One Instagram user said in a post by 'theglocal' official:
"I feel like Pierce Morgan is pro-Palestine, but he can't say."
Other users had something different in mind:
They said that he's been towards pro-Israel spokespeople such as Ben Shapiro by giving them more time and not cutting them off compared to pro-Palestine spokespeople who were cut off and given less time.
More people said that he has one goal only, and that's fishing for more views, no matter which side he stands with.
