Michelle Dewberry clashed with former political advisor and journalist Jo Phillips over protests in the wake of the Golders Green terror attack.
The pair locked horns after Ms Phillips compared those demonstrating over concerns about migration to the proscribed group Palestine Action as “equally abhorrent”.
Discussing the potential banning of controversial marches in the wake of the attack, the former Liberal Democrat spin doctor said: “If you're going to ban one, you've got to ban another”.
The debate was sparked by the Prime Minister’s address to the nation earlier on Thursday afternoon.
In the speech, Sir Keir highlighted “marches that happen regularly across Britain” and warned the expressions of some attendees equated to “venerating the murder of Jews”.
Ms Phillips feared a blanket ban would affect groups like the Stop the War Coalition.
“You can't put them necessarily in the same basket as Palestine action," she said.
“You can't put a lot of people who might be marching for different reasons in the same bracket as a Tommy Robinson, Britain First march, which many people would find equally abhorrent.”

The comment prompted a furious injection from Michelle, who asked: “Tommy Robinson? Britain first? What are you talking about?!”
She then launched a defence of those who might attend a rally protesting the migration crisis.
“I would say that those events actually are attended by hundreds of thousands of people who are not the type of people that you describe," she said.
“There are millions of people in this country now that are sick to the back teeth of what has been done to this country.

Michelle declared: “People are sick of it!”
“They keep going to the ballot boxes. They keep being good little decent people doing everything that Keir Starmer etc. tells them to do.
“Sit in your box, go to the ballot paper, sit there chanting diversity is our strength. People are sickened by it.
“They have no routes, no options, and no outlets, so they take to the streets, and they peacefully march.
“Then people like you are essentially calling those people racist, hate-filled, Britain First-type mobs.
“They're just normal people!”
“No, they're not,” Ms Phillips shot back.
