LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tucker Carlson isn’t holding back when it comes to Meghan Markle.

In a fiery discussion with Piers Morgan in Saudi Arabia, the conservative commentator declared that Markle does not represent Black Americans, as reported by The Beat.

Speaking about the US political landscape, Tucker Carlson suggested that opposition to Donald Trump relied on figures like Meghan Markle to maintain influence on specific groups. However, he argued, that strategy failed because Markle never genuinely spoke for the people she was supposed to represent.

Tucker Carlson argued that those opposing Trump made a critical error by choosing what he called "incompetent parasites" as their representatives.

“It was a whole class of people whose cart was being overturned by Trump,” Carlson told Morgan. “They used, kind of, symbolic figures like Meghan Markle, as you found out, as their proxies to hold power but those proxies never represented the groups they supposedly represented. Meghan Markle does not represent Black people in the United States, I don't know if you knew that?" 

Piers Morgan agrees with Tucker Carlson's remarks

Piers Morgan, known for his outspoken views on Meghan Markle, quickly agreed. 

“No question she doesn’t,” Morgan responded. "Don't worry, I'm very familiar. She doesn't represent anybody other than a very elite hypocritical group of people who are really going to go down in history as the most hypocritical group of people ever."

Markle and Prince Harry have remained silent on the latest US election, which saw Trump defeat former vice president Kamala Harris.

Morgan opened up about being pushed out of his role on 'Good Morning Britain' after making controversial remarks about Meghan Markle. He had previously cast doubt on her claim that she struggled with suicidal thoughts while dealing with intense media scrutiny during her pregnancy with Prince Archie.

"When I left Good Morning Britain and got Markled as I call it, you gave me the chance to have my say afterwards. You were the first one to ask," Morgan told Carlson.

Carlson called the whole situation “insane.”

“When that happened to you, I thought to myself, I actually asked one of my producers 'well what did he do?' and they told me that he like publicly doubted Meghan Markle's saintliness or something, like I don't think she's actually Jesus," Carlson quipped.

Morgan, now running his own independent platform, had the last word, “I've never felt happier professionally than I do right now. I own my YouTube channel, I own, you know, everything about it. The only person that can fire me is myself."

Tucker Carlson’s recent comments about Meghan Markle’s representation of Black Americans have sparked a flurry of online reactions, with opinions ranging from strong agreement to outright dismissal.

One user cheered, "Hahaha Parasites! Nailed it!!!" while another added, "MM doesn’t represent ANY people in the US."



 



 

One commenter stated, "Markle doesn’t represent anyone anywhere. Decent people saw her for what she is a long time ago."

Another praised Carlson, saying, "This is pure GOLD from Tucker!"



 



 

Some found humor in the moment, with one user remarking, "When Tucker Carlson laughs at Meghan Markle, the world laughs with him."



 

Criticism of Markle continued, as another commenter argued, "Markle lacks self-awareness or insight. And that will be her downfall. She seems to think more exposure will make people like her. Forcing herself on the public with fake charity missions, paid-for PR & pap walks only make her more unlikeable."
