The king of radio wants Sean Spicer out of the White House.
Howard Stern mocked the White House press secretary as a “laughingstock” after his “crazy” comparison between Adolf Hitler and Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
“Spicer managed to make Assad look good. He actually got him to look not so bad for using chemical weapons on his own people because the discussion became, Sean Spicer, how could you not know that Hitler marched his own people — Jews, gypsies, homosexuals … to concentration camps and turned on chemical gas. It was somewhat remarkable that a guy this high up in the administration wouldn’t know this,” the shock jock said Wednesday on his SiriusXM radio show.
“The guy’s just not informed, and it’s kind of embarrassing — it’s just embarrassing. But it’s entertaining as hell.
Sean Spicer apologizes for 'inexcusable' Hitler comment
“If you’re looking for ratings and you’re looking for comedy, there’s nothing better than this. But if I’m President Trump, I’m like, well Jesus Christ, we’re a laughingstock.”

Stern, a longtime friend of Trump’s, said the President’s “got to fire this guy” and asked why there were no better options for press secretary before saying Spicer speaks “fluent moron.”
Spicer has since apologized for his “ inexcusable” comment made Tuesday, in which he said "someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons.”
"On both a personal and professional level, that will go down as not a very good day in my history," Spicer said during a question-and-answer session on a panel at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
