British Royal News says that Piers Morgan has done it yet again. It seems like he’s defending Jeremy Clarkson in the wake of his controversial column about Meghan Markle. Here’s what you need to know.
The article, which attracted criticism from high-profile figures and his own daughter, was removed from The Sun’s website on Monday afternoon at Clarkson’s request. In a letter to The Sun’s editor, Victoria Newton, signed by over 60 MPs, former Conservative minister Caroline Nokes asked for action to be taken against Clarkson.
Piers Morgan Seemingly Defends Jeremy Clarkson’s Misogynistic Rant Against Meghan Markle: “No Evidence For Cruel Allegations”
Piers took to his Twitter account to write, “Imagine if all those screaming with rage about Jeremy Clarkson felt the same protective anger towards those who’ve branded our Royal Family callous lying racist bullies – without producing any actual evidence for these cruel allegations?”
Of course, it didn’t take very long for his Twitter followers to weigh in on the matter. Many of them have commented with, “But we have evidence, and you’re trying to make excuses for your pal. I can imagine you Camilla and Clarkson having the most racist conversations behind closed doors,” along with, “The problem I have is Clarkson suggested a call to action. He is an international superstar (he’s massive in Asia and top gear re runs are popular in the US). His idea has inherently created a greater danger to Meghan and I imagine greater fear whenever she goes out in public.”
Another critic wrote, “One gammon riding to the rescue of another gammon – its pathetic. You sound like doubting Thomas asking for evidence. Until you see the evidence you think it right to bully and hound her ? Disgusting – you are a disgrace.”
In the piece, Clarkson wrote, “We all know in our heart of hearts that Harold Markle is a slightly dim but fun-loving chin who flew Apache helicopter gunships in Afghanistan and cavorted around Las Vegas hotel rooms with naked hookers. But then along came Meghan, who obviously used some vivid bedroom promises to turn him into a warrior of woke. At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her. Everyone who’s my age thinks the same way.”
