Piers Morgan blasts Don Lemon for branding him ‘racist’ saying he thought CNN host ‘was a friend’
PIERS Morgan has blasted Don Lemon for branding him a “racist” for his remarks about Meghan Markle, insisting he thought the CNN host “was a friend”.
The former Good Morning Britain and CNN host made the comments during a “tell-all” interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox Nation on Monday afternoon.
Piers, 56, came under fire for his comments about not believing Meghan’s claim she had been turned away from the Palace when she asked for help following suicidal thoughts.
Just six minutes into the hour-long bombshell interview, Carlson asked Morgan about Markle’s suicidal claims.
“You’re accusing two people in the palace of being unspeakably cruel simply to protect the brand of the Royal family, if that is true let’s have the names of these people and let’s go to them and ask them is this true,” Piers told Carlson.
“‘Did you tell a suicidal woman, who told you she was suicidal, not to get help?’ – because I find that impossible to believe.”
