Sean Spicer Apologizes For Assad-Hitler Comparison

At the White House press briefing on Tuesday, press secretary Sean Spicer created a controversy by saying Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons in World War II. Spicer later apologized on CNN.

NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik (@davidfolkenflik) talks with Here & Now's Jeremy Hobson about Spicer's comments, as well as the questionable ethics that went into the Louisville Courier-Journal's decision to publish decade-old drug charges related to the man who was dragged off the now-infamous United Airlines flight earlier this week.
