Anti-Muslim activist Pam Geller said in an interview Friday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that CNN anchor Erin Burnett “covets beheading.”
Geller’s comments came during a discussion about a previous appearance she’d made on CNN in which Burnett asked Geller: “Do you on some level, relish being the target of these attacks?”
Geller was allegedly the subject of a terror plot in which suspected terrorist Usaama Rahim plotted to behead her. Geller organized the May 3 “draw Muhammad” cartoon contest, held in Garland, Texas, that was disrupted by two gunmen who attempted to attack the event. The gunmen, alleged Islamic State supporters, were killed by a security guard outside the contest.
Fox News host Sean Hannity prodded Geller on Sunday, asking her about Burnett’s question.
“This is projection. Somehow Erin Burnett covets beheading,” Geller said. “I can’t imagine why anyone would self-promote to get themselves killed. If you’re into self-promotion, trust me, Sean, you don’t go into counter-jihad work because you’re smeared, libeled, defamed, and your name is destroyed. In Muslim countries, they kill you for blasphemy. In the West, they kill your name, they kill your good name, they assassinate your character.”
