'Populism is rising because people are fed up with the PC culture,' Morgan said. I just think it is all completely skewed to an environment where everyone is offended by everything and no one is allowed to say a joke,' he said.

'What's the point of calling yourself a liberal if you don't allow anyone else to have a different view,' asked Morgan. Inevitably, the YouTube clip went viral, gaining over 3m views in a couple of days. ![]() The show lasted an hour, but the brief three-minute clip where Morgan cut loose on the 'snowflake' generation turned out to be the money shot. And Morgan being Morgan, he didn't hold back, claiming that liberals have become so unbearable it is they who are at fault for the rise of populism. So when Morgan appeared on a conservative US talk show hosted by Ben Shapiro last week, it came as no surprise that liberals came up in conversation. Time and time again, people to the left take Morgan's bait. In fact, you get the feeling he loves nothing more than poking the bear to get a reaction. Not that Morgan is too bothered by any of this. To them, Morgan isn't a 'love him or hate him' Marmite figure, they just hate him. This bombastic style is like a red rag to the liberal bulls who populate such a large portion of the Twitter-sphere. When he is not writing for the Mail Online or presenting Good Morning Britain on ITV, Morgan will more often than not be found on Twitter, shooting from the hip on all matter of topics. You get the sense he loves being the story. ![]() Piers Morgan, the controversial UK journalist and broadcaster, is accustomed to making headlines rather than merely writing them.
