Gregg DeGuire/WireImage; Rob Kim/Getty ImagesRussell Brand is blasting Fox News after host Jeanine Pirro recently went on a controversial rant about Iraq and the U.S's response to the growing threat of the Islamic militant group ISIS within the country.
On her show Justice With Judge Jeanine, the legal expert criticized President Barack Obama's decision to send several hundred military experts to Iraq and went so far as to label Iraq's neighboring country Iran "the devil."
"Iran is not the devil and referring to them as such is incendiary and provocative," Brand says in a video posted on YouTube.
Pirro later refers to ISIS as a "fanatical religious terrorist organization." "So is Fox News," Brand said, blasting the conservative news organization. "It's a fanatical terrorist propagandist organization."
"She's worse [than ISIS]," he adds. "She's the savage. She's spouting savage values."
As for Pirro's expert opinion, she said, "Americans have shed enough blood there. My resolution: air strikes. Bomb them! Bomb them! Keep bombing them! Bomb then again and again!"
Brand summarizes Pirro's rant with, "Mostly, it was invective. Just incendiary language, just volatile, combative, angry language. I don't think that's helpful."
"I'm not being just sensational," he concluded. "That is more dangerous than ISIS—that attitude. That's far-reaching. That's affecting millions and millions of people."
