Piers Morgan snapped at independent presidential candidate Cornel West on Wednesday after West accused Morgan of being “a racist” during a heated debate.
After Morgan spent much of the debate accusing pro-Palestine student protesters of harassing their Jewish classmates, West declared, “All you wanna talk about is the Jewish students.”
West told Morgan that when he spends the majority of his time talking about student protests in the United States instead of Israel’s killing of civilians and bombing of universities in Gaza, “then in fact you become an extension of propaganda, and that’s why I call you a racist because it means then that Palestinian lives do not have the same value as an Israeli life.”

West shot back, “Biden believes that too. Do you think Biden believes that Palestinian life has the same value as Israeli life?”
“Yes, I do,” replied Morgan, to which West protested, “Absolutely not! He doesn’t have a moral fiber in his bone when it comes to the Palestinian predicament!”
After Morgan insisted, “I believe Palestinian lives matter just as much as any other life and I’ve always said that,” West replied, “Does not manifest in your framing, brother. Does not manifest in your framing.”
