British MEP Daniel Hannan had been a consistent supporter of Brexit, but CNN’S Christiane Amanpour attempted to convince him otherwise and also tried to get him to admit support of Brexit is racist, hateful, xenophobic and lots of other things. Amanpour got increasingly frustrated by Hannan’s refusal to take the bait:

I think Amanpour's producer told her she was interviewing Nigel Farage & she didn't know the difference. https://t.co/OY271NfxCB

@joelpollak @YouTube liberal media at its best. Pound, pound to create your narrative. Fortunately Hannan held his ground.

@charlescwcooke @YouTube Amanpour and CNN should be embarrassed by this, but I doubt they are capable of the emotion.

This hurts to watch. And Amanpour needs to not wave her hands & her papers all up in his face. #smack?? https://t.co/8S2y8Mm4DM

Hannan is a saint for not walking off set. @camanpour is way too emotionally invested to cover this well. https://t.co/csZrze5Irb

If @DanielJHannan isn't the most thrilling & clearest debater around, he does not have much competition. Whoa, mama. https://t.co/88VzVKtk1J

Interview or inquisition?

My God @camanpour is a disgrace to her profession. https://t.co/huLxfTBUUD

Not really a surprise. The media's coverage of #Brexit has been beyond embarrassing. https://t.co/bvFTBA5ZJ2
