Ben Shapiro: Piers Morgan a bully standing on the graves of Sandy Hook children

After weeks of belittling anyone who disagrees with him on guns, CNN propagandist Piers Morgan "got what was coming to him" on Thursday when he faced Breitbart.com editor Ben Shapiro, Newsbusters reported.

"You know, honestly Piers, you have kind of been a bully on this issue, because what you do, and I’ve seen it repeatedly on your show, you tend to demonize people who differ from you politically by standing on the graves of the children of Sandy Hook saying they don't seem to care enough about the dead kids," he said.

"If they cared more about the dead kids, they would agree with you on policy," he continued. "I think we can have a rational, political conversation about balancing rights and risks and rewards of all of these different policies, but I don't think that what we need to do is demonize people on the other side as being unfeeling about what happened at Sandy Hook."

Morgan was taken aback by Shapiro's accurate representation of his actions.

"How dare you accuse me of standing on the graves of children who died there. How dare you," he said.

One must remember, this is the man who calls people "unbelievably stupid" and "dangerous" if they disagree with him on guns.

Noel Sheppard wrote that Morgan has "got a lot of nerve saying 'How dare you' to anybody."

After Morgan repeated his "how dare you" line, Shapiro continued.

"Well, I mean, you can keep saying that, but you’ve done it repeatedly. What you do, and I’ve seen you do it on your program, is you keep saying to folks if they disagree with you politically, then somehow this is a violation of what happened in Sandy Hook," he said.

Shapiro produced a pocket Constitution, and challenged Morgan to produce the policy that would have prevented the Sandy Hook shootings. Morgan derided the Constitution as "your little book" later in the discussion.

“If you are so concerned about gun deaths then why won’t you ban handguns? Don’t you care about the children in Chicago?” Shapiro asked later.

The drubbing continued for 13 minutes, with Morgan eventually calling Shapiro a bully.

"Morgan, obviously bothered by his drubbing, continued to trash Shapiro behind his back but in front of his much more sympathetic follow-up guests, to whom he declared his great admiration and respect for the U.S. Constitution — the same document he just minutes before had deemed to be Shapiro’s 'little book,'” Twitchy added.

Sheppard wrote what Constitution and freedom-loving conservatives across the country were feeling: "Bravo, Ben! Bravo!"
