00:13Spicer faced instant backlash when he told the press corps Hitler did not use chemical weapons during World War II.

00:20Social media exploded as anyone and everyone weighed in,

00:23including Chelsea Clinton, daughter of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

00:27I hope ad press sec takes time to visit the Holocaust Museum.

00:31It's a few blocks away.

00:33Barbra Streisand also blasted Spicer for the comment.

00:36Sean Spicer should be fired for saying Hitler did not use chemical weapons on his own people.

00:41You mean six million Jews don't count?

00:43On Tuesday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host talked about Spicer's incorrect claim and joked,

00:47if you listen very closely, you can almost hear the voice inside his head.

00:51Did I just defend Hitler? Hitler?

00:55Meanwhile, over on TBS's Conan, guest Chelsea Handler held nothing back regarding the press secretary.

01:02He's so stupid.

01:03He can't possibly be that stupid naturally, she said.

01:06She also pointed out what she suspects really happens before Spicer goes out for press conferences.

01:11Trump whispers in his ear and then Sean Spicer runs out.

01:14He's like, I mean, even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons.

01:17It's like, yeah, because he was such a great guy.

01:19Also on Tuesday, Spicer's comments were mashed up with the closing credits of HBO's Veep,

01:25thanks to savvy YouTube user Dan Ketchum.

01:28Julia Louis-Dreyfus tweeted that it felt like an Emmy-winning episode to her.

01:32I appreciate the clarification there. That was not the intent.

01:34For his part, Spicer has apologized multiple times,

01:41first telling CNN he mistakenly used an inappropriate, insensitive reference to the Holocaust

01:46for which there is no comparison.

01:48He continued his apology tour Wednesday during a 30-minute conversation at the Newseum Forum,

01:53which was centered around President Donald Trump's relationship with the press,

01:56and said his Tuesday gaffe was mine to own, mine to apologize for, and mine to ask forgiveness for.

02:03He added that he had let the president down.
