“It was
not my intention to imply that Hitler had never used chemical
weapons, but that he never used them on fellow Germans.”
There are
only two possible interpretations of this statement, both of them
vile. The first is that Sean Spicer does not consider German Jews to
be German, which is appalling and also Hitler's position on the
matter. The second is that this is just straight up Holocaust denial
from the spokesman of a President indebted to and known to employ
white nationalists, which is horrific.
But wait,
there's more! This all happened over Passover and Spicer later
referred to the Nazi concentration camps as “Holocaust centres”.
I mean, add
this to the list with the Holocaust Memorial Day statement that
didn't mention the Jewish people at all; the claim that the
desecration of Jewish cemetaries across the US wasn't down to white
nationalists but Jewish people trying to false flag as white
nationalists; and, let us not forget, Donald Jodocus Trump blowing up
in a reporter's face claiming that no one is less anti-Semitic than
he is instead of condemning anti-Semitic violence which is all the
reporter asked him to do.
Because
we have to keep a list. We just have to because eventually the sheer
tonnage of things these people say is going to get so overwhelming
that things are going to slip the memory and that is how governments
get away with shit. They pass their slip ups off as one-offs, as
mistakes. Spicer has already twice tried to clarify his statements
and made them worse which is just us getting lucky that Trump doesn't
have as his spokesman someone marginally competent. This is the
latest blatantly anti-Semitic slip the Trump administration has made
and we have to make sure that any time they or their allies try to
pass these things off as unique, meaningless mistakes that we are in
a position to hand them the fucking receipts.
