British commentator Piers Morgan ripped CNN, MSNBC, and Rachel Maddow for not showing former President Trump’s victory speech after he won the Iowa caucuses.
CNN showed a part of Trump’s speech but it was buried under host Jake Tapper’s voice as Tapper intoned, “Here he is now, under my voice, you hear him repeating his anti-immigrant rhetoric …” while Maddow claimed they had would not show the speech because Trump would be saying “untrue” things.
“There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things. That is a fundamental truth of our business and who we are. And so his remarks tonight will not air here live …” Maddow had stated.
“I’m sorry, Rachel Maddow banging on about disinformation and how damaging it would be to MSNBC, didn’t she lead the charge on Russian collusion for two years? Right?” Morgan snapped as he appeared on Fox News’ “One Nation” with host Brian Kilmeade.
“I watched that night after night,” Morgan continued. “I would tune in, not for very long, and hear, ‘Russia collusion, Russia collusion’ on MSNBC, my former bosses at CNN. And It turned out to be complete nonsense, a massive nothing burger.”
“No apology, no acknowledgment,” Kilmeade interjected.
“Nothing,” Morgan agreed. “But now they have the brass neck to say, ‘We can’t possibly show Trump’s victory speech because he might spew disinformation.’ Well, what about your own backyard?”
Kilmeade pointed out that foreign leaders were also targeting Trump, with the former head of Great Britain’s MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove, saying, “For the UK’s national security, is problematic,” and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declaring, “If there is a second time, it won’t be easy either.”
“If you take Trudeau, for example, he banged on about Trump being a fascist, when he is the number one woke fascist in the world. The most woke human being alive,” Morgan commented.
“He destroyed that country,” Kilmeade echoed.
“I saw a poll last week that said more young Canadians would vote Trump than vote Trudeau,” Morgan laughed. “They would if they could.”
