He’ll never forget ... whatever it was.
Former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer commemorated D-Day on Twitter Wednesday, drawing reminders that Dec. 7 is in fact Pearl Harbor Day.
“Today is DDay,” the fact-challenged politico tweeted and later deleted. “It only lives in infamy if we remember and share the story of sacrifice with the next generation.”
Many screenshots of the brain fart were posted online.
More than 4,400 Allied soldiers were killed on D-Day when 150,000 stormed the beaches of Normandy to turn the tide of the war in Europe on June 6, 1944.
Pearl Harbor Day marks the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when Japanese pilots attacked a U.S. Navy base in Hawaii, killing nearly 2,400 sailors and drawing America into World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the day “a date which will live in infamy.”
Spicer — a Naval War College grad — has served in the Navy Reserves since 1999.
After Reagan Legacy Foundation President Michael Reagan corrected Spicer, the 51-year-old conservative tweeted “Sorry. Apologies.”
Spicer, whose post-White House resume includes a 2019 appearance on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” and a hosting gig on the right-wing quasi-news outlet Newsmax, became known for pushing bad information while working for the Trump administration.
In his first White House address to the press, Spicer falsely stated Trump’s inauguration saw “the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.”
Aerial photos and objective estimates made it clear that was not the case. Spicer was out of the job just six months later.
