Report: Fox News Suspends Jeanine Pirro for Two Weeks
Breitbart ^ | March 18, 2019 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 03/18/2019 1:13:06 PM PDT by Reno89519

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?”

Maybe Tucker and Hannity should have her own their Shows EVERY NIGHT for the Entire Hour, until suspension is lifted

Judge Pirro will probably still be able to tell the truth, but instead of saying “Ilhan Omar made the following statement last week,” she can say “A certain Democratic member of Congress made the following statement last week” and then repeat the statement verbatim in all it’s ugliness.

In fact, maybe Judge Pirro can devote a segment of her show to
ugly, foolish statements made the previous week by Democrats, without naming names. Once the Democratic presidential race heats up, the list will be voluminous — a laugh a minute.

It is only temporarily temporary. If she stays back it will be because she has got herself tuned for PC.

I only watch Fox for Tucker & Hannity...and Ingraham to a lesser extend. If these folks get silenced then Fox will hit the gulag with the other fake news channels.

Actually, that could be the stimulus to get rid of cable completely.

Which I suspect is a cave from their first impulse to fire her, so we might consider this a win.

Have all the Freepers written to Fox News Network and express our outrage? If not, then please take the time to do so.

Jeanine’s question was not a case of the hijab being unconstitutional, but rather was Ilhad Omar’s insistence on wearing the head dress a sign of her endorsing sharia law. It was a simple question, and I do not think it was out of order.

Watch Dobbs at 7:00 PM on FBN. It’s the only thing worth it.

There is no requirement to wear a hijab.

IIRC, there is a Congressional Rule that NO ONE can wear any type of HAT during the sessions.

Lesson learned: It’s OK for a Sharia supremacist in Congress to be antisemitic. It’s not OK for someone to merely question it. F Faux news.

I listened to what she said and agree with her 110%. Thought police in full censorship mode.

I’d want to hear it from someone other than CNN’s crackpot, Brian Stelter.

Tucker refers to him a The CNN Eunuch.

Seems right.

A muslim mullah in Australia publically said that women who are not “covered” are “uncovered meat”...”If the cat eats uncovered meat, you cannot blame the cat.”

In Egypt women have an app that warns them of the locations of male harassers. Women who do not wear the hijab are harassed. Lovely culture, let’s bring it here.

Many women in Sweden have been victimized by muslim rapists. Swedish men are not the top rapist it is foreign muslim men.

All this capitulation, back peddling and the total lack of response from the GOP against growing radical Islamic influence, e.g. 'no-go zones,' and the recent outrageous antisemitic remarks by dems in Congress tells me one thing: there is a lot of Arab oil money sloshing around being used to influence our elected officials. It seems as bad as the university bribery scandal. Who else has the billions in idle cash to buy vehicles like this for example?
