Conservative pundit Piers Morgan has relentlessly railed against “cancel culture,” calling it “complete lunacy.” Morgan has even vowed to “wipe out cancel culture,” proclaiming it to be a form of fascism.
In a new opinion column for the New York Post, Morgan argued that the long-running program The View has become a “pointless, irrelevant, Trump-loathing joke,” urging its parent company, ABC Television, to cancel it, devoting roughly a thousand-word document to personally attacking each of the hosts while taking issue with their opposition to the soon-to-be president.
Speeding through specific reasons why he despises each program member, Morgan framed much of the column around the notion of being stuck on an island with them.
“In my worst nightmares, I find myself trapped on a desert island with the hosts of The View,” he wrote, “and all day long, I’m subjected to them all snarling, whining, scowling, seething, and cursing about the same thing: Donald Trump. The nightmares are long, torrid, mentally scarring, and always involve the same pattern.”
He then writes that while he gets to “wake up” from his nightmares, the show’s viewers are not so lucky and demand that ABC end the program. One thing that seemed to incense Morgan was co-host Sunny Hostin‘s statement that after the election, she was “profoundly disturbed” that Trump won, claiming it had everything to do with cultural resentment in America.
“This made me laugh out loud,” he reacted. “Trump’s win had everything to do with policy, especially on the economy and immigration, and the people most aggressively fueling cultural resentment have been the hosts of The View, whose insufferable woke worldview just got repudiated spectacularly.”
While Morgan had been a loyal defender and close pal of Trump following his winning 2008 run on The Celebrity Apprentice, he began distancing himself from the then-president in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically referring to Trump’s suggestion at a press conference that “ingesting” bleach could potentially cure the virus.
“I don’t like cancel culture – but given the hosts of The View have, by their admission, worked so hard to cancel Donald Trump, it’s time they were canceled themselves,” he concluded.
Morgan was recently cleared by the U.K. broadcast regulator for comments he made about Meghan Markle.
