Piers Morgan, a British TV personality, known for his unique sense of humor and strong opinions, has angered a whole crowd of proud dads with one simple tweet. It involved a picture of Daniel Craig, AKA the actor who played James Bond, wearing a papoose to hold his daughter. If you don't know what a papoose is, you are about to.
I bet you thought moms were protective and defensive towards their children, but wait until you read the comments from these dads. They will have you standing and cheering out of excitement and support for any papoose-wearing papa. Many dads and moms stood up for men choosing to carry their child using a papoose, and Piers had quite a few things to say back to those who decided to respond.
We've got some good tea ahead, including pie throwing, an angry Chris Evans and even some Donald Trump jabs. It's about to get interesting.

He appeared on America's Got Talent, and Britain's Got Talent as a judge and boy oh boy, judged. Think of Simon Cowell but colder.Celebrity Apprentice star

He also won Celebrity Apprentice in 2008. Yes, I am cringing looking at this picture. Also, this is actual proof that Donald Trump really was that orange at one point.He's a bit of a jerk
Here he made a little girl cry within three seconds of auditioning for Britain's Got Talent. This guy's so rude that he even makes Simon Cowell look good.Stardom comes with a cost
Clearly, he's had his fair share of fame, whether it was in a good spotlight or not.The spark that ignited the flame
Oh 007.. not you as well?!!! #papoose #emasculatedBond https://t.co/cqWiCRCFt3— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan)1539581503.0
Oh, no he didn't!
Yes, he did make fun of 007 and challenged his masculinity, all because he was carrying his baby using a papoose. Here comes the Twitter rage.Dads unite
@piersmorgan I loved wearing my baby. Fancy a dad enjoying being close to his child! https://t.co/vajH5Flrpw— Seán Ó Domhnaill 🕊️ (@Seán Ó Domhnaill 🕊️)1539618223.0
Papoose pride
This guy showed that wearing a papoose will never stop dads from doing things that they love, like fishing. In this case, the papoose freed up his hands so he could fish. It looks like the papoose saved the day.Mr. Bonding with his daughter

Piers bites back
After the original tweet got so much attention, (some even tweeted #PapooseGate because of how scandalous this tweet was) Piers responded to his followers who were "screaming abuse" at him, in his words.Getting defensive
He’s not carrying it, that’s my point. He’s using an emasculating papoose. James Bond would never use a papoose to… https://t.co/L3DV5FRBrb— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan)1539633545.0

He really went there
Who hurt this man in the past? Was he never held closely as a child? I mean he is really coming for the papoose and all papoose fans.A big baby
I stepped up, just never with a papoose. They’re ridiculous. https://t.co/2IMYQHqcuJ— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan)1539634080.0

Et tu, Stig? Come on mate, put the papoose away & carry your baby properly. Like a caveman. https://t.co/IUEhaJfcm4— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan)1539634727.0
Don't get too close!
This GIF is Piers Morgan every time he sees a man wearing a papoose, afraid his masculinity might dissolve by just looking at one.What is "masculine joy?"
Carrying a baby is harder work, but worth it for the unashamedly masculine joy of NOT wearing a papoose. https://t.co/3liJ4CZJGG— Piers Morgan (@Piers Morgan)1539634991.0
