CNN’s Amanpour Compares Coming to the U.S. to North Korea: ‘I Took a Burner Phone, Imagine That!’

‘I’m a foreigner’

EXCERPT:

AMANPOUR: “And I have to tell you, when I went to Harvard to give this speech, and it was just a few days ago, last week, I must say I was afraid. 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, Jamie -- 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. And I could text with my assistant. I had your number. I had our son's number. I had our lawyer's number -- you know, the CNN lawyer. And I was really afraid.”
