Piers Morgan's Antisemitism Burns Bright
Piers Morgan’s Epic Own-Goal: “Who Cares About Jewish Heritage?” – Except When It’s Muslim “Firsts,” Then It’s Front-Page Hero Worship
Team USA just delivered pure hockey magic: a 2-1 overtime thriller against Canada, Jack Hughes ripping the golden goal at 1:41, big brother Quinn sliding the perfect assist on the first tally. First men’s hockey gold since the Miracle on Ice. Red, white, and blue bedlam on the ice.
Fans, the USA and even President Trump) lost their minds and yes, they pointed out the feel-good bonus: the Hughes brothers are proud Jewish Americans. Mom Ellen Weinberg-Hughes (ex-U.S. women’s hockey legend) raised them with Passover seders, bar mitzvahs, the whole warm, gefilte-fish-filled deal. Noa Tishby nailed it in her viral clip: “Jewish hockey player Jack Hughes scores the game-winning goal to win Olympic gold for Team USA ”
Enter Piers Morgan, sliding into the replies like a Zamboni with a flat tire:“*American hockey player. Who cares what religion he adheres to?”
Oh Piers. The selective blindness is Olympic-level.This is the same guy who’s practically thrown parades for every Muslim milestone under the sun, Moeen Ali becoming the first Muslim to score a Test century for England, Sadiq Khan as Britain’s first Muslim mayor, gushing like it was the Second Coming of identity politics. “Historic!” “Proud moment!” “Representation matters!”
But a Jewish kid from New Jersey dropping the OT dagger for America? Suddenly it’s “irrelevant ethnicity” and “who cares?”
The backlash hit harder than a high stick. Critics called out the blatant double standard. Defenders tried the “we’re all just Americans” card.
Meanwhile the timeline was roasting Piers so hard his mentions needed a burn unit.
Jack Hughes, who played the whole tournament missing two front teeth and still smiled like a kid on Christmas, kept it pure gold:
“This is all about our country right now. I love the USA.”No lectures. No victim Olympics. Just a champion doing champion things.
Piers, buddy… you can’t cheer every “first” that fits your narrative and then play color-blind referee the second Jewish excellence shows up. That’s not consistency, that’s convenience with extra hypocrisy sprinkles.
America got the gold. And Piers was finally unmasked as the antisemite he truly is.
