Anne Frank Center calls for Spicer to be fired

[n2doc]

The Anne Frank Center on Tuesday called for White House press secretary Sean Spicer to be fired after his comments claiming Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons during World War II.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the center's executive director blasted Spicer, saying the press secretary "lacks the integrity" to serve in his post.

"On Passover no less, Sean Spicer has engaged in Holocaust denial, the most offensive form of fake news imaginable, by denying Hitler gassed millions of Jews to death," Steven Goldstein said in a statement.

"Spicer's statement is the most evil slur upon a group of people we have ever heard from a White House press secretary."

1. Spicer could not be more stupid or insensitive.

I can't believe he said that! Completely moronic and tone-deaf.

[William769]

2. I call for the whole damn administration to be fired!

[rivegauche]

8. AMEN. Fired and then arrested. I want them in handcuffs. nt

[Gothmog]

3. Spicy is an idiot

[notdarkyet]

4. See what happens when you don't learn anything at school.

[3catwoman3]

5. My jaw dropped...

...when I heard that. Tone deaf to the max.

[lunatica]

6. I keep thinking that they've reached the lowest of the low

and they keep going lower!

[groundloop]

14. That's how they make us forget what they did last week.

45* must be quite pleased with himself, having not one iota of news about collusion with Russia in the news for several days now.

[lark]

7. They are totally right.

However, his very orange and hate filled boss is just as stupid and just as much of a Hitler lover as Spicey, so nothing will change.

[Grammy23]

9. If it was over almost anything else, it would be a laughing matter.

But sadly, it is not. I can't imagine how this team of screw-ups could go any lower. Some will laugh at this but truly it is a sad day when someone could make such a statement and not realize in mid-sentence how far off the rails his statement was about to plunge.

10. Kremlin Kushner & Princess I

both Jews remain silent. Jews for Hitler.

[grantcart]

11. So much for the bounce from the air strikes.

[LiberalLovinLug]

12. More ignorant and stupid than anything

Hey, even I can see what he meant. He wanted to make a point about how even the most reviled historical figure didn't use planes to drop poison gas over public cities full of families and children.

But he should have known that millions of survivors and their relatives would not take that kind of analogy lightly. He was basically saying that there is a defensible difference in gassing prisoners inside a compound, in a careful organized manner, who have been found guilty by the state (of being Jewish, gay, communist...), in the millions.

Hitler has become a meta caricature of Hitler. Using Hitler as a comparison by the right or the left is usually self-defeating. He should know that as a communications specialist.

20. He could have said, "Some of the worst dictators in history didn't..."

... and then refused to name names. In that scenario he wouldn't have raised a single eyebrow. But he has the rhetorical skills of a junior high flunk-out.

13. Recommended.

His statement was even more reprehensible than normal - and that's saying something for this administration.

[bora13]

15. spicey laughs at them

he and his ilk HATE jews. especially on passover.

[mvd]

16. He should be!

That was not just a normal gaffe. It was a disqualifying one!

[Wednesdays]

21. Just like Gropegate disqualified Trump.

Oh...wait.

[Mr. Ected]

17. Spicer grabs into his arsenal, pulls out a dog whistle, gives it a blast

And the alt-right Brannon Breitbart crowd salivate like Comrade Pavlov's dog.

[flying-skeleton]

18. Spicer should be banished for the rest of his life !!

[Lee-Lee]

19. Every time I think they can't get any lower

They have gone past rock bottom and begun to drill...

[Johnny2X2X]

22. Right from Holocaust Denier playbook

This is a line White Supremacists have been using for decades. That the Holocaust didn't happen because it Hitler had all this gas he would have used it on the front lines.

Seriously, look it up. Spicer knew exactly what he was saying and he was probably just repeating what was being said in the White House.
