During his Sirius XM radio show on Wednesday, Stern criticized the White House press secretary's recent suggestion that Adolf Hitler didn't use chemical weapons on his own people, saying Spicer speaks "fluent moron" and is "embarrassing" the president.

Later, Cramer told The Associated Press he thinks Spicer meant to say "Hitler didn't use chemical weapons in warfare ... which is technically true". "... I hope each person can understand that part of existing is understanding that when you do something wrong, if own up to it, you do it". "It was a mistake to do that", Spicer said in an interview on CNN.

Two days after White House press secretary Sean Spicer was accused of making a misleading statement about Hitler's use of chemical weapons, the Anti-Defamation League has offered to help educate him on the Holocaust.

Cramer initially said "I think he apologized and that's the end of it".

Also on Wednesday, the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum said that Spicer's comments "strengthen the hands of those whose goal is to distort history".

Asked to clarify those remarks a few minutes later by another reporter, Spicer dug himself deeper.

I escaped the Holocaust by a whisker, so these things keep me up at night.

Spicer was defending President Donald Trump's decision to send a missile strike on Syria, saying Assad was the worst leader they had seen. "I was trying to draw a distinction of the tactic of using airplanes to drop chemical weapons on population centers".

He was accused of being insensitive to Jews and Holocaust survivors, in a week when many will celebrate the festival of Passover.

Outrage over Spicer's gaffe was widespread including from lawmakers but the executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition says he believed Spicer had "genuinely and sincerely apologized" and said his organization accepts that, and is ready to move on.

He said his original comments were "inexcusable and reprehensible".

'Spicer managed to make Assad look good.

There is continuing outrage over the White House press secretary's Holocaust remarks. "I realized that I had made a mistake and I didn't want to be a distraction to the President's agenda".
