Piers Morgan took to social media to share the rare occasion he and Hillary Clinton agreed with each other as there are calls for e United States secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth to resign
Piers Morgan and Hillary Clinton became involved in a surprising social media conversation on Wednesday. It comes as the pair often come to blows over their different stances on tough subjects.
However, this time both were surprised to find themselves in agreement. It came after the former Good Morning Britain man wrote on Elon Musk’s microblogging site, X, formerly known as Twitter: “If you don’t consider this to be classified info about imminent war plans, it *may* be that you’re too partisan to recognise the truth when it slaps you around your tribal chops.
“If this had happened on Biden’s watch, Republicans would have rightly gone berserk.”
He then shared leaked information from the United States secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth. In it, it allegedly shows timings for potential launches.
Hillary re-shared Piers’ post and said: “Never thought I’d be retweeting Piers Morgan, but he’s right!” Piers shared the interaction on his Instagram account and captioned the post: “Finally, Hillary smashes a glass ceiling…”
He then told his followers to scroll to see how he replied to her. The message showed Pier’s response reading: “Do you know much about classified info breaches?”
Hegseth was urged “resign” after his Signal account shared the “reckless” attack plans. His critics said the leak could “put a target” on pilots during the mission.
Democrat Senator for New Jersey Andy Kim said Mr Hegseth acted “recklessly” after his account texted times when American pilots would carry out strikes in Yemen earlier this month. In the “team update” group chat on Signal, Mr Hegseth said F-18s would launch multiple strikes while being supported by drones that would be deployed against targets.
The leaked chats have proved to be a major embarrassment for the Trump administration with chat members, including Hegseth slamming critics. That is despite White House officials confirming the authenticity of his claims. Hegseth has repeatedly denied texting attack plans in the Signal group chat that included The Atlantic magazine’s Jeffrey Goldberg.
Earlier in the week, Piers also took aim at Lord Alan Sugar. While the journalist and broadcaster wished Lord Sugar a happy birthday on Monday, he couldn’t help but made a jibe – even referencing Donald Trump.
“Happy birthday, my Lord,” he said. “I’m staggered that the age gap between us is only 19 years. You look about 10 years older than Trump who’s your age.”
The dig was in response to a previous barb by Lord Sugar, which read: “@piersmorgan its my birthday today Piersy (78). I know you are trying hard to get me a stainless Rolex daytona let me know when you have it.
“I understand you are reaching the big 60 on the 30th are you eligible for your pension now. You can get you incontinence pants free now on the NHS.”
