Piers Morgan: ‘Appalling’ Obama Would Use Finger Gun in BuzzFeed Video

by Josh Feldman

When he was on CNN, Piers Morgan infamously really, really fought for gun control. Well, this time it’s not a real gun, but a fake one, that has him more than a little disturbed:

President Obama pretends to fire a gun to promote health care. Is it just me that finds this appalling?

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 13, 2015

President Obama made this gesture (and many others) in a BuzzFeed video yesterday meant to 1) show his goofy side, and 2) get people to go to Healthcare.gov.

Morgan isn’t the only person appalled at the video, but he probably is the only person appalled for that particular reason.

The Washington Free Beacon has this story prominently displayed on their front page.

I know, because I was just on their website, following a link so kindly given to us when one of DU's finest used the Washington Free Beacon's super-awesome Conservative content to support the latest Hillary hatefest.

'Cause that's what the bestest liberals everywhere do these days.

He's pointing at himself in the classic "you're the man" pose. Geez
Does Piers think he's thinking about shooting himself?
