Go ahead and call Piers Morgan whatever name you like – we do it all the time.

The British media personality is a big fan of sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong, but there’s no denying that some of his recent interviews have been great viewing.

Piers and human sweatbox Rudy Giuliani went at it good and proper regarding some of Donald Trump’s tweets last year, and the on-air humiliation of UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock was an instant classic.

As the powers of former president Trump have waned, Piers has distanced himself from a man he once frequently defended, with his Tuesday morning live TV showdown involved Sarah Palin further evidence of that.

Palin, the former Alaska governor, has a long and storied history of talking nonsense, and has been all-in on the lie that Trump won the November election.

As the Trump impeachment trial kicks off, Palin and Morgan clashed, reports The Daily Beast:

…Morgan noted that Trump’s persistent pushing of the “Big Lie”—that the election was “stolen” from him—was a driving motivation behind the Jan. 6 insurrectionist mob storming the U.S. Capitol.

Palin, meanwhile, refused to accept that Trump had any responsibility for the rioting that left five dead, including a police officer, instead saying the “idiots who did storm the Capitol,” some of whom have blamed Trump for inciting them, are “a symptom of a societal problem where people cannot take responsibility” for their actions.

The back and forth continued, Palin hit back, and it made for entertaining, albeit painful, viewing.

The second video is where things really derail:

‘There were shenanigans, obviously.’ @SarahPalinUSA responds to @Piersmorgan saying Joe Biden won the US Presidency by fair means.

She avoids answering whether she accepts Biden won legally.

Like a bespectacled deer in the headlights.

The interview wrapped up less than amicably:

“I’m telling you where the shenanigans were,” the ex-governor exclaimed. “What about all the dead people who voted? That hasn’t been proven, really?”

Revealing he had finally had enough, Morgan sighed: “Sarah, we like having you on the program, but today you’ve come on today and talked nonsense!”

“I say this with the utmost respect to you, you’re sounding totally bonkers,” he continued. “And part of the problem for the Republican Party is that people like you, high-level members, high-profile members of the party are still perpetuating this utter load of nonsense.”

They are, and they will, because the Republican Party has turned into the cult of Trump, and until party leadership speaks out, it will remain that way.
