Pam Geller, the controversial organizer of the Muhammad cartoon contest that got shot up by two gunmen Sunday, was taken to task on Fox News Thursday by contributor Juan Williams.
“If we want to have a serious conversation here about Ms. Geller, she’s like a pyromaniac who goes before the judge and says, ‘Oh yeah, we’re setting those fires to see how fast the fire department can respond,’” Williams said.
Sean Hannity wasn’t having this, and said Williams was blaming the victim [Geller] instead of the terrorists who shot up the event before being killed by security.
“Pam Geller was doing nothing but trying to intentionally trying to provoke this reaction,” Williams’ said.
Gellar, the president of the American Freedom Defense Initiative, who wrote a TIME column Wednesday titled, “This Is a War,” put blame on the media.
“It’s the media that has created these myths about me!” Geller shot back. “Why hasn’t the media questioned the motives behind the jihadists?”
“I think you’re about self-promotion, Pam Geller!” Williams’ shot back when Geller talked over him. Geller concluded Williams is “enforcing Sharia law.”
