Piers Morgan skewered Democratic lawmakers Thursday over their “pathetic” behavior during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

The Democrats protested Trump’s speech in the House chamber Tuesday night and refused to applaud his special guests, with one congressman even getting escorted out for shouting at the president as he spoke. Morgan said on “Fox & Friends” that their antics were “the most pathetic, petty, [and] shameful” behavior he had witnessed.

“I thought it was one of the most pathetic, petty, shameful things I’ve ever witnessed and it went on and on and on. Back in [the United Kingdom] we have Parliament, it gets very rowdy, very noisy, they all have a pump at each other, they lock horns. What you would never see is a 13-year-old boy, a brain cancer survivor, who’s been through 12 surgeries I think, who’s there having his dream lived out on global television and Donald Trump has facilitated that. Just get up,” Morgan said. “Get up and applaud that boy. The fact that they couldn’t even do that was just contemptible, I really did.”

“And the Democrats should take a good, hard look at themselves because the stupid signs, the not getting up for these poor families of these murdered people, the way they treated that boy, the walkouts, the silly Instagram stuff they did afterward, ‘look at me, I didn’t go in,’ this is the President of the United States speaking in the heart of politics,” Morgan continued.

WATCH:

Morgan argued that Democrats have “lost the plot” since the 2024 election and are currently scrambling to make a political comeback in future elections. He further stated that Trump is defeating the party on major issues such as women’s rights, as Democrats cannot even support banning men from competing in women’s sports while they verbally cheer on women’s rights.

“I think [Democrats] have lost the plot,” Morgan continued. “Democrats have lost the plot. They did not see this big wind coming for Trump in the election, they got completely wiped, they lost all power, and they are scrambling to figure out what they do about this. And I think the key messages that Trump keeps ramming home [is] that America is no longer a woke country and he’s sort of a pioneer of a revolution of common sense. They don’t really know what to do about this.”

During the speech, Trump awarded Devarjaye “D.J.” Daniel, a 13-year-old boy who suffered from brain cancer, with an honorary Secret Service badge in order to fulfill his dream of being a police officer. He posthumously honored 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray and Laken Riley, who were murdered at the hands of illegal immigrants, along with 19-year-old volleyball player Peyton McNabb, who suffered from a traumatic brain injury after competing against a transgender-identifying athlete.

The president signed an executive order Tuesday to rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge after Nungaray to commemorate her love of animals and wildlife. Democrats notably did not stand or applaud for any of these special guests or for the family members of Riley and Nungaray.

Lawmakers collectively threatened to protest the speech before it had even started and invited former federal employees who had been laid off by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to be in attendance. Just hours before the speech, 22 Democratic senators released identical videos on social media condemning DOGE chairman Elon Musk and the high prices of eggs, despite them repeatedly stating during former President Joe Biden’s administration that the president has no control over the economy.

Many congressional members also held signs up during the speech that read, “Musk Steals” and “Save Medicaid.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during Wednesday’s briefing that the Democrats’ portrayed themselves as being “the party of hate” over their refusal to applaud the special guests. She condemned MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace for invoking the 13-year-old cancer patient to criticize Trump for the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
