

[@andrewkohler3707]

"We didn't use chemical weapons in World War II." But, we dropped two atom bombs. (And, of course, everything else is wrong about what he said, too.)

As a German, whenever I hear Sean Spicer talk, I feel this thing called "Fremdschämen" which means being embarrassed and cringing because of what someone else is doing/saying. Ugghhhh. He takes it to a whole new level. Sometimes I almost feel bad for him...almost. He clearly doesn't understand 90% of what he's being told to talk about.

[@racineg33]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! He actually said that! I can't even...
