Piers Morgan Slams California Governor and Sussex Royals in Latest Outburst
Outspoken TV personality Piers Morgan, 56, has once again made headlines with his scathing remarks, this time targeting California Governor Gavin Newsom, 54.
Known for his controversial opinions, Morgan did not hold back as he labeled Newsom as the most “woke” political leader in the world.
The former Good Morning Britain presenter didn't stop there, also taking a swipe at Prince Harry, 37, and Meghan Markle, 40, who currently call California home.
Governor Newsom recently introduced a series of new policies, including banning gas-powered leaf blowers and implementing gender-neutral children's sections in stores, which drew sharp criticism from Morgan.
Pointing out the potential financial burden on Californians due to the ban on leaf blowers, Morgan accused Newsom of being hypocritical and sanctimonious in his actions.
In a scathing column, Morgan lambasted Newsom for his perceived self-righteousness, drawing parallels between the governor and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, whom he dubbed as “woke warriors.”
Despite not providing specific examples, Morgan emphasized the trend of public figures preaching one thing while doing another, a sentiment he believes applies to Newsom as well as Harry and Meghan.
The controversy doesn't end there for Morgan, as he recently engaged in a social media spat with former colleague Alex Beresford.
While wishing meteorologist Laura Tobin a happy 40th birthday, Morgan took the opportunity to highlight his disdain for what he termed as “woke snowflakes.”
This public stance against so-called woke individuals has become a recurring theme for Morgan, who has been vocal about his aversion to what he sees as cancel culture.
Addressing criticisms on Twitter, Morgan clarified his interpretation of being “woke” as being aware of social and racial injustices, distancing himself from the negative connotations associated with the term in current discourse.
He expressed his intention to confront what he perceives as destructive societal forces through his upcoming show, positioning himself against what he deems as “society-wrecking wastrels.”
Morgan's departure from Good Morning Britain earlier this year following his comments on Meghan Markle's mental health claims garnered significant attention, culminating in an investigation by Ofcom.
The incident, which saw Morgan walk off the set after a heated exchange with co-star Alex Beresford, marked the end of his tenure on the popular morning show.
As Morgan continues to make waves with his controversial opinions and public spats, his unapologetic demeanor and willingness to challenge prevailing narratives ensure that he remains a prominent figure in the media landscape.
Whether praising or criticizing public figures, Morgan's bold statements continue to spark debate and capture the attention of audiences worldwide.
