Piers Morgan Rips Guest Over ‘White Man’ Taunt During WILD Hamas Debate: ‘You’re Sad You’re White!?”

Debate totally derailed on Piers Morgan Uncensored Thursday night after the host frustratedly clashed with guest panelist Myriam François for dismissing his take on Hamas’ future in Gaza with a “White man” jibe.

Focus was on a ceasefire brokered between Israel and Hamas with the help of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, seen as a turning point in the 15-month-long conflict. The Israeli Cabinet is set to convene Friday to vote on the deal, which includes a hostage-release arrangement.

Looking forward, host Piers Morgan’s panel discussed whether Hamas could remain in power in Gaza after the bloody conflict, whether by Israeli concession or in governance by Palestinian permission. Turning to François, an independent journalist sat on his panel, Morgan said that he did not believe Hamas could hold “any kind of power.”

“Did we come up against the White man mantra of ‘it’s complicated’? I think we did, folks. Here we are again,” Francois mocked, clapping her hands.

“Hang on, what color are you?” Morgan replied.

“I’m sadly of your camp, Piers,” the guest conceded.

“You’re White. So why are you using… Well, you’re sad you’re White?” Morgan asked as François began to talk about Israel.

“No, sadly, in your camp is what I said,” she responded.

“What does that mean?” Morgan pressed. “If you’re going to toss around skin color jibes, what do you mean?”

The guest attempted to move on: “Yes, anyway, your question was…”

But Morgan wouldn’t budge, repeating his charge: “What do you mean? What do you mean by your skin colour jibe? Are you saying that because we have white skin, we can’t comment on this?”

“Oh, spare me,” François shot back. “You know, this little victim thing you do, it’s not cute. It’s just exhausting.”

“It’s not a victim thing,” the host replied. “I’m asking you to clarify exactly what you mean when you say these things.”

“I will tell you exactly what I’m going to clarify,” the guest replied.

François argued that in November former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant “told the families of hostages that Israel had actually achieved all its military objectives in Gaza” suggesting that, if this were true, the hostages could have been returned “months ago.”

As his guest continued talking, Morgan repeated his original question: “My question for you is, should Hamas… Sorry, you have to answer my question or I’ll move on to somebody else.”

“I’m still going to your question,” François said.

“No, answer my question,” he said. “Should Hamas have any power going forward after this or not?”

“I’m not Palestinian. How is it for me to even answer that question?” the guest replied.

“You seem to be a world authority on everything Israel’s doing, but you can’t even answer a basic question about whether Hamas should have any power afterwards,” Morgan taunted.

“Yes, sweetheart, I just do analysis,” she said.

Morgan returned: “I’m not your sweetheart, I’m not your daddy, I’m not any of these stupid little jibes you’re doing. I am White, a slur you seem to think is somehow worth delivering in the middle of this.”

As François noted that there were no guarantees that the current ceasefire deal would see completion into its second and third phases, Morgan accused her of not answering his original question: “Answer my question!”

Pretending to play drums, François replied: “My answer is… are you ready to hear it? Little drum roll for you. Is… that we should be looking at a peace deal that achieves actual peace in the region.”

Morgan asked the question again but unsatisfied with François’ answer unleashed on her antics.

“We’re not all five-year-olds,” he said. “Why don’t you just try and be an adult. Try and be an adult in the room and answer a straight question.”

“How about you don’t talk over me,” she sniped back.

“No, how about you answer my question or you shut up,” Morgan snapped.

“Oh, did you just tell me to shut up on your show?” the guest returned.

Morgan delivered his ultimatum: “No, I gave you a choice. Answer the question or shut up. One of the two.”

“You’re not my dad, sweetheart,” François said.

“Which one’s it going to be?” Morgan repeated.

“You’re not going to tell me what to do,” she replied.

As his guest continued to speak, Morgan turned to another panelist: “Let me go to you because you seem like somebody who won’t be calling me sweetheart or dad.”

Addressing François, he added: “No, I’m done with you. I’m sorry. I’m done with you, Myriam. You’re a complete and utter half-wit.”
