Piers Morgan wounded a Scottish politician in a furious televised debate after describing Sir Winston Churchill as a "mbad murderer of white supremacy".
The host of Good Morning Britain, 53, told MSP Ross Greer, 24, that the MSP Scottish Greens: "If it was not Winston Churchill, you speak German and walk slowly to Holyrood. "
Piers described Mr. Greer as a "sneering and naughty young man" and accused him of providing "no balance, no perspective, no feeling that what Winston Churchill did for this country was good."
In response, the young MSP said that the version of the Piers events was "incredibly ahistorical".
When the presenter criticized him about the Bengal famine, Mr. Greer said: "You are doing a Piers crisis, your snowflake is very serious."
Mr Greer, spokesman of the Scottish Greens for Europe, was outraged with his speech on Twitter about the British prime minister during the war on 25 January.
His controversial tweet generated thousands of responses, including several from Morgan's Piers who called it "thick ginger".
After a heated exchange, Piers invited Mr. Greer to participate in a televised debate.
Speaking at the show this morning, he asked why Mr. Greer had written the incendiary tweet.
Mr. Greer said that Churchill was "racist because he hated the Indians with pbadion and described them as bestial people with a bestial religion."
He also claimed that the former prime minister had "advocated the use of toxic gases against the uncivilized tribes of Africa", as well as hateful rhetoric against the Afghan and Kurdish populations.
But when he accused the great and regretted Churchill of being "responsible for the famine of Bengal in 1943," Piers was unable to control his emotions.

He said: "It's a complete and total lie.
"In the middle of the Second World War, we see in the newspapers that Churchill is very concerned about the famine in Bengal. He traveled to Canada, Australia and Franklin D. Roosevelt in America, urging world leaders to help the Bengalis.
"What you say is not just offensive, it's a direct lie.
"It makes me furious, because without the toilet, you would speak German and drive you to Holyrood."
Mr. Greer was responding to a tweet from the Conservative Party on January 24 marking the anniversary of Churchill's death, calling him "the greatest Briton ever to live".
Greer, who is 24 years old Scotland's youngest MSP, was charged with "seeking attention" after stating: "Once again for the elderly at the back: Churchill was a murderer white supremacist mbad ".

He provoked a new controversy by describing whoever admires the leader of the Second World War – credited for helping to save Britain from Nazi Germany – as being "rude and simple in spirit".
Mr. Greer also spoke with MP Bob Seely, whose very great uncle served alongside Churchill.
Mr. Seely stated that Mr. Greer's argument was simply an "ordinary childhood smear" and an "eloquent stupidity".
The MP from the Isle of Wight pointed out that by calling Churchill a racist, Mr. Greer said that he was not any better than Adolf Hitler.
Piers added, "I know that he was an imperfect figure, but Winston Churchill alone brought this country out of the abyss.
"You say that the man who saved us from the Nazis is actually no better than a Nazi himself."
Ross Greer smiled fighting Piers Morgan in a televised debate early in the morning. The presenter accused him of "laughing, smirking and sneering" all through
Piers was among the many to criticize him – his message (above) generated more than 5,000 retweets and sparked a row that raged online throughout the weekend.
Throughout the debate, Piers told Greer to "stop laughing, sneering and snickering" because "the people who have been through the war are not laughing".
Exasperated, he finished the interview by saying: "You denigrate this great national icon. Well, do you know who I find revolting? You & # 39.
Yesterday afternoon, he confirmed a Tuesday morning clash on television for which some of Piers' supporters had promised to settle the recording of their televisions.
Mr. Morgan tweeted: "UPDATE: The thick Ginger @ GOSS MSP that says Churchill is a" murderer of white supremacy "will be live on @GMB tomorrow.
Mr. Greer, elected in 2016 at the age of 21, was uncompromising.
He said: "This is the true verified history of Churchill and the one known around the world".
Greer said his critics were not educated about Churchill's "shameful story"
He added: "If some here are uncomfortable, it's simply a sign that Britain is a poorly educated country and that it has its own shameful history."
His attack on Twitter comes after the anniversary of the death of Sir Winston on January 24, 1965, at the age of 90, including the premier, Theresa May.
Lee Pollock, of the International Churchill Society, said: "It seems to me that this young man is not as important as he would like it to be. He therefore found the biggest possible target to attract as much attention as possible from a radical point of view. It's a cheap thing.
Greer's comments highlighted Sir Winston's pre-war activity and his involvement in the colonial rule of India.
However, he faced a negative reaction, critics telling him to "do his research".
Colonel Richard Kemp, a veteran from Afghanistan, tweeted, "If Churchill had not saved our country from the Germans, you would not be a so-called 'green MSP' no matter what. # 39;. Y
"You would probably have managed almost to go to Oberrottenfuehrer, in the Hitlerite youth of Western Schottland."
Other Scottish politicians took up Sir Winston's defense on Monday.
The Maurice Golden Conservative Scottish bad, Maurice Golden, said: "Sir Winston Churchill is one of the defining figures of Western democracy … to reduce it to the detriment of the millions of men and women who have fought to preserve our freedom. "
