Political commentators Piers Morgan and Cenk Uygur recently clashed over trans-identifying athletes competing in women’s sports.
Uygur’s unhinged response to one of Morgan’s comments was ridiculed on X, with some users saying The Young Turks host “self-destructed” on air.
“They [Democrats] think that it’s perfectly okay to just completely destroy women’s rights at the altar of limitless gender identity to the extent we have biological males crushing women,” Morgan said at the onset of the looming heated discussion.
Uygur swiftly fired back: “That affects 0.0000001% [of people]. You guys are obsessed with beating up on trans people.”
“It barely affects anyone in the country,” he added, dubbing the entire men-in-girls-sports debate “a giant distraction.”
“Meanwhile, women are 51% of this country,” he continued.
“And you don’t mind Republicans taking away their freedom completely and saying that their body is a property of the US government?” Uygur said in an attempt to pivot the conversation towards the topic of abortion.
Morgan quickly reeled the conversation back into its initial point.
“I find it slightly weird when I hear people, on the one hand, ferociously wanting to defend women’s rights, but on the other hand, quite happy to see those rights traduced by things like allowing biological males to compete in sport or allowing, you know, biological males to be in female spaces, whatever it may be,” Morgan said.
“I’m sorry. You may not think it’s important.”
Uygur interjected: “You’re being ridiculous!”
Morgan proceeded to explain to Uygur why he’s “wrong right across the board,” emphasizing that not stopping trans-identifying athletes from competing against women will “destroy women’s sports.”
“More and more sports are seeing it happening,” Morgan said, to which Uygur replied, “Get back to reality.”
Uygur then admitted he agreed with Morgan, only to belittle the whole conversation once again because it “affects so little people” and is “an obvious distraction.”
Morgan countered by saying trans-identifying athletes competing in women’s sports “affects a lot more people” than Uygur realizes.
“If you were a mother or a father of a young girl, very promising athlete, whose Olympic place is stolen by a trans athlete who has an unfair advantage, you would not feel the way you do,” the Piers Morgan Uncensored host continued.
Morgan’s comments, however, were still not enough for Uygur.
“Has literally happened to maybe two people on planet Earth,” Uygur stated, to which Morgan quickly responded, “Shouldn’t be happening to anybody.”
WATCH:
Resist the Mainstream has reported on the many implications trans-identifying athletes competing against women has had on sports.
Last week, for example, a West Virginia judge determined that four middle school girls who had refused to compete against a trans-identifying athlete during track and field championships could not be banned from future competitions.
“Even though there was no malice found on either part of the defendants, the plaintiffs have met their burden and the temporary injunction has been granted,” the judge stated.
Riley Gaines called the ruling “a win for truth and sanity.”
Back in April a dad went viral after he delivered a tear-filled message about how girls being forced to compete against boys in sports are losing hope.
“These girls are discouraged, they feel hopeless, and they’re quitting. I just – we need to make it stop! I’m done! I’m done! I’m so done with it … stop taking things away from our little girls!” he pleaded during one part of his speech.
He was swiftly praised on X as his remarks circulated the internet, Resist the Mainstream reported.
