Twitter users comes for US Press Secretary Sean Spicer after he compared Adolf Hitler with Syrian President on Tuesday. Spicer made a series of political blunders when he called concentration camps "Holocaust Centres" and claimed Hitler was not as bad as Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Spicer who made the statements at a press briefing sparked global outrage when he claimed that the Nazi führer never used chemical weapons against civilians, unlike Assad. And this statement did not go down well with internet users who trolled him on Twitter.

"You look – we didn't use chemical weapons in World War II. You know, you had a – you know, someone as despicable as Hitler, who didn't even sink to ... using chemical weapons," Spicer told reporters. 

"So you have to – if you're Russia, is this a country that you, and a regime that you want to align yourself with?" SPicer said in refernce to Russia being allies with Syria and supporting them.

He however soon apologized for the gaffe after a reporter pointed out his error. Spicer tried to defend his statement but made another blunder in the process when he said;:

 "I mean, there was clearly – I understand, I mean – thank you – I appreciate that – there was – not in the," he stammered

Hitler had "brought them into the Holocaust centers," Spicer acknowledged. "And I understand that. But I'm saying in the way that Assad used them, where he went into towns, dropped them down to innocent, into the middle of towns, it was brought – and so, the use of it, I appreciate the clarification. That was not the intent."

Twitter users has since trolled him some mocking his comments, while some compared his mistake with the PR mistakes recently made by United Airlines and Pepsi. 

 

Some politicians also weighed in and accused Spicer of insensitivity especially at a time when Jews all over the world were marking the Passover.

"Sean Spicer just referred to concentration camps as Holocaust centers. Y'know, like shopping malls, but for genocide," one Twitter user wrote.

Hitler primarily used Zyklon B, a powerful cyanide gas, to exterminate Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, priests, political dissidents and other enemies of the state.
