The Fox News Channel has suspended Jeanine Pirro’s weekly program —Justice with Judge Jeanine — in response to the conservative host’s recent remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) use of a hijab, according to a report.
CNN Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter reported Sunday that Pirro’s show was suspended for two weeks, noting that while she may be in the “penalty box,” she has not been fired from the network. Fox News aired a repeat episode of its documentary series Scandalous on Saturday instead of Justice with Judge Jeanine. When asked why Pirro would not appear on air, a Fox News spokesperson told Deadline it would not comment on “internal scheduling matters.”
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?”

And Judge Pirro should debut her return with a repeat of the question, "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?"
We deserve this discussion and serious answer.
At least it is just temporary and she will be back.
Yep, she was suspended for telling the truth.
I agree with you...she should repeat the question when she comes back.
But they have hired Donna Brazile (Gag Me)
Yup...I think between the president & the rest of us yelling she will be back.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they were going to quietly fire here hence no announcement last week.
must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true....
....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!
And the president has re-tweet lots related to this.
Fox needs to re-instate Judge Pirro now!
She ought to tell Fox to go pound sand. Or Carlson and Hannity ought to demand her immediate return or they walk as well.
Doesn't anybody have anyone's back anymore? Omar needs to eat shit and Pirro needs to come back tonight with a groveling apology from Fox execs.
Sick coincidence. Hiring Brazile might be a step toward getting Democrat debates.
Who made the call? Who suspended her?
FOXSUX
Agreed. Looks like the others at Fox scurried off to their safe spaces.
I can’t boycott. I already don’t watch.
They oughta have Judge Jeanine and Crooked Donna debate the issues. The latter would get royally shredded and then of course call it racist.
The truth will not be tolerated at FOX News!
There is no requirement to wear a hijab.
The Saudi’s..... i.e. the owners
Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson regularly talk about Sharia Law, yet they were NOT suspended, but Judge Jeanine mentions it along with Jew hater Omar and she gets suspended for two weeks..UTTER BS..seriously what the bloody hell has happened to Fox News they have gone into the gutter
That’s why they did it, sucking up to the Dem main cheater in order to get the commie debates on Fox
I often stream it, listen to The Five though less and less as Juan Williams is insufferable. Gutfield should dump him from the show. And I like Tucker. The rest, not so much. Fox is ruining their network with hires like Williams, Smith, Brazile, etc.
It was a question, a completely reasonable question presented in a completely reasonable way.
I still want to hear the answer.
