WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — White House press secretary Sean Spicer apologized Tuesday for “insensitive” remarks during a press briefing in which he asserted that Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons on his own people.

“Frankly, I mistakenly used an inappropriate and insensitive comment about the Holocaust and there is no comparison,” Spicer told CNN. “For that I apologize. It was a mistake to do that.”
