CNN's Christiane Amanpour afraid to travel to America as a foreigner, says it's like going to North Korea
Fox News ^ | June 5, 2025 | Lindsay Kornick

British-born CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour revealed on her podcast "The Ex Files" on Wednesday that she recently prepared to travel to the U.S. as if she were traveling to North Korea.

Speaking with her ex-husband Jamie Rubin, a former State Department official, Amanpour recalled a speech she gave at Harvard Kennedy School last month. Although she was a prominent media figure, she expressed fear that she would be stopped by border security.

"I must say I was afraid," Amanpour said. "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. I took a burner phone. Imagine that. I didn’t take a single…not my mobile phone, not my iPad, nothing, and I had nothing on the burner phone except a few numbers."

She added that she spoke to CNN security before her visit after hearing several anecdotes about her fellow British citizens being either detained for hours or turned around at the border. However, she found that she was welcomed into the country and that the immigration officer she met "could not have been nicer."

Then don’t travel here. We don’t need any more from the Communist News Network.

Maybe she’d be happier being a citizen of Iran and moving back there permanently

Well, Christiane is more than welcome to leave America if she hates it so bad.

Well, she is an active ally of Islamic terrorists.

I don’t doubt she has broken USA law to help them.

Wasn’t afraid to go to college in Rhode Island, take a job in Atlanta, or to marry a New York Jew.

“she expressed fear that she would be stopped by border security.”

So it’s her feelings that make the US worse than North Korea.

By the way, Rosie O’Donnell maintains dual citizenship. She is still a US citizen (sadly for all of us) and uses the leaving the country publicity for her selfish benefit.

Most of the world would like to migrate to that version of N.Korea, if they had a chance.

Where was Amanpour when we needed her during the invasion of America by some 20 million foreigners in the Biden 4 years? We could have used her to warn all of them.

A foreigner who hates america is upset because she wants to come and crap on America and she doesn’t feel comfortable doing so.

She won’t go crap on China or Iran or pretty much any other country though. Just America she wants to crap on. Wow....what courage she has.
