Hannity Fires Back at Ed Schultz: No, Phil Robertson and ISIS Aren’t Equals

Sean Hannity‘s interview with Phil Robertson got lots of attention for the Duck Dynasty star saying the way he’d fight ISIS is “convert them or kill them.” Ed Schultz fired back by saying that Robertson sounded a lot like ISIS in those very remarks.

Hannity was clearly bothered by that and mocked “left-wing lunatic” Schultz for not understanding the difference between a Christian man like Phil Robertson and terrorists beheading innocent Americans on video.

Tamara Holder did tell Hannity he probably shouldn’t have chosen a “backwoods guy” to talk about ISIS on his show. Brian Kilmeade said Schultz was taking Robertson out of context and Hannity defended Robertson and reiterated his point, “Either they change their hearts, or they should die.”
