CNN’s Amanpour to Comey: Should FBI Have ‘Allowed’ People to Chant ‘Lock Her Up?’
By Bill D'Agostino | April 2, 2019 3:31 PM EDT

In an exciting twist, CNN International anchor Christian Amanpour’s recent interview of James Comey ended up revealing more about Amanpour’s own wacky political beliefs than it did about the former FBI director. At one point, Amanpour left Comey momentarily stunned when she inquired whether the FBI should have “allowed” Trump supporters to chant “lock her up” during the 2016 election.

The pre-recorded segment occupied the first half of CNN’s 1:00 p.m. EDT hour on Monday. The first 20 minutes were largely unremarkable, featuring a discussion of Comey’s thoughts on the Mueller investigation.

Things took a partisan turn when the conversation shifted to the investigation into former State Secretary Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Here, Amanpour engaged in the time-honored media tradition of blaming Comey for Clinton’s defeat in the 2016 election: “Do you ever think that you might be responsible for the election of President Trump?” She added, “Does that keep you up at night?”

I watched that.  She asked about restricting speech against Clinton without any irony - just matter of fact.  And, when Comey didn't give her the answer she wanted she frowned and looked disappointed.  Chilling.

Freedom of speech is not for the little people in her world..

Not surprising, I always believed that after the left took our guns they would would target speech next. Taking away the two greatest weapons of freedom makes it so much easier for the socialists to control the populace.

Amanpour is a leftist/communist.

What else would you expect her to say?
