CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour has issued an apology following outrage from Israel after she compared the Trump administration to the Nazi’s Kristallnacht attack on Jewish people.

She compared Trump to Kristallnacht during a segment on her CNN International show Amanpour, which airs in the US as well as Europe, Asia and the Middle East, on the 82nd anniversary of the deadly event described as a prelude to the Holocaust.

In the segment she said Kristallnacht 'was the Nazis' warning shot across the bow of our human civilization that led to genocide and, in that tower of burning books, it led to an attack on fact, knowledge, history and proof.'

Sorry she said it because she got in trouble for it, not sorry she said it because it was wrong and evil.

BIG difference.

I was shocked when she said that. I am glad she had to fake apologize it must have killed her to do it. I really loathe these people and what they have done to our country.

Media: “We paid off the people that need to be paid off. But we won’t tell our idiot followers who that is.”

I suspect you are right. With these slime bags, it’s always Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, and Nazi, Nazi, Nazi.
If I had a dollar for every time I have been called a Nazi, I could retire, very rich.

A Conservative would have been fired immediately for statements that would be tame compared to her remarks. A Leftist just apologizes and moves on.

Yup. Cue up the PR firm/legal dept generated lameassed, meaningless apology. "I should've chosen my words more carefully". I didn't intend to offened anyone (except Trump supporters, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc)". I'll try to do better going forward", or my personal favorite, THIS ISN'T WHO I AM!! Don't y'all find this routine tiresome? I do.
