Piers Morgan's show descended into chaos on Thursday after he cut off the microphone of a guest who bizarrely called him "sweetheart" and "daddy" while repeatedly refusing to answer his questions and dismissed her as a "complete fool".
British journalist and filmmaker Miriam Francois delivers a fiery rant during a panel discussion about Israel and Hamas hostage trading in "Piers Morgan Uncensored." When Morgan asked Francois, a strident critic of the Jewish state, whether she believed Hamas should continue to rule Gaza after a ceasefire was implemented, she declined to give a direct answer.
“Are we encountering the white mantra of ‘It’s complicated?’ I think we are!” Francois said.

Morgan immediately objected to her "color jibe" and interrupted Francois to ask her what "color" she was, prompting her to say she was "sadly in your camp."
"Are you saying we can't comment on this because we have white skin?" Morgan asked.
Francois accused Morgan of painting himself as a victim and going on an anti-Israel tirade. When Morgan asked her to answer an initial question about whether Hamas should remain in power in the Gaza Strip, she said she could not answer the question because she was not Palestinian.
"You seem to be the world authority on everything Israel does, but you can't even answer the basic question of whether Hamas should have any power after this," a frustrated Morgan interjected.
"Honey, I'm just doing analysis," Francois replied.

The "Uncensored" host blasted the reporter for his condescending language, saying he was neither her "sweetheart" nor her "dad." Francois had called Morgan "dad" earlier in the show when he was trying to restore order to the discussion and stop the panelists from discussing each other.
"It's you this time," Francois retorted with a smile.

Morgan again tried to press his uncooperative guest on whether he believed Hamas should continue to rule Gaza, but Francois refused to answer his question and talked repeatedly about him. The "Uncensored" host has apparently reached his limit with François and told her she would never be welcome back on his show.

"Why don't you try to be an adult? You either answer the question or shut up? I've had enough of you," the host said angrily before cutting off Francois' microphone.
