Piers Morgan Claims He Doesn't Platform Holocaust Deniers. His Guest List Says Otherwise
Although Morgan fiercely rebutted the accusation as “absolute, categorical weapons-grade nonsense,” the record shows that he has, in fact, given airtime to figures promoting such ideas
A heated confrontation on Piers Morgan Uncensored recently reignited debate over the show’s record on platforming Holocaust denial and antisemitic rhetoric. In a viral interview on June 23, Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, told Morgan that his show had become “the main platform for Holocaust deniers.”
Prominent Guests With a Record of Holocaust Denial or Distortion
Although Morgan fiercely rebutted the accusation as “absolute, categorical weapons-grade nonsense,” the record shows that he has, in fact, given airtime to figures who have publicly questioned or distorted the facts of the Holocaust.
Dan Bilzerian
The most explicit example came in November 2024, when American businessman and Influencer Dan Bilzerian appeared on Piers’ show. During the interview, Bilzerian flatly disputed the established death toll of the Holocaust, declaring, “I would bet my entire net worth that it was under six million.” He went further, claiming Jews “basically invented genocide” and asserting, “I believe that Jewish supremacy is the greatest threat to the world today,” echoing classic antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories.
Morgan did challenge Bilzerian, at one point asking, “Do you accept Dan, that you are just blatantly antisemitic,” but critics argue that the very act of giving Bilzerian a global platform legitimized these views and allowed them to reach a far wider audience.
“I would bet my entire net worth that it was under six million.”

Additionally, in a post published on X in May 2024, Bilzerian claimed that the Hamas-led October 7th massacre “was was lied about and exaggerated just like your holocaust was.” He also added that “there were no mass rapes” committed during the massacre. This, despite extensive investigations and eyewitness accounts having confirmed that widespread sexual violence occurred during the attack.
Candace Owens
American political commentator and author, Candace Owens, who has also appeared on Morgan’s show, has engaged in Holocaust distortion and revisionism. Owens previously cast doubt on the well-documented atrocities committed by Josef Mengele, remarking, “The idea that they just cut a human up and then sew them back together. Why would you do that? Even if you’re the most evil person in the world, that’s a tremendous waste of time and supplies.” She also dismissed survivors of Mengele’s experiments as “bizarre propaganda.”
During an appearance on Morgan’s show, she stated that “People have been milking the Holocaust narrative in the same way that black Americans were milking the slavery narrative.”
In December 2024, Owens stated, “What Bibi Netanyahu has done to Palestinians since October 7th is a holocaust,” a rhetorical move widely condemned as trivializing the murder of 6,000,000 Jews.
Kanye West
Rapper Kanye West has repeatedly engaged in Holocaust denial and Nazi glorification. While his most explicit statements occurred on other platforms, West’s October 2022 interview with Morgan is notable for his refusal to apologize for antisemitic tweets and for using the show to defend his rhetoric.
Elsewhere, West has stated when speaking of Hitler, “He didn’t kill 6 million Jews; that’s just, like, factually incorrect,” and, “I like Hitler.... I’m not trying to be shocking, I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened, let’s look at the facts of that and Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities.” Such statements make him one of the most prominent celebrity Holocaust deniers of recent years.
Andrew Tate
Controversial influencer Andrew Tate has also appeared on Piers Morgan’s show, where he refused to condemn Hamas and accused Israel of “genociding” Palestinians. On social media, Tate has flirted with Holocaust revisionism and encouraged his followers to question the established narrative of the Holocaust and Adolf Hitler, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
He has further normalized Nazi symbols, suggesting, “we should bring the Nazi salute back,” and has promoted conspiracy theories about Jewish control and manipulation.
Piers Morgan Under Fire
Morgan’s willingness to host these figures has drawn significant backlash, especially in light of his recent conduct toward Jewish lawyer Natasha Hausdorff. In a widely criticized interview, Morgan interrupted Hausdorff dozens of times as she attempted to present a legal case for Israel’s right to self-defense, later accusing her on social media of being “disingenuous.”
Critics, including Hausdorff herself, argue that Morgan’s approach has shifted from provocative journalism to intentionally generating outrage, and that his handling of pro-Israel guests stands in stark contrast to his treatment of those promoting antisemitic ideas and conspiracy theories.
