Piers Morgan objects to Women's March on Washington

On January 21, 2017, the day following Donald Trump's inauguration, Piers Morgan publicly criticized the Women's March on Washington, labeling the participants as 'rabid feminists' and dismissing the protests as 'vacuous'. His comments sparked significant backlash, particularly from actor Ewan McGregor, who disagreed with Morgan's perspective. In response to Morgan's remarks, McGregor chose to withdraw from an upcoming appearance on 'Good Morning Britain', where he was scheduled to be interviewed by Morgan. This decision highlighted the growing tensions surrounding the discourse on feminism and social justice at the time. In a further escalation, Morgan retaliated by accusing McGregor of being a 'paedophile-loving hypocrite', referencing the actor's previous support for filmmaker Roman Polanski, who has faced serious legal issues related to sexual offenses. This exchange underscores the contentious nature of public discussions regarding feminism and the complexities of celebrity opinions in the political landscape of 2017.
