Being Vilified! Piers Confronts Trans Advocate for Receiving Social Media Storm of Abuse

Last night, Piers Morgan spoke to transgender advocate Janet Mock and some of the words he used and chevrons the show used ended up earning Morgan quite the social media blow back, and Morgan took some serious umbrage at all the people tweeting at him about the segment. He brought on Mock tonight to confront her about the “hostile tweets” she and others sent his way.
Morgan repeatedly bemoaned how much he’s been attacked, saying he “spent an infuriating 24 hours,” he was “viciously abused,” cried “I’m being vilified!”, and asked why someone like him, who openly supports LGBT rights and equality, has gotten such “a load of abuse.”
Mock told Morgan she was too “scared” to rebut his references to her as having previously been a man, which she argued isn't fair because gender is more about how a person identifies themselves as opposed to the genitalia they possess. Morgan argued there is nothing wrong with saying she was born a boy and continued to complain, “you threw me to the wolves a little bit.”

Piers, Marc Lamont Hill, Ben Ferguson Battle over Seinfeld: Why Must Comedy Be PC-Pleasing?

Piers Morgan found himself Wednesday night in complete agreement with Jerry Seinfeld‘s recent remarks that rather than being fixated on racial or gender diversity in comedy, his number one concern is finding people who are funny. Morgan and conservative guest Ben Ferguson battled Marc Lamont Hill and The Blaze’s Amy Holmes over the issue of whether forced diversity is necessarily “anti-comedy,” as Seinfeld put it.
Hill argued that Seinfeld’s “relying on a corrupted assumption,” that affirmative action and making a field more diverse means bringing in untalented people of different races when, in fact, it’s all about giving talented minorities a chance to be in the big leagues and impress people with their talents. Morgan insisted that it’s still a bad precedent for what’s supposed to be a free-wheeling, creative field.
“If you sit down with your American pie chart of cultural diversity in the country and divide up your humor quota for the show in a very specific, scientific PC-pleasing way, I got his point that in the end, you’re drifting away from what humor should be, which is spontaneous funny stuff.”
Holmes pointed out that humor comes from different cultural perspectives, ones that Seinfeld might not be personally aware of, while Ferguson rolled his eyes and said “not everything has to come down to race.” Morgan added that there shouldn't be this “compelling pressure of ‘you must be diverse in this manner.’”
