President Trump’s moves against Harvard University for discrimination have spread horror among the liberal elite, including those on publicly funded television. Christiane Amanpour, host of Amanpour & Co., talked to Harvard professor Steven Levitsky, coauthor of How Democracies Die. (Hint: He means Trump.)

A full 21 minutes of the Friday show was devoted to both host and left-wing guest defending Harvard by attacking Trump as a resurrected Joe McCarthy, rantings that Amanpour infused with self-congratulation, even airing a segment of her own recent self-righteous graduation speech in which she regaled a captive audience at Harvard with similar comparisons.

As caught by NewsBusters’ commencement-speech connoisseur Alex Christy, on Wednesday Amanpour went on an anti-Trump rant under the guise of an address to graduates of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, even quoting Italian dictator Benito Mussolini as well as Mr. “Red Scare.”
