Piers Morgan branded 'incompetent' and an 'idiot' by Trump protester in furious interview on Good Morning Britain

Piers Morgan was branded “incompetent” and an “idiot” by an anti-Donald Trump protestor during a fiery interview on Good Morning Britain.

Sarkar explains that one of the reasons she plans to protest is because she finds the border separation policy adopted by the Trump administration “unconscionable”.

But Morgan responds by bringing up Barack Obama's deportation policy, asking her “where was your protest march” against the former president.

He tells her to “check out some basic facts” about her “hero” Obama, to which Sarkar shoots back, “he’s not my hero, I’m a communist you idiot.”

Sarkar then turns on Morgan, accusing him of “making up for his own incompetence” when he interviewed with Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year.

She says, “You didn’t hold Trump adequately to account when you interviewed him.

“It’s embarrassing, instead what you’ve done is straw-manned your guests and put words in my mouth and deflected from the actual argument at hand.”

The argument then comes full circle, with Morgan saying: “What I try to do is be fair about Trump, what you do is be relentlessly anti-Trump and relentlessly pro someone like Obama.”

“I’m a critic of Obama," an exasperated Sarkar explains.

The interview came as tens of thousands of people prepare to hit the streets of London and the UK to protest Trump’s visit this week.

The main Stop Trump rally organised and promoted by left-wing writer Owen Jones is expected will go ahead on Friday.
