[American Thinker] A stunning moment took place yesterday on CNN, as that network's "chief international anchor" interviewed former FBI chief James Comey and suggested that federal law enforcement should have "shut down" chants of "lock her up" at Trump rallies. Amanpour, who also is employed by PBS as host of Amanpour & Company (replacing Charlie Rose after his sexual bullying of younger female staffers was exposed), appeared to be completely serious in suggesting that political speech that she disagrees with ought to be forcibly repressed by federal law enforcement.
For all his flaws, James Comey recognized the constitutional stupidity on display by someone who makes her living based on the First Amendment. The exchange is worth watching for the 90 seconds of the video below. A transcript follows, if you are in a hurry, though I urge you to watch and make your own determination on her sincerity. |
