Piers Morgan trolled Kamala Harris over Donald Trump’s shooting and this American political commentator’s comeback was magnificently done

Poke Staff. Updated July 25th, 2024

Former TV presenter turned YouTuber Piers Morgan has gone viral with this exchange with American political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, just not for anything Morgan had to say.

It was the Talk TV presenter asking why Kamala Harris hadn’t done more to seek to unify the nation after the battle of Donald Trump’s ear and it’s fair to say his guest, a regular contributor to MSNBC over in the US, wasn’t having any of it.

And it’s a minute and a bit very well spent.

So, just to clarify in case Morgan is still in any doubt, no, @briantylercohen is not comparing Trump to Hitler.

And here is that exchange in (almost) full, courtesy of @briantylercohen.

PM: ‘Why didn’t Kamala Harris call for unity after Trump’s shooting?’

BTC: ‘I find it so bizarre that the onus is always on the Democrats to create unity. Where was everybody calling for unity when Trump was president?

‘Remember, it was not the Democrats who laughed at Paul Pelosi being bludgeoned with a hammer. Who called for military tribunals for Liz Cheney. Who laughed off a kidnapping plot against Gov. Whitmer. Who called for General Milley to be executed. Who posted a baseball bat photo next to Alvin Bragg.

‘That was DONALD TRUMP.

‘It’s not the Democrats who’ve validated political violence as a tool in this country, and it shouldn’t be on the Democrats to exclusively be the adults in the room.’

And here are just a few of the many responses it prompted.

Here’s what Morgan said later.

To conclude …
