Spicer's Hitler Comments Were Turned Into HBO's 'Veep' Credits and It's Brilliant
Whoever made this video deserves an award.

Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer made a horrible blunder on Hitler’s use of chemical weapons in WWII during his daily press conference.
“Hitler didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons,” the press secretary said, trying to say that Bashar al-Assad is worse than Adolf Hitler. He then quickly tried to clarify, but things only got worse.
Naturally, this did not go over well. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Spicer “must be fired.” Spicer went on CNN with Wolf Blitzer to apologize and the internet went nuts.
Never thought I would say this, but Sean Spicer should go back to talking about crowd size at the inauguration. https://t.co/D2JZLuypiw

My husband is deeply ashamed that he went to the same college as Sean Spicer. I'm embarrassed we're from the same country.

But the real gem is this video. If you’re a Veep fan, you'll love this–Julia Louis-Dreyfus did.
This feels like an Emmy winning episode to me.https://t.co/DU4o08Ot2P

If you’re not, you’ll love it anyway. Because doesn’t it feel like we’re living in some twisted blend of House of Cards, Scandal and Veep?
