Following backlash, CNN’s chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour walked back on comments she made drawing parallels between President Donald Trump’s presidency and the Kristallnacht pogroms against German Jews 82 years ago.
At the end of her show “Amanpour” on Monday night, the host said she “regrets any pain” caused by her invoking the horrific historical event in an attempt to criticize Trump, admitting she should not have “juxtaposed the two thoughts.”
