New WH petition: Deport Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan

The latest in the White House petition follies: Send CNN television host Piers Morgan back to Great Britain.

More than 32,000 people have signed the petition on the White House website calling on President Obama to deport Morgan over his support for new gun-control laws after the Connecticut elementary school shootings.

Morgan "is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment," the petition says. "We demand that Mr. Morgan be deported immediately for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens."

Gun-control supporters and gun rights backers have filed competing petitions with the White House since the Dec. 14 attack that killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

The Morgan petition has passed the 25,000 threshold required for a White House response -- though officials aren't obligated to provide one.

Morgan is taking the whole thing in stride, tweeting out Monday: "If I do get deported from America for wanting fewer gun murders, are there any other countries that will have me?"

Some fans have tweeted suggestions to Morgan, including Australia and the Philippines.
