Piers Morgan -- a citizen of the country America defeated in two wars to gain and retain our independence -- keeps telling Americans that our constitution is deficient. His usual target is the Second Amendment, but these days, he's going after the First Amendment, as well. In the wake of Charlottesville, Morgan's solution to hate speech is to ban it by amending and limiting free speech protections:
Conservative writer Ben Shapiro was having none of it, touching off this Twitter exchange, which predictably ended poorly for the pompous Brit. After Shapiro corrected his bad misrepresentation and ignorance of relevant caselaw, Morgan claimed to know more about the constitution than the Harvard-trained attorney. Things went downhill from there:

Were it not for the U.S. and our crazy ways, Britain would be Nazi territory. Ironic.
You’ve missed the point and sound like antifa.
Meh.
Shapiro’s retorts did not pertain to the original topic.
And it wasn’t that “brutal.”
I lament to infiltration of “clickbait” into FR.
who decides what’s hate speech?.. kind of like who counts the votes
Been Shapiro used to be on the morning answer in L.A.. I am glad they dumped him because he was so anti Trump during the election campaign. He is a winy little punk and his voice is adolescent. He can jump off a cliff as far as I am concerned.
Shapiro. Wrong on President, right on 2nd amendment. Piers right on President, wrong on 2nd amendment
Whenever this jerk says these anti Constitution remarks, I feel my ancestors didn’t kill enough of his brutal ancestors in our two wars against England.
Brave men like my Dad, a disabled vet from WWI, and uncles/older cousins, who served in WWII wasted their time and risked their lives to save a$$holes like this one and his Muslim mayor of London!
$crew all of them, who hate us!
Ben Shapiro has been a major never Trumper from the get go. I don’t care how conservative some pundits claim to be, if one of them hates my president he is my enemy.
PIERS MORGAN INSIGHTFULLY OBSERVED: “Streep began her laceration of Pres Trump by saying that Hollywood, foreigners, and the press are ‘the most vilified segments of American society' today. At which point, the cameras panned out to hundreds of the richest, most privileged people in American society in their $10,000 tuxedos and $20,000 designer dresses, loudly cheering this acknowledgement of their 'dreadful victimhood.'
=========================================
Poster's comments: Just goes to show..... liberals are never more jubilant than when they're in the "consecrated state of victimhood."
Ask their shrinks...... the only time liberals feel really good about themselves....is when they become "victims."
Lordy, one can just imagine the celebrations after Streep informed plain old Americans like us that THEY....the Hollyood luminaries.... are the real victims.
I can almost hear the champagne corks pop at their victimhood celebrations.....held in their 20 million dollar beach cottages in Malibu. before tout Hollywood.
