"We didn't use chemical weapons in World War II. We had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons," Spicer said, while speaking about Syrian President Bashar Assad's chemical weapons attack last week.

He was immediately blasted for apparently forgetting about gas chambers that were used at concentration camps to kill millions of Jewish people.

Spicer says that "even Hitler" did not use chemical weapons, apparently forgetting gas chambers.
