Piers Morgan calls out fellow liberals who've 'become utterly, pathetically illiberal' and have embraced a 'version of fascism'

The Blaze

You might remember a number of years ago when conservative commentator Ben Shapiro challenged then-CNN host Piers Morgan on gun control — which appeared to get the older Brit hot under the collar.

"How dare you?" Morgan intoned as Shapiro accused him of "standing on the graves" of Sandy Hook Elementary mass killing victims.

Well, it appears time has healed things up because Morgan actually appeared on Shapiro's Sunday sit-down interview over the weekend — and in one stunning segment Morgan had a number of unflattering things to say about his fellow liberals.

'Liberals have become unbearable'

"Populism is rising because liberals have become unbearable — and I speak as a liberal, OK?" Morgan said, adding that "liberals have become utterly, pathetically illiberal, and it's a massive problem. What's the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don't allow anyone else to have a different view?"

He continued: "You know, this snowflake culture that we now operate in — the victimhood culture, the 'everyone ... has to think a certain way, behave a certain way' ... it's all completely skewed to an environment where everyone's offended by everything, and no one's allowed to say a joke."

Morgan then referred to the flap over comedian Kevin Hart backing out of hosting the Academy Awards over years-old comments some considered homophobic — and then Morgan showed how slippery the slope can get.

"So hosts have gone, and soon every award winner will go because everyone's a human, and they're all flawed, so no one can win awards anymore because there will be no platform before they even get on the podium," Morgan said. "So then: no hosts, no stars. Then no one can make any movies because we're all flawed, so no actors ... So suddenly, where are we?"
