Fox News in a statement on Sunday condemned host Jeanine Pirro’s controversial comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)
Pirro set off a wave of backlash after the comments on her Saturday night show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” that appeared to suggest Omar is loyal to Sharia law because she wears a hijab.
“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” Fox News said. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”
Pirro in her own statement also pushed back on the criticism and attempted to clarify her comments.
“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,” Pirro said.
“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.”

And, America circles closer down the drain.
FU Fox ‘news’
Don’t apologize Judge J.
Tell fox to shove it
Visited Mpls lately ?
I think that there are plenty of questions about Omar. God forbid anyone asks one.
She’s already attempted o “clarify” it as just trying to start a discussion. She caved.
Omar the anti-Semite and bigot but Pirro has to apologize for calling her on it.
Muslims are threatening people behind the scenes, so this is the type of nonsense we’re getting.
Judge Jeanine, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Fox & Friends crew, ... leave Fox News and join One America News.
Fox has turned the corner. They don’t want you. They don’t deserve you.
No. This is wrong on its face. Sharia Law is the only law for Muslims. There is nothing else. No secular authority.
Getting to where you can’t even point out an America hating communist incestuous terrorist supporter these days.
wow, doesn’t take much now to rattle fox news’s cage. Just enough time for the socialists to have them denouncing Trump by election 2020.
Judge Jeanine do not back down. Never apologize never. Fox news needs you you do not need them. What are they going to to put judge Nap in your place? Fox news is getting more and more isolated go ahead offend Judge Jeanine‘s friends!
“...that appeared to suggest Omar is loyal to Sharia law because she wears a hijab.”
Not incorrect.
"Wave of backlash" = a few people on Twitter.
Suicide of America is close at hand.
tsk tsk...go Jeanine!
