CNN’s Amanpour Apologizes for Comparing Trump Admin. To Nazi Kristallnacht: ‘I Regret Any Pain’ I Caused

“A comment on my program at the end of last week. I observed the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, as I often do,” Amanpour declared at the end of her show. “It is the event that began the horrors of the Holocaust.”

“I also noted President Trump’s attacks on history, facts, knowledge, and truth. I shouldn’t have juxtaposed the two thoughts,” she continued, adding, “Hitler and his evil stand alone, of course, in history.”

“I regret any pain my statement may have caused,” Amanpour concluded. “My point was to say how democracy can potentially slip away and how we must always zealously guard our democratic values.”
