Over the previous few years, British tabloid host Piers Morgan has relentlessly railed in opposition to “cancel culture,” calling it “complete lunacy” and “terrible for democracy” whereas fuming that he hates the “stinking hypocrisy” of the liberal “online mob” seemingly seeking to “cancel” every thing.

In reality, Morgan has even vowed to “wipe out cancel culture,” which he has proclaimed to be a “form of fascism.”

Well, apparently Morgan has discovered to cease worrying and love cancel tradition, no less than on the subject of the ABC daytime discuss present The Viewwhich has been extremely vital of President-elect Donald Trump, Morgan’s on-again/off-again shut pal.

In a Monday opinion column for the New York PostMorgan argued that the long-running program has turn out to be a “pointless, irrelevant, Trump-loathing joke” whereas urging the community to “cancel it.” He then devoted roughly a thousand phrases to personally attacking every of the hosts whereas taking difficulty with their adverse views in the direction of the soon-to-be president.

“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 exact same pattern.”

Ticking via particular causes he despises every of the present’s panelists, together with appropriating Murdoch media colleague Sean Hannity’s “Joyless” nickname for longtime host Joy Behar, Morgan framed a lot of the column across the notion of being caught with them on an island.

He then informed readers that whereas he will get to “wake up from these horrific nightmares,” the viewers of the present “aren’t so lucky” and wish ABC to take the showcase the air. “Every day is like that for them — a relentless assault on their eardrums from a bunch of partisan obsessives competing with each other over who detests Trump most,” Morgan added.

One factor that appeared to actually incense Morgan was co-host Sunny Hostin saying after the election that she was “profoundly disturbed” that Trump received, claiming it “had nothing to do with policy” and every thing 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 insufferably woke worldview just got repudiated in spectacular fashion.”

While every of the hosts acquired a style of Morgan’s vitriol all through the piece, he appeared to be notably indignant with Alyssa Farrah Griffin, who beforehand served within the Trump administration however has turn out to be a loud critic of the president-elect in recent times.

“As for shameless flip-flopper Alyssa, who revealed on Election Day she voted for a Democrat for the first time in her life, she declared Trump was ‘the most dangerous man to have ever sat in the American presidency.’ Oh, whatever,” Morgan sniped. “It’s precisely that kind of hyperbolic, apocalyptic nonsense, along with saying he’s the new Hitler, that drove so many undecideds to vote for Trump.”

Of course, making this greater than a bit of bit hypocritical on Morgan’s half is that the previous CNN anchor himself has been a “shameless flip-flopper” on the subject of Trump.

While Morgan had lengthy been a loyal defender and shut pal of Trump’s following his profitable 2008 run on The Celebrity Apprenticehe started distancing himself from the then-president in 2020 throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, he stated Trump’s suggestion at a press convention that “ingesting” disinfectant might be a possible remedy for the virus was “batshit crazy.”

Additionally, he felt that Trump confirmed himself to be “mentally unfit” to stay president following the January 6 Capitol assault, going as far as to say that Trump’s dealing with of the pandemic and incitement of an rebel made him remorse his assist for Trump. The two would then have a falling out the next yr after Morgan launched his TalkTV program Piers Morgan Uncensored with a Trump interviewwhich featured the host misleadingly claiming Trump “stormed out” over Morgan’s powerful questioning.

Even although Trump later declared Morgan “dead” to him,” he would later mend fences with the British broadcaster, ringing him up this previous summer season. Since then, Morgan has basically been again on the Trump practice.

At the very least, Morgan, on the finish of his Post op-ed, considerably acknowledged that his insistence that The View be put out of its “misery” ran counter to his long-standing anti-“cancel culture” stance.

“I don’t like cancel culture — but given that the hosts of ‘The View’ have, by their own admission, worked so hard to cancel Donald Trump, it’s time they were canceled themselves,” he concluded.
