CNN Segment Gets Uncomfortable After Piers Morgan Refers To Andrew Breitbart As ‘Notoriously Evil’
There was a whole lot going on last night and somehow we missed this little gem; During CNN’s New Hampshire coverage, Piers Morgan had a satellite chat with Michael Reagan and Andrew Breitbart. Morgan tried to ask Breitbart how badly the candidates were breaking the 11th Commandment of Michael’s father, jokingly referring to his guest as being “notoriously evil.” However, the humor was lost on Breitbart and the segment got surprisingly uncomfortable surprisingly quickly.
Breitbart, seemingly baffled why this guy was insulting him off the bat, retorted that Morgan didn’t know him too well and that they’d maybe spent eight seconds together. Morgan, who appeared to think they were still engaging in witty television banter, replied that it was “a long eight seconds,” causing Breitbart to go in a lengthy explanation of his work and public persona.
It was as uncomfortable as you’d imagine.
Fortunately, it all was a misunderstanding based on a particularly British turn of phrase and the two were able to patch things up afterwards.
Still it made for some wonderfully tense television. We have to imagine that there were a few seconds where Reagan was thinking “Oh my God. I’m just on satellite. I should just walk away.”
