Piers Morgan Slammed After Caught Not Wearing Mask In Public
Summit News ^ | 14 December, 2020 | Steve Watson

Why is it that those celebrities most vocal in lecturing others about ‘the rules’ are the first to break them?

British news anchor Piers Morgan has been slammed as a total hypocrite after being caught not wearing a face mask in public over the weekend, despite lecturing everyone else for months about the need to wear a mask.

Morgan was pictured getting into a cab in London without a mask on, prompting him to admit he was being an idiot:

Morgan claimed that he put the mask on after the picture was taken, but it was too late, given that he absolutely relishes in calling other people morons every day for resisting, or just plain forgetting about the mask.

“I did breach covid rules for a few seconds by forgetting to put my mask on before I got in the cab,” Morgan wrote, adding “Fortunately, I remembered as we pulled away & put it on. Masks help save lives, so it’s very important we all remember to wear them when we should.”

Given that Sky News presenter Kay Burley (another anchor who lectures every single day about masks and social distancing) has been suspended for six months after holding a birthday party with scores of guests, some have called for the same treatment for Morgan:

Because Rules are for the little people.

Good thing he immediately recanted.

It’s important to prostrate oneself in situations like this. Otherwise the inquisition with its factual science protecting the world from global warming, the ozone hole, or covid-19 will come after you.

BTW- have you seen the great news from Europe. Germany is reporting that ever since Covid-19 the CO2 production has dramatically been reduced.

If masks worked the spread of the virus would be over.

This jerk Piers has been blaming Trump all year for not doing enough to stop the spread of COVID. Like Pelosi and Newsom, looks like he got busted.

No, because the ‘little people’ are getting played like a grand piano.

If this was truly dangerous, the elites would be the first to take all reasonable precautions. But they are caught time and again in large congregations, maskless, staying close to others with nary a worry in the world.

The gullible and those ruled by fear are their own tyrants.

It would help a lot if the President would come clean and affirm there IS treatment for those who truly get sick.

Not only do we not need a vaccine, these rushed vaccines are unsafe, inadequately tested, and have already caused serious side effects.

Look at the sporting events now. All the players are mask free
but the refs, coaches, audience are wearing mask. No ryhme or
reason to the rules it seems.

Take the masks off.

We need to do this ourselves because they're never going to tell us it's OK to take our masks off. The masks have nothing to do with health. They're merely a demonstration of compliance.

I was standing in line outside Pizza Hut Saturday night, socially distanced but unmasked. There were two other people in line as well and I noticed after a couple of minutes they both took their masks off and the three of us engaged in conversation, unmasked and without a care in the world.

This is what it is going to take. The more people who remove their masks, the more of a comfort level for the rest to do so as well.

Now, if you want to wear a mask on your own. That's fine. It should be entirely up to you. I hate wearing them.

You are right - mass noncompliance is what it’s going to take.

Hope many will read your advice and act accordingly.

We are not in disagreement.

He got slammed because he’s not totally on board with the left.

Cuomo, newsome, et al can do what they please and nobody (besides us) *slams* them.

The media would not even cover it if it could be helped.

Sheesh, they are making it sound like people who don’t wear masks are ax murders or something.
