Piers Morgan is at it again. By “it” we mean saying unbearably stupid things online then getting roasted.
A few days ago, Morgan waded into the ongoing dispute between president Trump and US soccer star Megan Rapinoe. The football player had suggested that she would not accept an invitation to the White House if the team won the Women’s World Cup.
This didn’t go down too well with Morgan, who had previously called Rapinoe “cocky” and accused her of “loving herself” (how dare she?!) after the player celebrated scoring a goal at the World Cup. He also said he was looking forward to England’s Lionesses putting her in her place.
Ms Rapinoe sure does love herself. Can’t wait to see our Lionesses dent that stupendous ego. https://t.co/w5FzcnXvGQ— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan) 1561756105

Obviously, people have been roasting Morgan and the president for suggesting the US soccer star had no right to comment on politics unless her team won.
This is particularly joyous given the fact that the team are world champions once more.
