He was CLEARLY only referring to the context of war. Anyone saying he's engaged in holocaust denial is either an idiot, or, more likely, just wants to throw outrageous claims at Trump's cabinet to see what sticks.
Obviously he shouldn't have said what he said, but he apologized. That should be enough for any reasonable person.
Are you KIDDING ME?! This man is a monster and this whole admistration is made up of fools! 15 million jews died because of people like Trump and Spicer needs to resign!
On passover no less!

John "The Jews Are Lying" Spicer must immediately recuse himself from his position, and I call on President Mossad to appoint a jew in his place as a gesture of good will to all the victims of the atrocities and genocide committed against the Jews.

He was actually trying to say that Assad is worse than literally Hitler and fucked it up massively.

So it's another case of "don't take the Trump administration literally"?
Even if we don't take him literally he still implied that what Assad did is WORSE than the holocaust. Now I'm not a democrat, but I think it's time that Spicer lost his job and someone took Trump away from the nuclear codes.

I don't know what the controversy is about. Isn't if common knowledge that the Germans didn't use chemical weapons in WWII?
