US: Sean Spicer under fire for Holocaust comments

A day after receiving much criticism, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has apologised for comments about the Holocaust.

Spicer had discussed the suspected use of chemical weapons in northern Syria by the government during a briefing, saying that “Hitler didn’t sink to using chemical weapons” in World War II.
