CNN’s Christiane Amanpour wants you to think of the World Health Organization as the firefighters on 9/11 who rushed into those burning towers to save people:

Defunding @WHO in the middle of a pandemic is like pulling the plug on firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11. — Christiane Amanpour (@camanpour) April 15, 2020

Holy crap was that a bad take, but in line with CNN’s continued push of Chinese talking points:

How much did Beijing pay for this tweet? https://t.co/yaGWd4dWu9 — Chris Barron (@ChrisRBarron) April 15, 2020

And her analogy only makes sense if the firefighters were collaborating with Osama Bin Laden:

Why would she even go there?

Firefighters were heroes on 9/11. WHO is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. Just like you. https://t.co/LsPKoZLKRM — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) April 15, 2020

“Worst analogy yet”:

This might be the worst analogy yet I’ve seen defending that corrupt, inept organization in large part responsible for the delayed response to the novel Coronavirus. https://t.co/jt9wUBtFkq — Jason B. Whitman, OD (@JasonBWhitman) April 15, 2020

WHAT AN ABSURDLY STUPID TWEET AND COMPARISON. https://t.co/hWA0Abuclu — ForAmerica (@ForAmerica) April 15, 2020

This is such a dumb tweet. You’re a moron. https://t.co/g6vgF5ZEsq — Meech 🇺🇸🇦🇱 (@michi83) April 15, 2020
