Never underestimate the power of Twitter to serve justice to those who troll greatness. Piers Morgan may have learned a lesson (or perhaps not) after he decided to stomp all over the mourning process after Muhammad Ali’s death. Morgan is a bit of an addict when it comes to Twitter, and he’s even more adept at trolling the masses. Some may even call him a professional troll. Here’s how he played this game on Sunday morning.
Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact

Morgan can usually be counted upon to stir the pot on matters of race, as he recently did with Nicki Minaj and Beyonce. He seems to crave this attention, which is bizarre for a man who’s already been handsomely rewarded with his own enduring media career. And yet he continues to draw attention to himself while putting other people’s legacies down. As was to be expected, Twitter responded sharply to Morgan’s trolling.
Piers Morgan is a professional troll and a racist hack.
He never trends on Twitter unless it's off the backs of Black people.~jazz hands~

Piers Morgan, tabloid twit, trends for vapid tweets on Muhammad Ali. "Muhammad Ali" doesn't? Eh, @Twitter algorithm? pic.twitter.com/XSzZhDnXGJ

Piers was not deterred. He called out his detractors while refusing to accept that they may be correct.
FYI:
The more the howling PC-bonkers Twitter mob bark at me to rescind an entirely accurate comment, the less likely it is to ever happen.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 5, 2016
Oh, and this happened too, after Morgan expressed a desire to not be remembered sweetly after his own death.
I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die.
No coats of sugar please.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 5, 2016
I did? > RT @mattdpearce: Piers Morgan died Sunday after getting brutally and repeatedly owned for his tweets. https://t.co/TyoHU3uAph

Well, Morgan has once again succeeded, and he’s probably already forgotten and moved on to his next target. Actually, some babies on a plane have heard the public’s pleas and served up some instant justice themselves.
Plane delayed on tarmac in St Tropez & all 18 babies on board simultaneously voicing their shrieking disapproval. 😭😭😭😭
