CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Apologizes For Comparing Trump to Nazis, After Israel Demands She Do So
MenRec ^ | 11/19/20 | Staff

Posted on 11/19/2020 6:00:24 AM PST by rustyweiss74

CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour apologized on air after comparing President Trump’s four years in office to the Nazis’ Kristallnacht purge of the Jewish people in 1938.

She made the ill-advised comparison last week during a segment on her CNN International show commemorating the 82nd anniversary of the pogrom.

“This week 82 years ago, Kristallnacht happened,” Amanpour opened the segment. “It was the Nazis’ warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide against a whole identity.”

...

“After four years of a modern-day assault on those same values by Donald Trump, the Biden/Harris team pledges a return to norms, including the truth.”

...

Amichai Stein, a correspondent for the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, reported that the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) had demanded an apology from Amanpour.

“The comparison between Kristallnacht and Trump’s actions are unacceptable and an apology is required,” the MFA was quoted as saying.

Christiane Amanpour
It was the Nazi's warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide against a whole identity and in that tower of burning books, it led to an attack of fact, knowledge, history, and truth. After four years of a modern-day assault on those same values by Donald Trump, the Biden-Harris team pledges a return to norms, including the truth.

Let out experts show you how Ms Amanpour is actually correct.

As a ‘news person’, she’s next to worthless and a real disgrace. Everything that comes out of her mouth is totally PREDICTABLE and lame.

It reminds me of the quote: ‘Liberals demand freedom of speech to express their freedom of thought, which they never use.’

Who the h&ll watches that self important bimbo?

What’s the big deal. No one’s watching CNN anyway...at least, no one who still has a single neuron still firing in their brain.

If she were a Pubbie saying the same thing about Ears, for example, she’d be fired.

Just loving the double standard.

That wasn’t an apology, that was a clear demonstration of taqqiya.

I despise the leftist media. And I have for 30 years. They are evil and offer nothing but worthless opinion masquerading as news that I don't want to hear nor see. My time is too valuable.

“I observed the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, as I often do,” she began. “It is the event that began the horrors of the Holocaust. I also noted President Trump’s attacks on history, facts, knowledge and truth.”

“I should not have juxtaposed the two thoughts. Hitler and his evils stand alone, of course, in history,” Amanpour lamented. “I regret any pain my statement may have caused.”

So she regrets she caused pain and shouldn't have called Trump and all of his supporters Nazis during her commemoration of the anniversary of Kristallnacht. There are 364 other days to make that comparison and even lots of other times during that one day.

And, by the way, Hitler came in a distant third behind Mao and Stalin in 20th century mass murderers. But we can't mention the blood of the innocents that colored their red flags, can we?

Thanking God that I’ve not heard her droll, boyish “Mrs. Howell the III” voice in over ten years now. Ugh!

She’d gladly bed down with an SS man for a bar of chocolate...
Question: if you were a Jew in 1936, who would you rather have running your ghetto?
Amanpour the proto-”palestinian,” or Trump?

P.S. what’s the difference between a “liberal” Jew and Donald Trump?

Trump has Jewish grandchildren.
