Piers Morgan has compared Jeremy Corbyn to Andrew Tate in a TV interview and it has raised more than a few eyebrows.
Morgan travelled to Romania to meet the kickboxer – who is under house arrest facing allegations of human trafficking – and questioned him about promoting misogynistic views to young men on social media, as well as his time in jail.

Morgan asked Tate about the Palestine-Israel conflict on TalkTV.
Talking about his position, Tate said: “If I believe, or Israel, that someone in your house was a terrorist, and destroyed your entire house and killed your entire family, would you accept that and say, maybe there was a terrorist there? Or would you be outraged?”
When Tate said that both sides had committed “heinous” acts, Morgan replied: “But not heinous enough to satisfy your bar of terrorism…by not saying it, you’ve made your position clear, just as Jeremy Corbyn did, and to pretend any different is ridiculous.”
His comments follow on from a recent interview when Piers asked the former Labour leader if he would call Hamas a terrorist group.
Hamas
Hamas is a Palestinian political and militant organization. It was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada (Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule) and is considered a terrorist organization by several countries and entities, including the United States, the European Union, Canada, Israel, and others. Hamas has been involved in conflicts with Israel and is known for its use of both political and militant strategies in pursuit of its goals.
