Piers Morgan said this about the Trump blimp and Susanna Reid had the perfect comeback
Piers Morgan wasn’t happy with the balloon of his good buddy, Donald Trump. He was so unhappy, in fact, that he couldn’t stop tweeting about it, culminating with this effort.
Sir Winston Churchill reduced to this. Shame on everyone involved in this pathetic balloon stunt. pic.twitter.com/Lggkz8U5hL

There were no shortage of replies to the Good Morning Britain man and here are a few of them.
Get over it! We have something called a sense of humour.

That’s just a statue Piers, he died in 1965 https://t.co/QnNShkHoZu

You forget that Churchill fought fascists.

Also, very much enjoying the patriot act from a man who was sacked for printing faked photos of serving British soldiers in wartime. https://t.co/tl7u3HY0YE

We quite liked this as well.
Piers Morgan: why are you all protesting? Stop doing free speech wrong! pic.twitter.com/YVyC9R5lfI

But none of them responded with quite such style as his breakfast TV co-presenter, Susanna Reid.
Some people's idea of [free speech] is that they are free to say what they like but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage. Sir Winston Churchill, 1943 https://t.co/ZO0Bca5S8G

Boom!

Fair play to Morgan, he kept going.
It's not an outrage, it's just pathetic. And free speech means I can say that. https://t.co/RaoEMvo5zE

@susannareid Churchill would, I think it’s safe to assume, view Trump with a certain amount of cynicism.

Churchill, I'm absolutely certain we can assume, would not approve of mocking a US President in the confines of Parliament with a giant mocking baby balloon. https://t.co/r9lEJNyRK5

Get him on the show next week and we’ll ask him.
