CNN’s famed war correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, is being mocked for claiming she’s terrified of traveling to the US — and even needs burner phones and other prep “as if I was going to North Korea.”
The British-born journalist, who has covered war zones extensively throughout her career, revealed that she spoke to CNN security and carried a burner phone when she traveled to the US last month to give an address at Harvard University.
“I must say I was afraid. I’m a foreigner. I don’t have a green card. I’m not an American citizen. I’m fairly prominent, and I literally prepared to go to America as if I was going to North Korea,” Amanpour said Wednesday on her “The Ex Files” podcast, which she hosted with her ex-husband, James Rubin — a former State Department official.
“I took a burner phone, Jamie. Imagine that, James.”
The anchor, 67, noted she spoke with the lefty network’s security team before setting off to the US after hearing stories of foreigners being stopped for “hours and hours” in the wake of President Trump being elected.
“I even talked to the CNN security person because of this,” she said, saying that she’s heard even “British citizens are being stopped at the border and questioned for hours and hours and hours.”
Amanpour — a renowned foreign correspondent who covered the Iraq, Persian Gulf and Bosnian wars — later acknowledged that her trip went off without a hitch.
“So, huge sigh of relief I breathed, but wow, can you imagine if I’m afraid, what do others think?” she said.

I imagine if you come in carrying three burner phones, someone is going to ask why.
Travel light, Christine.
Oh yeah, the woman who graduated from the University of Rhode Island, worked in Atlanta for CNN, and was married to New Yorker and Clinton puppet-master James Rubin. Terrified of Americans, I’m sure.
She has reason to be butthurt.
“Christiane Amanpour, international correspondent and sophisticated journalist.” Alex Christoforou, mocking Amanpour.
Paranoia will destroy ya, Chrissy. You can blame the ridiculous behavior of the media for it. That’d be the face you see in the mirror.
Probably cannot tolerate a long flight without cigarettes.
War slut should go to Ukraine, they are her type.
The eventual reaction to that is going to be a b*tch.
Gee maybe now she knows how Jews feel when they travel the world and get spit on for being Jewish..maybe now she knows what its like to be a Jew in America, being set on fire by her ilk
Heck, even Canada is off limits for me. Last time I went there on vacation I was ticketed by a corrupt cop scamming tourists north of Banff.
She should be mocked for being a dolt.
Something tells me she’d enjoy her time in a women’s prison.
Just a hunch.
Christine, Christine, if you come in through a port of entry there is no need to worry. Were you planning on coming to the USA via the Rio Grande river entry? If so, that would explain your trauma and preparation.
Don’t come. We’ll all be much happier.
That pig was on a flight I was on out of Zurich. Standing up telling people to switch seats. Making a spectacle of herself. She is possibly the ugliest looking “woman” I have ever seen.
i agree
its not worth the hassle
she should stay away
Need hip boots for this one.
Hey, that’s easy. Go to North Korea instead. No problem.
Maybe shes thinking about how her past terrorist sympathies may come back to haunt her….
David Bowie did a vid about that very paranoia leading to delusions, coincidentally named:
At least she doesn't have Trent Reznor chasing her around.
There's your first problem. Please have your paperwork in order.
