Sean Spicer Needs To Go....Now

Less than three months into the Trump Administration and there's already been a lot of turnover. Michael Flynn's departure, K.T. McFarland, Steve Bannon departing the NSC and possibly headed out the door.


White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer should join that list - immediately.


Evidently Hitler did not gas the Jews:


We didn't use chemical weapons in World War II. You had a — someone who is as despicable as Hitler who didn't even use chemical weapons.


When Spicer tried to clarify his remarks, he only dug himself further:


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, there was not in the — he brought them into the Holocaust center. But I'm saying that in the way that Assad used them, where he went into towns, dropped them down into innocent — into the middle of towns.


By referring concentration camps as "Holocaust Centers", Spicer makes them sound like recreational facilities.


Then Spicer further tightened the noose:


In no way was I trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust. However, I was trying to draw a contrast of the tactic of using airplanes to drop chemical weapons on innocent people.


I suppose Holocaust survivors should be grateful to Hitler that he did not need to drop chemical weapons upon their loved ones. These "Holocaust Center" had chemical weapons stored in-house for easy use.


Despite Spicer's hideous stupidity and cruelty, I doubt he will go anywhere. After all, it was President Trump who commemorated the Holocaust without mentioning the Jews and, in fact, deliberately put a kibosh on a statement drafted by the State Department which made reference to the Jews. Spicer didn't exactly cover himself in glory at the time stating those who criticized the Administration were "pathetic." Those "pathetic" people would include the United States Holocaust Museum.


As long as Sean Spicer remains the face of the Trump Administration, it will be perceived as reckless and incompetent. If Trump is smart, he will give Spicer his walking papers.
