We already know that Piers Morgan is one of the most hated people on TV, and he doesn’t have many fans. And now it seems like his son may have taken a side in his dad’s latest feud.
In case you didn’t notice, 51-year-old Morgan was going back-and-forth with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling after Rowling retweeted a clip of Morgan being told to “fuck off” by Australian comic Jim Jefferies. And of course, Morgan wasn’t a fan of that at all. And this feud had quite the twist when Morgan’s own son, Spencer got in involved in the most hilarious way.
Let’s first see how Morgan and Rowling were going at it.
Yes, watching Piers Morgan being told to fuck off on live TV is *exactly* as satisfying as I’d always imagined. https://t.co/4FII8sYmIt

This is why I’ve never read a single word of Harry Potter. https://t.co/XUJBMs4KKm

And of course they were off.
Because you had a premonition that one day the author would roar with laughter at seeing you called out for your bullshit on live TV? https://t.co/8rkKSqJTnG

Everything I said was factual.
If you think screaming ‘FUCK OFF!!!’ at me changes that, then you’re mistaken. https://t.co/0U9fVoTjfc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 11, 2017
.@piersmorgan Would you like a couple of hours to mock up some pictures of refugees carrying explosives to substantiate your position? https://t.co/sFj0kqIajd

The superior, dismissive arrogance of rabid Remain/Clinton supporters like @jk_rowling is, of course, precisely why both campaigns lost.

The fact-free, amoral, bigotry-apologism of celebrity toady Piers Morgan is, of course, why it’s so delicious to see him told to fuck off. https://t.co/4XNF4G0nlD

.@piersmorgan If only you’d read Harry Potter, you’d know the downside of sucking up to the biggest bully in school is getting burned alive.

No bigger bullies right now than the shrieking, hysterical anti-Trump celebrity brigade.
You lost, so suck it up Dolores. https://t.co/RFQkyJWxZ5— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 11, 2017

Right, time for a beer.

And here’s where the hilarious twist comes in. Spencer Morgan decided to chime in with this tweet aimed at his own dad and at Rowling…

Yep. That’s right. Piers’ own son has a Harry Potter tattoo of the Deathly Hallows symbol. Hell, he even has a necklace of it. We’re pretty sure this ends the feud right here, because how the hell does Morgan even come back from that?
And regardless of how you feel about the Harry Potter author, does anyone actually like Morgan? The dude is a massive tool and gasbag, and he just got shutdown by his own son.
