Piers Morgan Calls Trump ‘a Coward’ After Synagogue Shooting Comments: ‘Grow a Pair’
Piers Morgan has once again gone off on President Donald Trump after the deadly shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue over the weekend, calling Trump a “coward” and telling him to “Grow a pair” and ban the Ar-15 rifle in America.
In a column for the Daily Mail published Monday, Morgan scoffed at Trump’s suggestion that things might have turned out differently if “they had some kind of protection inside the temple.”
Noting that four officers were shot during the incident in Pittsburgh, Morgan wrote, “they were armed, highly trained, and knew what they were dealing with by the time they arrived at the synagogue … So what possible chance would a solitary guard have to stop a lunatic who burst in during a service blazing away with a semi-automatic rifle?”

Morgan went on to reflect on Trump’s “paymasters at the NRA,” writing, “they now have a compliant President who will do their bidding, because he thinks it will be electoral suicide not to.”
In the column, Morgan ticked off a list of mass shootings in America in which an AR-15 was involved, writing, “This is not a coincidence … The reason why all these shooters used an AR-15 is simple: they’re light, easy to use, and specifically designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest possible time, and in the most appallingly devastating way.”
Morgan continued that Trump “deliberately chooses to do nothing to stop crazy people repeatedly using AR-15s to slaughter Americans, because he doesn’t want to upset a despicably cynical and ruthless lobby group hell-bent on turning America into a militarized state.”
