Christiane Amanpour on Refusing to Wear Headscarf for Iran’s President | The Daily Show

“In that moment, I was not, as a journalist or as a woman, going to put a headscarf on and somehow bind myself…” CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour discusses the recent protests in Iran following the death of a 22-year-old woman who was detained by the morality police for showing her hair, the qualms Iranian women have with the government, and how the people of Iran want a democracy. #DailyShow #Comedy

You are a gem Trevor. You will be immensely missed. Can't wait to come for your stand up in the EU at some point. ❤

[@bethd8007]

I always enjoy when these two talk to each other. Two of the most intelligent people with the strength and honestly to fairly reporting world events.

[@lilyasknegt]

Thank u trevor for letting the situation in iran and amanpour find space in your programme. Goes straight to my heart!

[@mirnabecevic1797]

Being from Bosnia and Herzegovina this woman is my personal hero, one of the few speaking truth and not turning her back on us like many others. I don't have many wishes but meeting Christiane would be a childhood wish come true.

[@ayandasigxashe7198]

C. A you are a legend! We appreciate your support for women & democracy ❤

[@Deb_BG]

I'm so glad that someone on a large platform is talking about the Iran protests!

[@fark69]

The protests (and counter protests) were on every major news outlet and platform

[@teresalegler2777]

Christiane is an excellent interviewer and her response was spot in. Her last sentence was priceless!

[@gracecoachcorner5898]

[@alisamii]

No!! She’s racist against Armenians.

[@sonder1109]

Can I just say thank you Trevor for such great questions! As a Muslim, thank you for adding that this is against a dictatorship regime not against Islam. It's about women's choice and thank you Christiane for standing up for yourself and Iranian women!

[@fark69]

You can't seriously be a Muslim if you believe Muslims can choose to disobey the commandments of Allah and this is okay. The Messenger didn't tolerate Muslims disobeying the commandments of Allah and he is an example for us to follow...

I need to look her up. 👏🏾👏🏾 loved this interview ❤

[@luisbernard8468]

You're the best Trevor! Christiane is the best too! It's funny because I'm an English teacher and one of my classes it's a text about Christiane Amanpour kinda like a short text about her life/acheivments. Questions are about the text which is anormal reading comprehension but hte 2nd pasrt I changed and ask abouot personal opinions bout her and her profession. Modesty aside I found that amazing and it's always fantastic to see my student's reactions and opinions. I whish I can meet you both!

[@homiehomerson2705]

I'm 54 and I've been watching this fine lady tell the raw truth since I was a very young man. Not many if any are better.
