Berlin – German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman says that comparing Nazi war crimes to present-day situations “leads to nothing good” — a reaction to his U.S. counterpart’s remarks about Syrian President Bashar Assad’s use of chemical weapons.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s invoking of the Holocaust to illustrate the severity of chemical weapons use drew rebukes from Jewish groups and critics.
Spicer apologized on Tuesday for making an “inappropriate and insensitive” comparison.
He had said that Adolf Hitler “didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.” Critics noted the remark ignored Hitler’s use of gas chambers to exterminate Jews.
Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert said Wednesday that Spicer’s comment “only shows what is in any case the German government’s position — any comparison of current situations with Nazi crimes leads to nothing good.”
Trumpie’s spokes-yutz denigrates the 6 million martyrs with idiotic statements. The rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the decaying Orange Yam. A pox on Spicer.
As we move down the path of MAGA, you and your crazy compatriots will have a harder and harder time finding anti-Trump nits to pick (Spicer has already profusely apologized on this one, for example).
Eventually, very soon, you will run out of nits. What will you ever do then?
Spicer had nothing to apologize about.
