Piers Morgan Has Some Strong Words About The Female Protesters

Yesterday, people marched in cities all over the world to protest the election and inauguration of Donald Trump. More people actually turned up to the Women's March than to President Trump's inauguration.

But Piers Morgan isn't happy because protesting is "undemocratic" and he thinks the Women's March was full of "rabid feminists" - as he told Andrew Marr and Anushka Asthana, the political editor of The Guardian.

Watch them go toe-to-toe here.

"Let's be honest, ladies," Piers tweet. "Today's Women's March is just an anti-democratic protest at Trump winning the presidency."

This is rather ironic because peaceful protests are a big part of democracy; democracy just means that an organisation, or government is controlled by the majority of the people who make it up. It's not that once something is vote in, whether it's a politician or a policy, you can never, ever question it.

As Winston Churchill said, "I may not like what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That said, Piers' opinion is also his democratic right, so it works both ways.

Piers said he was a feminist on Andrew Marr's show, but hates "rabid" feminists.

But Anushka hit back and said it was clear he wasn't a feminist at all.

It's been a busy day...

Furthermore, Piers is also angry with Madonna, who said at the Women's March in Washington DC that she had briefly thought that blowing up the White House was a good idea.

From this, Sir Alan Sugar decided to rekindle their long-lasting hatred on each other.

Piers said he was going to start a Men's March to "protest the creeping global emasculation of my gender by rabid feminists."

But then he backed out of his Men's March. There were plenty of men at the Women's March - it was simply called the Women's March because of the sexist remarks The Donald has made about how he thinks it's ok to "grab women by the pussy" as well as the other bigoted remarks made against Mexicans, Muslims and anyone who criticises him in the past.

The best thing about the marches in London - this!
