Ahh so the story changes. "Toxic Smoke" isn't a chemical weapon. And all smoke is toxic.

Please don't show me yours. I'm sure it's not a sight I'd be interested in.
Smoke? You're equating, as is Bellamy, the use of smoke as analogous to chemical weapons. Neither of you apparently knows what they are.

I've read Bellamy and sure didn't take out of it, chemical warfare, like you did. As a note, all smoke is "toxic".

I guess the Indians used "chemical weapons", too, since one of their tactics was to light fires to cover their escape when attacked.

I guess tear gas and Mace also meet your definition of "chemical weapons".

I re-read this 5 times and it still made absolutely zero sense.

1) Ineloquently spoken, but factually accurate.
2) Spicer clarified later in the news conference.

In accordance with The Geneva Protocol of 1925, Nazi Germany refrained from the tactical use of chemical and biological weapons in war, possibly due to the personal experiences of Adolf Hitler as a sergeant in the Kaiser's army where he was gassed by British troops in 1918.[33]

Not sure there is a difference between dropping them on people or shoving them in a gas chamber. But in TrumpWorld, whatever President Bannon tells Spicey to say is believed.

You guys get more ridiculous with your anti-Trump arguments each day.

Think through things.
Again, you are mistaken.

Anne Frank Center calls for Spicer to be fired | TheHill

"The Anne Frank Center is calling for White House press secretary Sean Spicer to be fired after his Tuesday comments claiming Adolf Hitler did not use chemical weapons during World War II.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the center's executive director blasted Spicer, saying the White House spokesman "lacks the integrity" to serve in his post.

"On Passover no less, Sean Spicer has engaged in Holocaust denial, the most offensive form of fake news imaginable, by denying Hitler gassed millions of Jews to death,"
