Out-of-Control Amanpour Badgers Pro-Brexit Official; He Pushes Back
Newsbusters ^ | June 29, 2016 | Matthew Balan

CNN's Christiane Amanpour took her left-leaning, pro-European Union activism to a new level on Tuesday during an interview of pro-Brexit politician Daniel Hannan. Amanpour, who recently blasted the referendum as an example of "xenophobia", tried to implicate the British member of the European Parliament as somehow partially responsible for supposed post-vote "hate crimes." Hannan didn't take her clear bias sitting down, however: "You guys have been shouting 'racist' so long, you're not listening to what we were actually saying...if I was relying on CNN...I would think that this was nativist vote, a protectionist vote. It's the opposite." [video below]

The anchor began her unprofessional interrogation of the Brexit supporter by accusing the guest and his allies of not having a plan after the vote: "The question is being asked, what is the plan? And we're not hearing it from the main Brexit leaders." Hannan answered, in part, by noting that "48 percent of British people voted for no change....And so, we may have to temper what we're doing, and go for a more gradual and more phased repatriation of power, while leaving some of the existing stuff in place."

Amanpour pounced after this response, and contended that anti-E.U. activists were now backtracking in the wake of the referendum: "I'm hearing...a very much softer, gentler version of what you proposed during the campaign — temper some of the stuff — like what? Like immigration? Because you yourself have, sort of, stepped back." This sparked an extended exchange between the politician and the purported journalist:

Such a nasty dirty deceiving slut Amanpour is!

She’s a condescending arrogant bitch with an agenda.I don’t know why he would agree to an interview with such a person as her.

Because unlike most of our pols, the media don't intimidate him because Hannan doesn't run from a fight if one comes up. One did and he took care of business, holding fast to his position.

We need him as Speaker of the House. You can bet there wouldn't be a sit-in, catered or otherwise on his watch.

So now, caring for your country and who comes into it is called xenophobia? Don’t liberals see how foolish that notion is?

The leftists love the name-calling. That’s about all they’ve got.

Ditto. Amanpour is vile, and obsessed with her own voice. She and Hitlery and Katie Couric belong in the same hot tub.

Amanpour needs an orientation vacation in a EU “refugee” center, although I doubt anything would change her world view.

Doubt she would be bothered by refugees.

The ultimate hate crime, is trying to deny the people of an ancient nation, the right to continue as a people; the right to pass on their heritage to their posterity.

These pseudo-intellectual poseurs, pretending to be apostles of tolerance, is, itself, the ultimate absurdity.

Every nation should put its own people first. Allowing bullies with an agenda to destroy the cultural achievements of a thousand years, is simply never going to be acceptable.

They’ve been kissing the fannies of the NWO elites so long that they think their one of them!

Christiane Amanpour is half-Iranian—perhaps this reflects in her positions?
