Former United States President Donald Trump got into a heated exchange with Piers Morgan during an interview and walks out, saying the host was "very dishonest." The Republican businessman also called Morgan a "fool" when he was pressed on his claims of voter fraud during the 2020 election.
Former United States President Donald Trump blasts Piers Morgan while suddenly walking out of the interview when he was pressed on his claims of voter fraud during the 2020 elections, saying the host was "very dishonest."
During the interview, the Republican businessman became increasingly frustrated with Morgan's questions and at one point called him a "fool." Trump said he was a very honest man and claimed that he was much more honest than the interviewer.
Trump Walks Out
Morgan at one time said that the 2020 election was a "free and fair election" and told Trump that he clearly lost. Trump shot back, saying that only a fool would believe that, and continued to criticize the post columnist for his words and beliefs.
Since election night of 2020, Trump has repeatedly claimed that there were hidden plans to make him lose the presidency, including expansion of mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. He argued that Democrats used the process in key swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, as per the New York Post.
The fiery interview is another sign that the former president plans to continue clinging to his baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 elections. The Republican businessman has also maintained his stronghold on the GOP as he teases a potential 2024 presidential bid.
The interview was for Morgan's new shot titled "Piers Morgan Uncensored," and Trump was his first guest. He is returning to television after a controversial exit from "Good Morning Britain" last year.
According to Politico, Morgan is set to reveal more details regarding his interview with Trump in a column on Thursday and said that Trump called him a fool more than six times. Furthermore, the former president allegedly attacked former Vice President Mike Pence, calling him "foolish and weak" and calling Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell "stupid."
Interview With The Former President
In an advert for the interview, Trump was seen walking out of the interview and telling the camera crew to "turn the camera off." The 75-minute show is scheduled to air on Monday at 8:00 p.m., which is the launch day of Rupert Murdoch's new television enterprise.
Morgan is believed to be paid $65 million over the course of three years with the new program that will be streamed on various outlets. Murdoch, who hired Morgan in September, said that the columnist is the broadcaster that every channel wants but is too afraid to deal with. He called Morgan a "brilliant presenter" and a "talented journalist" and argued that he said what people thought and felt.
His return to television marks him making good on his announcement when he was a guest on the Lorraine show on Saturday. Morgan left Good Morning Britain after he had an on-air clash with weather presenter Alex Beresford over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's interview with Oprah Winfrey, The Guardian reported. Morgan has since said that he acknowledged that he should not have stormed out of the program despite the confrontation between him and Beresford.
