Count Larry Elder among those who were less than impressed with Piers Morgan’s mind-bogglingly bizarre interview with Zimmerman trial witness Rachel Jeantel. The conservative author and radio host took to Twitter to zing the cocky Brit for shamelessly fawning over Jeantel:
So @piersmorgan describes #RachelJeanel as "one smart cookie". Sure, it certainly explains why the 19yr. old is still in high school.

So @piersmorgan calls #RachelJeantel "one smart cookie". Great. Hire her as a co-host.

Well, that certainly couldn’t hurt Morgan’s abysmal ratings, could it?
To @piersmorgan, L. Pratt, Gun Owners America, is "an unbelievably stupid man." But #RachelJeantel is "one smart cookie" hat tip: J.Janowski

Piers didn’t take too kindly to being trifled with by his intellectual better, and he issued Elder a challenge:
Hey @larryelder – rather than pick on a 19 year old girl, come and debate this with me on my show. If you've got the balls.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 16, 2013
Poor sap has no idea what he’s getting himself into.
PIERS THROWS DOWN AT ELDER! IT'S ON! If @piersmorgan, you want me to debate you about this case, when and where, mi amigo, when and where?
— Larry Elder (@larryelder) July 16, 2013
Please. Please let this happen. For America.
That would be fun! -> RT @KamaainaInOC: I would pay to see @LarryElder debate @PiersMorgan.
