Megyn Kelly Battles Bill O’Reilly Over ‘Draw Muhammad’ Shooting: ‘Should We Get Rid of All Jews?’

Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly clashed Monday night over the Sunday shooting at a "draw Muhammad" event in Garland, Texas.

O'Reilly and Kelly both agreed that Pamela Geller and her group had the First Amendment right to hold the event, but O'Reilly contended that actually going through with it wasn't the best move.

"It's always cause and effect," O'Reilly said. "And the cause, because they did it, the jihadist do what the jihadist did. ... This is what happens when you light the fuse. You get violence."

Kelly was taken back by the comment.

"You sound like you're defending, you are attacking the event itself," she said.

"I would do it another way," O'Reilly replied. "I would do it another way."

“You know what else the jihadis don’t like? They hate Jews. Should we get rid of all Jews? That’s the path we’re going to go down if we start catering to the jihadis," Kelly countered.

Two men were shot and killed Sunday after they opened fire outside the event where contestants were asked to draw the Prophet Muhammad. Organizers said the event was intended to promote free speech.
