Piers Morgan is lashing out at the BBC for airing a cartoon of him with his head in Donald Trump’s naked backside.

Morgan recently interviewed Trump in the president’s first international television interview since taking office. The journalist was criticized for the interview being too fluffy and not a hard-hitting piece.

The segment was mocked on BBC Two’s “The Mash Report,” hosted by Nish Kumar, with a cartoon of Morgan literally brown-nosing Trump. Morgan took offensive to the cartoon’s airing calling it a “double standard” and “homophobic.”

The BBC thinks this is OK to broadcast. But if it depicted high profile women, there would be outrage.

If the BBC broadcast an image like this after a female journalist interviewed @theresa_may – all hell would break loose & people would be fired. Gender equality shouldn’t just apply to pay – should it? pic.twitter.com/9xNqGPjZl9

So we can’t have #gridgirls or #walkongirls because the imagery is ‘demeaning’.
But the publicly-funded BBC can broadcast this about 2 men?
Any comment, @Ofcom? pic.twitter.com/ErOtK8Lvh6

It portrays two straight men in a homosexual act so yes, it’s homophobic – not that you can even spell the word. https://t.co/EqWdv0NfL9

When asked on Twitter why he didn’t ask tougher questions, Morgan replied that he wants to interview Trump again.

Sure, anyone can pull a stunt like that & burn their bridges.
President Trump might be in the White House for the next 7yrs.
I want to interview him again. https://t.co/6bTnRr2k7t
