Lebanese Journalist Makes Piers Morgan Lose His Shit

Ah, yes. We love when Lebanese people stick it to the (white) man. And a journalist, no less.

Piers Morgan must have a degradation kink at this point because he just loves getting into fights he can’t win. In an interview featuring Lebanese American journalist Rania Khalek (and another loser journalist), Morgan visibly lost his shit.

Just when we thought he (and other white journalists) learned his lesson after getting dragged by Bassem Youssef, not once but TWICE. Like a broken record, he asks Khalek if she condemns Hamas – and she had the best clap back.

She firstly responds to journalist Emily Shrader, who was criticizing Khalek for her stance, and says that she wasn’t surprised by anything Shrader said because “she herself is a settler, so of course she feels entitled to pontificate about our region that I actually am indigenous to.”

We see Khalek maintaining her composure during the interview while Morgan, very pathetically, forgets all fundamental ethical principles in journalism, calls her arguments “bullshit”, and interrupts her multiple times.

She then proceeds to say: “You guys can just sit here and bully me, but you’re just a bunch of genocide apologists.”

Not only do we enjoy watching Piers Morgan make an absolute fool of himself, but it’s even better when it’s a Lebanese journalist sticking it to him.
