Liberal CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour suffered an epic meltdown on Thursday night as it became clear that Britain was asserting its national sovereignty and voting to leave the European Union. The sneering Amanpour repeatedly derided it as an example of “xenophobia” and “white identity” politics.
Early in the evening, with the result still in doubt, Amanpour told Anderson Cooper: “A lot of the Leave movements are led by the hard-right, very, very xenophobic, anti-immigrant, very populist, nationalist, white identity politics.” Later, as reality set in, the journalist referenced the current issue of The Economist and raged, “This marks a victory for the kind of economic nationalism, to quote this article here, for the kind of xenophobia, that will imperil the liberal world order that has guaranteed western prosperity and stability since World War two."

Tom Shales, of all people, had it right when he called her a globetrotting fancy-pants who couldn’t connect with ordinary people.
These diversity and open border nazis’s just don’t get it.
Your frustration is delicious, Christiane. Give us more.
What mixture is this leftist, big-nosed commentator?
Yes and YOUR countrymen voted for it, not backwards, stupid Americans. I’m sure that fact made your head explode.
In a Muslim country, this big mouth would be sitting in her house waiting for a man in the family to take her to the market. But she knocks a Western nation that gives freedom to even ignorant Muslim women.CNN should be ashamed.
An Iranian with a Jewish husband. Talk about conflicted!
Britain had better damn well become concerned about it’s ‘white identity ‘ Britain IS white ,always has been white and is rapidly becoming non-white . Today , they hit the brakes .
All the BBC newsreaders were freaking out too. It was delicious to watch.
I hope election night is the same!
Liberals are in complete shock right now, because they realize that the very same strategy leftists used against Brexit supporters, calling them big scary words like “xenophobic”, is the same one they have employed against Donald Trump for the past year.
It will fail here as well, and deep down they know it already.
Amazing how the Left never considers the majority "the people." Only those that agree with them are "people."
Can’t these people emigrate to Zimbabwe or somewhere where their opinions are valid.
>>> ..... that will imperil the liberal world order that has guaranteed western prosperity and stability since World War two.
Liberal World Order that guaranteed our prosperity and stability since WWII?
What is she talking about, what liberal world order?
This marks a victory over the looters who, for many decades, have led the hard-working, freedom-loving citizens of western nations down the road of restrained prosperity while the chains of parasitic leftists wrapped tighter around their ankles until those citizens could no longer carry the burden.
It’s easy to see anti-immigration as xenophobia when you have guaranteed good paying jobs for life.
If only immigrants were journalists and politicians - taking jobs and driving down wages in those areas.
Somebody should explain to Christiane gently that what the Brexit people need from their fellow citizens is respect, inclusion, empathy, understanding and love.
Wow, not one black citizen of the UK voted to leave?
