British journalist Piers Morgan, on Monday, November 9, urged President Donald Trump to "suck it up" and concede the presidential elections to President-elect Joe Biden. Morgan, in an op-ed published in the Daily Mail, reminded the Republican that the elections and his presidency were "over." 

"It’s over. Done. Finished. Kaput. Your presidency, to borrow the words of Monty Python’s legendary dead parrot sketch, is ‘not pining, it’s passed on! This presidency is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late presidency! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It’s rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-presidency!'” Morgan wrote.

The Good Morning Britain's host, wrote the op-ed just days after he penned a touching piece on Biden's election win. Morgan, in the latest op-ed, presented himself as a "brutally honest friend" to the president as he noted that Trump had called him just two weeks ago "for a friendly chat." The TV presenter wrote: "The reason all the major US TV networks have called the election for Joe Biden is not because they all hate you. That would be absurd given one of them is Fox News which has been your biggest cheerleader for the past five years. No, it’s because he won, and you lost. It’s just as simple as that."

Morgan, in his piece, also acknowledged that the Republican's entire brand is predicated on winning, and conceding in the election would mean that the president would have to admit defeat. "It’s time for you to stop fighting and admit defeat,” Morgan said. “Even those many millions of Americans who loathe and detest you will have a grudging respect if you now concede gracefully, congratulate your opponent for his win, organize a smooth peaceful transition of power and turn up at his inauguration as Hillary turned up at yours," he continued.

Similar to Morgan's remarks, 'The View' co-host Whoopi Goldberg, also urged Trump and his supporters to "suck it up." In a statement on Monday, Goldberg said that it was time President Trump accepted the results of the 2020 election, just like Democrats "sucked it up" and accepted the 2016 election results. “Now, I just want to bring something up right now. I want to say to all those people who don’t believe that Americans actually got out and voted, let me say this to you,” Goldberg said. “When you know who was elected four years ago, Hilary Clinton didn’t say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, this doesn’t feel right, stop the count.’ She didn’t say, ‘This isn’t right, I’m not going for it.’ She didn’t say any of that. So, all of you, suck it up. Suck it up like we sucked it up.”

“And if you’re not sure that you’re comfortable with Joe Biden, do what we did, find things and then take it to the law and if the law says it’s something to look at, look at it. But from now on, suck it up," she added.
