In Hilarious Exchange Tucker Carlson Dares Piers Morgan to Say “Fggot” on Camera After UK Woman Convicted of Hate Crime for Calling Man who Beat Her Up a “Fggot”

In a recent episode of the Tucker Carlson Show, Piers Morgan, UK journalist and host of Piers Morgan Uncensored, debated Tucker Carlson on free speech in the United Kingdom.

During one exchange in the interview, which aired on Wednesday, Tucker Carlson dared Piers Morgan to use the word “f*ggot,” a speech crime in the UK.

This comes after 34-year-old Elizabeth Kinney, a mother of four and an aspiring nurse, was assaulted in the UK and sent to the hospital, but because she referred to her attacker as a “fagg*t” in private text messages, Kinney was reported to police and convicted of a hate crime! Kinney pled guilty to “causing to be sent by public communication network an offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing messages,” the Daily Mail reported earlier this month.

“The Crown place this offence in the highest category of its type due to the effect related to sexual orientation and the greater harm because it had moderate impact,” prosecutors argued. Kinney’s lawyer said she was simply “unloading a lot off her chest” after being badly injured and hospitalized” and that the statements “were not being used against a person’s sexuality.”

Still, she was sentenced on enhanced or “uplifted” charges with a 12-month community order, 72 hours of unpaid work, and ten “rehabilitation activity days,” as well as a fine because of the “homophobic content,” the Justice of the Peace said.

“That story tells you everything,” Tucker said of the incident before asking Piers Morgan to say the word she was prosecuted for using in order to prove that free speech still exists in the UK.

But Morgan declined, arguing that he is “allowed to” but chooses not to because people might be “offended.”

In an apparent distraction attempt, Piers eventually humorously pointed to Tucker’s use of the word “chick” to describe a woman, asking, “How dare you be so sexist, comparing women to chicks?” Tucker then shot back, “How about this? Let my life, the way that I actually live and treat people, be the testament to my heart. That’s how I feel.”
