On April 26, Fox News’ Sean Hannity hosted anti-Muslim activist Brigitte Gabriel on his radio program The Sean Hannity Show. Gabriel is the founder and chairman of ACT for America, a Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-Muslim hate group that masquerades as an organization created to fight terrorism.
Gabriel has previously appeared on Fox News’ Hannity multiple times. On the April 26 program, she joined his radio show to comment on the student protesters in encampments at universities around the country. She called for the FBI’s counterterrorism task force to look into student protestors, whom she called “mini-Jihadists,” and cast doubt on the fact that people are hungry in the Gaza Strip. International assessments have concluded that there is a famine unfolding in Gaza. Gabriel then thanked Sean for “bringing people like me on” to discuss “the important issues that most talk radio hosts are afraid to talk about.”
Gabriel has recently appeared on a QAnon show to urge the audience to join and raise funds for ACT for America. Here is a partial summary of Gabriel and her organization’s islamophobia.
