Piers Morgan clearly has no qualms about inviting people on his show who fiercely disagree with him or even attack him personally, and tonight’s opening interview with radio host Larry Elder did not disappoint. Elder told Morgan his interview with George Zimmerman trial witness Rachel Jeantel was horrendous and “condescending,” and even told Morgan that he was being “stupid” for his assessment of Jeantel’s character.
On Tuesday, Elder sent out a series of angry tweets about Morgan’s interview with Jeantel, beginning with this one.
Elder went on at length about underreported crime in Chicago, which Morgan agreed with, but he kept going on, even calling Morgan a “bleeding heart liberal,” until Morgan nearly shouted, “If I could just get a word in, that’s be great.” He attempted to call Elder out for “ridiculous things” he said about Jeantel, but Elder went on the warpath again, leading Morgan to remark he’s not in a competition for the “greatest filibuster in my show’s history.”

Morgan pressed Elder on whether he thought Jeantel was “stupid,” but Elder repeatedly dismissed the question and continued complaining about the myriad attention the trial’s been getting. When Morgan said Zimmerman’s getting away with no punishment, Elder loudly contradicted him, saying “He’s a marked man!” and “He will never have a moment of peace!” Morgan shot back that at least Zimmerman can walk away alive, unlike Trayvon Martin.
They also got into a back-and-forth about Zimmerman himself, after Elder asserted that he’d want more Zimmermans in his community to prevent more Ariel Castros. Morgan shot back that he has teenage sons and thus wouldn’t like the idea of Zimmermans patrolling the streets, but Elder just snarked at Morgan that he lives in a gated community so he doesn’t have to worry about that anyway.
Morgan attempted to call out Elder for questioning Jeantel’s intelligence, grilling him about her educational background as opposed to his. Elder told Piers that he shouldn’t be “treat[ing] black people like children,” and went on another tangent in which he scolded Morgan, saying, “You ought to be ashamed of yourself!”
Elder insisted he never called her stupid–that was Morgan’s word–and continued to lecture Morgan about the real problems in the black community that the media has no interest in talking about.
UPDATE: And to really convey just how insane this interview got, here’s what Morgan tweeted after it aired.
Watch the full, gut-wrenching interview below, via CNN:

Larry Elder for President!
How can we get a Larry Elder - Juan Williams debate on Fox News?
If by the term "racist," the Leftists in the media intend to mean those who disparage people because of their race, the Piers Morgans of this world need to look in the mirror, more often.
William Flax.
I’ve heard his name thrown around but this is the first time I’ve seen Larry Elder.
Wow. He pwned Piers. Loved it.
Larry Elder has been on top of this issue *long* before “flash mobs” & the “knock out game”. My oldest bookmark of him is an article in Jewish World Review from 2002.
My grandmother would say “He’s nobody’s fool.” & so do I.
He’s one of the best. I’m *very* glad to see him out there.
Larry Elder for President!
Hmmm! S'pose America is ready for its first black president? I don't mean its first red president with black skin, but genuinely black president.
I love Larry and I have for about 17 years.
Piers is an insufferable baby faced lightweight.
Trayvon was killed for his behavior, not his skin color. If he had acted civilized, he would be alive today.
Deport him back to the U.K.
As if they'd take him back.
He's been a Los Angeles treasure for twenty years...."The Sage from South Central".
We ought to send that a$$ Morgan back to England. Too bad they won’t take him.
It wouldn’t be much of a debate, Larry would reduce Juan to tears in the first 30 seconds.
LOL. Pee rse Morgan thought he would best Larry in a setup to get Larry to disparage Dee Dee. Larry wasn’t biting. Larry gave Piss Morgan a can of Whoopazz.
It is my understanding that he was NOT out patroling, but actually going to do some home shopping. In a troubled neighborhood, he was okay to carry a legal gun for self protection.
As for stalking, he saw an unfamiliar guy strolling the neighborhood slowly, looking around. He investigated because of all the trouble the neighborhood had.
These people trying to pin stalking, WANTON MURDER OF AN "INNOCENT", etc. on Zare so full of it and do not even want to hear anything that doesn't fit their agenda.
A tragedy, sure. And the best way to prevent more is for black so called "leaders" to quit telling these youths that they are poor victims and cant get ahead because of white oppression. So they equate styling their clothes, walk, language, sniffing, smoking, sticking, drinking, fighting, as getting to be somebody. Trayvon Martin hadn't been innocent since about 2d or 3d grade. He had been programmed by Sharpton, Jackson, and other "leaders" to destroy or self destruct.Pitiful, really, when the statistics of racial destruction and destructiveness is seen.
vaudine
Piers doesn’t care about how bad his guests make him look, he just likes the ratings. You know, anything above 0.1.
