A few hours later, a contrite Spicer appeared on United States television to apologise for the comments, which coincided with the Jewish holiday of Passover.
"We didn't even use chemical weapons in World War II", Spicer said during Tuesday's press briefing.
"He's got to leave", said Steven Goldstein, speaking on CNN's "New Day". Cramer, who advised President Donald Trump on energy issues during the transition and the campaign, has said Trump has asked him to run for the seat. He called Hitler "despicable" but wrongly alleged that the Nazi leader did not use "the gas on his own people the same way Assad used them".
Spicer apologized on Tuesday for making an "inappropriate and insensitive" comparison.
"I think what he was saying that Hitler didn't take chemical weapons out in a battle-like form and do what Assad did with these children". "It was a mistake to do that".
"I think anytime we try to make a very quick connection to Adolf Hitler, we are treading some risky ground", she said. "You know, he was just doing it against the Jews, right, so I was kind of right".

The others did as they were told, but Dao refused and was yanked out of his seat and dragged off the plane by airport security. According to the Los Angeles Times , Dao wasn't the only customer threatened with forcible action on a United flight.
"I don't believe Sean meant anything by it", Christie said.
"I screwed up", Spicer said during a forum at the Newseum in Washington. At press time, a contrite Harrigan was appearing on multiple morning talk shows to apologize for suggesting that if Syrian president Bashar al-Assad had a nuclear weapon, he might be the first to ever use one.
- Adolf Hitler actually did use chemical weapons on his own people. Mr. Trump is "not getting a monolithic group of advice", Spicer added, and said Bannon brings an understanding of the president's policies and what he campaigned on.
On Monday, the White House clarified remarks by Mr Spicer that the use of barrel bombs by the Assad regime might lead to further military action by the US.
Moments after his initial comments, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum tweeted a video showing footage of US troops liberating the concentration camp in Buchenwald, Germany, in April 1945, which documented the atrocities there.
