CNN host Anderson Cooper pushed the ex-Marine Corps member on Thursday who organized what he claims to be a non-violent protest at a Phoenix mosque supporting “freedom of speech” while encouraging ralliers to draw the Prophet Muhammad and bring their guns.
“You don’t think bringing guns to a mosque while families are praying inside, wearing t-shirts that say ‘F Islam’ and shouting whatever it is you’re going to shot at them, as they come and as they go — you don’t think that’s promoting violence at all?” Cooper asked Jon Ritzheimer, who has promoted the event by announcing a “Draw Muhammed” contest.
