CNN’s Christiane Amanpour Apologizes for Comparing Trump Presidency to Nazi Germany
BREITBART ^ | Nov 17 2020 | Joshua Klein

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour has apologized for comparing President Donald Trump’s tenure to Nazi Germany on the recent anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 pogrom that is often regarded as the starting date for the Holocaust.

Amanpour had said on Nov. 12:

This week 82 years ago, Kristallnacht happened. It was the Nazis’ 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 on 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.

Critics (see below) slammed her commentary as inflammatory and insensitive to the victims of the Holocaust.

As Breitbart News’s Deborah Danan noted, the State of Israel formally demanded an apology from Amanpour:

Israel’s consul-general to Atlanta, Anat Sultan-Dadon, on Sunday wrote a letter expressing her “dismay” to Richard Davis, CNN’s executive vice president of News Standards and Practices.

“The use of the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht by Amanpour for the purpose of this comparison is an affront to the memory of the Holocaust, those who perished and those who suffered through these unimaginable atrocities,” she wrote. The consulate said it was “sincerely disappointed” by the way Amanpour chose to express herself and urged the anchorwoman and her employer to publish an apology.

On Monday, Amanpour apologized on the air:

Only a career dumbass such as that poor woman manages to not see that virtually everything done by the left (censorship, book bans, lying, etc) is directly comparable to Nazi Germany.

And so goes the complete dissolving of our formerly respected media.

To boot, I’ve always despised that fake disgusting accent of that ignorant slut.

I think she meant it. And it makes one wonder, about the mindset of someone, who could even conceive of the concept that somehow Trump is Hitler. How can any rational person make that quantum leap in reasoning, just because you oppose the politics of Trump????

I am sure the “apology” has left a bad taste in her mouth. She is so used to bashing Israel that having to apologize to the descendants of survivors must be difficult.

She didn’t apologize to me as a Trump supporter. She showed no contrition. She should be forever removed from all news programs.

Apology NOT accepted.

First, it wasn’t sincere, not in view of her long and sordid history of anti-Jewish, anti-Israel and anti-Trump screeds, and not when she feared for her job. I call BS.

Second, she is only sorry that people criticized her.

People - even good people - have lost their careers for saying much less than she did.

There are cases of people being attacked for reading a banned book.

Thereby acknowledging (whether she knows it or not) that she has no clue as to what “fact, knowledge, history and truth” is or is not. Typical Rat.

Don’t forget sending out their brown shirt goons, thugs and anarchists into the streets, stores, restaurants, etc. to loot, vandalize, riot and assault and bully the public.
