On Thursday, Piers Morgan's show descended into chaos after he bizarrely cut off a guest's microphone while repeatedly refusing to answer questions.
British journalist and filmmaker Miriam Francois went on a rant during a panel discussion about the hostage trade between Israel and Hamas on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” Morgan asked Francois, a sharp critic of the Jewish state, whether she thought Hamas should continue to control Gaza after the ceasefire was implemented, and she refused to give a straight answer.
“Have we run into the white mantra of 'it's complicated'? I think we have, folks!” Francois said.

Morgan immediately objects to her “skin color rant” and interrupts Francois to ask what her “color” is, prompting Francois to say, “Sadly I'm in your camp.”
“Are you saying we can't comment on this because we're white?” Morgan asked.
Francois accused Morgan of portraying himself as a victim and continued his anti-Israel beliefs. When Morgan pressed her to answer the first question about whether Hamas should continue to maintain power in the Gaza Strip, she said she could not answer that because she is not Palestinian.
“You seem to be the world authority on everything Israel does, but you can’t even answer the basic question of whether Hamas should have any power after this,” interjected an irritated Morgan.
“Sweetheart, I'm just doing an analysis,” Francois replied.

The “Uncensored” host slammed the journalist's condescending language and said he was neither her “lover” nor her “daddy.” Francois called Morgan “dad” at the beginning of the show, trying to restore order to the discussion and stop the panelists from talking to each other.
“You've come for this opportunity,” Francois retorted with a grin.

Mr. Morgan again tried to pursue his uncooperative guest about whether he thought Hamas should continue to rule in Gaza, but Mr. Francois refused to answer his questions and discussed them several times. . Afterwards, the “Uncensored” host apparently reached a breaking point with Francois and told her she was never welcome to return to his show again.

“Why don't you try to be an adult? Why don't you answer this question? Or shut up. It's over,” the host exclaimed, cutting Francois' microphone off.
