By now, you’ve no doubt heard about Sean Spicer’s epically awkward remarks about Hitler and chemical weapons. After the story had a few hours to fester, Spicer went on Wolf Blitzer’s “Situation Room” to publicly apologize:

Spicer on @CNNSitRoom – "I apologize."

There you have it.

On CNN, @PressSec took and answered repeated hard questions from @wolfblitzer & made an unequivocal apology.

Viewers’ reactions are a bit … mixed:

Is this the first unadulterated unqualified apology from someone inside the administration?
