White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had a particularly Sean Spicer-y press conference on Biography ArchivesTuesday afternoon, mistakenly telling reporters that Hitler never used chemical weapons.
He's since clarified — twice — but as the controversial flub unfolded, MSNBC was ready with a spot-on retort in the form of a succinct breaking news chyron.

Uh, not so much, MSNBC's chyron basically said.

Spicer, given a chance to clarify his statements, followed up with this:
When you come to sarin gas, there was no, [Hitler] was not using the gas on his own people the same way Assad is doing. I mean there was clearly -- I understand your point, thank you, I appreciate that -- there was not, in the ... he brought them into the holocaust centers, 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 -- so, the use of it. I appreciate the clarification there it was not the intent.
And later, this statement:

"Also, they weren't called 'Holocaust centers'" was probably too many words to squeeze into MSNBC's graphic.
