THIS IS "KCAL 9 NEWS" AT 9.
JEFF: THANKS FOR JOINING US I'M
JEFF VAUGHN.
ELSA: I AM ELSA RAMON.
LEYNA HAS THE NIGHT OFF IT WERE
WHERE THE MOST VISIBLE FACES OF
THE WHITE HOUSE IS FACING
MAJOR CONTROVERSY OF HIS OWN
DOING.
PRESS SECRETARY SEAN SPICER IS
UNDER
SAYS WERE INACCURATE AND
INSENSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT THE
HOLOCAUST.
MORE FROM POLITICAL REPORTER
DAVE BRYAN.
REPORTER: EVEN MORE PAINFULLY
CAME ON ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT HOLIDAYS ON THE JEWISH
CALENDAR.
TALK ABOUT TIMING.
A DAY WHEN WORLD TENSION WAS
HEADING FOR CATASTROPHIC LEVELS
IN NORTH KOREA AND SYRIA U.S.
SECRETARY OF STATE IS HEADED TO
MOSKAL GETTING READY TO DO
VERBAL BATTLE WITH THAT
COUNTRY'S TOP DIPLOMAT AND ON
TOP OF ALL THAT ON ONE OF THE
HOLIEST HOLIDAYS ON THE JEWISH
CALENDAR WHITE HOUSE PRESS
SECRETARY INSISTED EVEN HITLER
DIDN'T DO WHAT SYRIA'S PRESIDENT
HAS DONE.
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
SEAN SPICER WAS ON A ROLL
RAMPING UP THE HEATED RHETORIC
AGAINST SYRIAN PRESIDENT BASHAR
AL-ASSAD GASSING HIS OWN PEOPLE
AND THEN HE SAID THIS.
YOU HAD SOMEONE WHO IS AS
DESPICABLE AS HITLER WHO DIDN'T
EVEN SYNCED TO USING CHEMICAL
WEAPONS.
THERE WERE SHOCKED SILENCE
FOR A MOMENT UNTIL THE SPICER
COMMENT SPARKED OFF A -- WHEN
SPICER TRIED TO REPAIR THE
DAMAGE THINGS GOT EVEN WORSE.
WHEN IT COMES TO SARIN GUESS
HE WAS NOT USING THE GAS ON HIS
PEOPLE THE SAME WAY THAT ASSAD
IS DOING.
I UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
HE'D WROUGHT THEM TO THE
HOLOCAUST CENTER.
HOLOCAUST CENTERS?
KNOW THEY WERE CONCENTRATION
CAMPS.
TUESDAY EVENING SPICER APOLOGIZE
FOR HIS MISTAKES.
I MISTAKENLY USED IN AN
APPROPRIATE INSENSITIVE
REFERENCE TO THE HOLOCAUST WHICH
FRANKLY THERE IS NO COMPARISON
AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE.
IT WAS A MISTAKE TO DO THAT.
AS I SAID I'M NOT IN ANYWAY
STANDING BY IT.
I WAS TRYING TO DRAW A
COMPARISON WHERE THERE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN ONE BEEN ONE.
IT WAS SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS.
IT WAS PAINFUL IN THIS PASSOVER
SEASON AND IT WORRIES ME TO
THINK THAT SEAN SPICER OR
ANYBODY THAT HIGH UP IN THE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD HAVE SUCH A
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE
HISTORICAL CONTEXT.
REPORT OF THE ANNE FRANK CENTER
WENT FURTHER AND FACEBOOK POST.
ON PASSOVER NO LESS SEAN SPICER
IS ENGAGED IN HOLOCAUST DENIAL
THE MOST OFFENSIVE FORM OF FAKE
NEWS IMAGINABLE DENYING HITLER
GASSED MILLIONS OF JEWISH PEOPLE
TO DEATH.
IT'S MOST ABLE GROUP OF PEOPLE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST FIRE HIM AT
ONCE.
THINGS WERE JUST AS TENSE AND
RUSSIA.
SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON
ARRIVED IN MOSCOW HOPING TO
CONVINCE THE KREMLIN TO GO ALONG
WITH THE U.S. PLAN TO TRANSITION
SYRIAN PRESIDENT BASHAR AL-ASSAD
OUT OF OFFICE.
IS CLEAR TO ALL OF US THAT
THE RAIN OF THE ASSAD FAMILY'S
COMING TO AN END.
I THINK IT'S CLEAR WE SEE NO
FURTHER ROLE FOR THE ASSAD
REGIME LONGER-TERM GIVEN THAT
THEY HAVE EFFECTIVELY GIVEN UP
THEIR LEGITIMACY
ATTACKS.
REPORTER: AN INTERVIEW SCHEDULED
TO
TOLD "FOX NEWS" TUESDAY THE U.S.
HAS NO INTENTION OF CARRYING OUT
A MILITARY CAMPAIGN IN SYRIA.
WHEN I SEE PEOPLE USING
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE CHEMICAL
WEAPONS WHICH THEY AGREED NOT TO
USE UNDER ANY OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
REPORTER: ON THE EVE OF THE
CRUCIAL MOSCOW SUMMIT BETWEEN
SECRETARY TILLERSON IN AND A TOP
RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT RUSSIAN
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN.
SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS NOT BUYING
INTO THE AMERICAN PLAN.
SPUYTEN CHARGING THE U.S.
MISSILE ATTACK ON THE SYRIAN
AIRBASE LAST WEEK WAS LIKE
ANOTHER EPISODE IN THE IRAQ WAR.
IS VERY MUCH RESEMBLES THE
SITUATION 2003 AND THE WAR IN
IRAQ.
THE IRAQ CAMPAIGN WAS LAUNCHED
AND FINISHED WITH THE
DESTRUCTION OF THE COUNTRY, THE
GROWTH OF THE TERRORIST THREAT
AND NOTHING LESS THAN THE
EMERGENCE OF ISIS ON THE
INTERNATIONAL STAGE.
IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THE
ASSAD REGIME PLANNED IT
ORCHESTRATED AND EXECUTED.
DEFENSE SECRETARY JAMES MATSON
SAY THERE'S NO DOUBT THE SYRIAN
REGIME WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
ATTACK AND TAMP DOWN ANY NOTION
THAT THE U.S. MILITARY STRIKES
WILL CONTINUE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
ACCUSED PUTIN OF ENGAGING IN A
COVER-UP OF THE SYRIAN CHEMICAL
WEAPONS ATTACK CHARGING THAT THE
RUSSIAN USE DISINFORMATION AND
FALSE NARRATIVES TO CONFUSE AND
OBFUSCATE HIM FOR HALF OF ASSAD.
NOW SECRETARY TILLERSON RECEIVED
THE RUSSIAN FRIENDSHIP AWARD
FROM PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN A
FEW YEARS AGO AND WOULD
TILLERSON WAS RUNNING
EXXONMobil HE HAD A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH PUTIN BUT ALL
THAT APPEARS TO BE A DISTANT
MEMORY AS THE TWO COUNTRIES
TRADE INSULTS AND CHARGES OVER
