Flashback: That Time MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Said Hitler Didn’t Use Chemical Weapons

While the whole country had a hissy fit over the silly comments of Sean Spicer saying Hitler didn’t use chemical weapons, almost no one stopped to remind them Chris Matthews had done the same exact thing.

Of course, anyone with more than one brain cell knows Spicer meant chemical weapons weren’t used on the battlefield. Matthews meant the same. The difference is that everyone accepted what Matthews meant, while ignoring what Spicer meant in order to demonize him.

Isn’t tribalism great?

Chris Matthews: “If you basically put down a red line and say don’t use chemical weapons, and it’s been enforced in the Western community, around the world–international community for decades. Don’t use chemical weapons. We didn’t use them in World War II, Hitler didn’t use them, we don’t use chemical weapons, that’s no deal.”
