In case you missed it, yesterday Australian comedian Jim Jefferies lost his temper pretty badly at Pier Morgan when the two appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher.
The two engaged in a discussion about how Donald Trump should no longer be classed as 'the lesser of two evils' against Hillary following his recent policy decisions.
"Calm down, Bill. There is no Muslim ban," Pier Morgan said, much to the immediate annoyance of Jim Jefferies.

"Oh, fuck off," the comedian snapped back. "It's a fucking Muslim ban. He said there was a Muslim ban. It's a Muslim ban."

She responded by taking the mick out of his logic, saying that if he never read books from authors he felt might criticise you in the future, then it would make his trips to the local library pretty hard work.

And followed it up by suggesting his anger at her could be motivated by jealous from the 2006 British Book Awards.

At the time of writing the author was get to give a response, but by the looks of it even if they used to be friends there's no love lost between the two now.
It came after Piers Morgan attacked those who criticised him over his comments on Real Time with Bill Maher.

On the show Piers argued that Jim's reaction was a part of the 'hysterical' and 'over the top' rhetoric employed by many followers of politics and that Trump was in no way, like Adolf Hitler.
He then claimed that Jefferies was 'losing his audience' to which Jim asked the crowd, 'am I losing ya'?'
Afterwards, the former Daily Mirror editor took to his Twitter to silence those claiming he had been shut down.
What do you make of it all?
