Spicer: “I Screwed Up, I Let The President Down”; Hitler Comments Were “Inexcusable”

After what may have been the worst day in Sean Spicer’s PR career as White House press secretary, when he first suggested Adolf Hitler was better than Syria’s Assad because he did not use chemical gas, then quickly followed up by saying that Trump was seeking to “destabilize” the Middle East, on Wednesday Spicer said he let President Trump down, and apologized for his comments.
Spicer said his remark, which he said was meant to shame Syrian leader Bashar Assad for a deadly gas attack, distracted from Trump’s decision to respond with a cruise missile strike and his successful meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
“I made a mistake. There’s no other way to say it. I got into a topic that I shouldn’t have and I screwed up,” Spicer said during an event at a museum in Washington. “I hope I showed that I understand that I did that and that sought people’s forgiveness because I screwed up.”
