Christiane Amanpour Rants Against Trump 'Regime' After Iran Deal Decision
2018-05-09
[Townhall] CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who was just announced as Charlie Rose's replacement on PBS after he was fired over sexual assault allegations, was quick to denounce the Trump administration for its decision to withdraw from the Iranian nuclear deal Tuesday.

"This is the regime change crew," she said on CNN. "They're back in town. They're ascendant."

Some of the newest members of Trump's national security team include National Security Advisor John Bolton, who has often been criticized as too hawkish, and new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Speaking from the White House, Trump announced the U.S. would be leaving the "horrible, one-sided deal."

"It didn't bring calm," he said. "It didn't bring peace, and it never will."

The "decaying" agreement leaves no path for preventing an Iranian nuclear bomb. It is, he said, "defective at its core."

Amanpour had other ideas.

#13  I remember her in Kosovo - lying about what we were doing and making our jobs harder.

#12  Misleading headline, here and in the original.

Amanpour was noting that the 'crew' that Trump has put in place wants regime change in Iran.

#8  This is what Trump does - he consistently and deliberately pisses off all the right people.

#6  Her father, Mahmoud Amanpour, is a Muslim

By Muslim law that makes her a Muslim, no matter her personal beliefs. Given that she grew up in Iran, she must know it.

#5  "Deal" not "Treaty".

Precisely. What one phone and pen can create, another can as easily destroy.

#4  "Deal" not "Treaty". Something about 2/3rds vote.

#2  I remember Amanpour reporting from Kosovo: something about Serbs exterminating a Kosovar village. She reports while a few hundred villagers standing in the background nodding their heads "Yes, yes, Serbs killed everyone in our village!". To be fair, they probably didn't understand what she was saying in English.
