CNN’s Reliable Sources has confirmed that Fox News Channel has suspended Jeanine Pirro’s program, Justice with Judge Jeanine, following her widely criticized remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s hijab.
Per Breitbart:
Pirro was met with criticism after appearing to suggest on her program earlier March that Omar wears a hijab in defiance of the Constitution. “Think about this: She’s not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party. So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from?” Pirro said in her opening segment. “Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”
Pirro’s remarks came in response to the freshman congresswoman’s most recent antisemitic outburst, in which she suggested pro-Israel organizations coerce lawmakers into pledging allegiance to a foreign country.
In a statement, Fox News condemned the host’s remarks, saying: “We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.
Fox News released a separate statement from Pirro, who explained her remarks were in no way a suggestion that American Muslims could not be loyal to the country. “I’ve seen a lot of comments about my opening statement from Saturday night’s show and I did not call Rep. Omar un-American. My intention was to ask a question and start a debate, but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution,” she said. “I invite Rep. Omar to come on my show any time to discuss all of the important issues facing America today.”
Responding to further calls for comment, a Fox News spokesperson said the network would not elaborate on “internal scheduling matters.”
Over the weekend, President Donald Trump offered a full-throated defense of embattled hosts Pirro and Tucker Carlson.
….to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous – they all want what you’ve got – NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter. They can’t beat you, you can only beat yourselves!

All have say is that I’m old enough to remember when we had an Un-American activities committee that booted some people out of our country. Maybe it’s time for another one to include the news media including Fox News.
YES!
…it IS another year – this story is from 19 March 2019. American Action News needs to stay current with the stories. Judge Jeanine’s been back on the air for months…
And of course, should never been suspended for making her comments, regardless of WHAT year it was!
DON’T FORGET JUAN WILLIAMS WILL STILL BE THERE!
Fox News is getting very STUPID
Fox news is #1. Leave anchors alone. They are great. Not stupid like all the other channels. Don’t mess things up.
And if I’m not mistaken, Judge Jeanine’s show is one of those at the top of their ratings list! But if the head honchos keep messing with the shows we watch, they will be in the tank with the other liberal, lying media!
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT !
Fox News needs to wake up and remember who made their network what it is!! The great CONSERVATIVE host!! If you keep this nonsense up you’ll be just another CNN !!! I’m a loyal viewer but this keeps up I won’t be!!!
You’ve got it right!
Juan Williams should be the one they let go he’s a Dem lover backs them up no matter what so I guess I’ll have to hope that fox 5 management wakes up maybe I’ll have to find another station to watch like newsmax wait till November
Williams wasn’t so radical before President Trump won the election — he seemed a bit more rational and reasonable. I guess we can count him among the Trump-haters. And I, for one, hit mute when he starts to talk!
I Fox bails on the fair and balanced motif, people will go to Blogs and internet Conservative networks to get some truth! At least our citizens will have access to a conservative viewpoint!
A big loud AMEN to that, Robert — a big loud AMEN!
I don’t tune into FOX anymore since I found OAN, One America News.
I’m going to start watching newsmax I also am disappointed in fox radio also..starting To sound like CNN and I will not watch that nor will I buy any products it’s advertised on that station
UGH!!! D.BRAZILE !! JUAN WILLIAMS , GERALDO, CHRIS WALLACE !!! BUMMER !!! I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO FIND A DIFFERENT NETWORK ???
Absolutely with ya‼️??
I was replying to Robert above! AGREE 100%‼️??
We must stand for our country not the muslims! They are here in OUR country!
They are known to say they will take the West which includes America! They know we know and we are waiting for their move if it comes‼️?? Dems are with Obama and want to take over also! We the People know what’s happening…no surprise what
they are doing! They are corrupt, crooked,
thieves, liars and out for theirselves! They
do not care about America! If they do not
like America the way it is then they ALL

country! We all will answer on Judgement
Day…period!! No matter who you are!

I just read her statement. SO WHAT’S THE BEEF? Did she lie? I don’t think so.
The judge is right so what is the bs about She didn’t lie or anything and that all they do on those other channels
If you want correct honest news, watch OAN (One America News). My family found the channel just by scrolling through our channels and they are the best.
