Never before in the history of U.S. news networks did a journalist distort the Holocaust for political purposes as Amanpour just did on on CNN & PBS.

No, @camanpour, the Nazi genocide was not “an attack on fact, knowledge, history & truth.“

They murdered 6 million Jews. Say it.
“Nazis’ warning shot across the bow of our human civilization“
“genocide against a whole identity“
“an attack on fact, knowledge, history and truth“

Fact: Kristallnacht was Nazi murder of Jews, burning of synagogues. Holocaust was Nazi genocide of Jews.

Why did she erase Jews?
Amanpour took pains to erase the word Jews while speaking three times about Nazi attacks and genocide.

At best, she exploited and trivialized the Holocaust to make her analogy.

At worst, as Tim Kaine put it in 2017, Christiane Amanpour engaged in a form of Holocaust denial.
It's right to call out Trump's untruthful statements, personal insults & praise of dictators like Kim Jong-Un, Putin & Rouhani.

But it's wrong to do so by trivializing the Holocaust, or as @timkaine put it, to engage in a form of Holocaust denial by scrubbing reference to Jews.
