NEW YORK — The apparent suspension of Jeanine Pirro is squeezing Fox News Channel in two directions.
A prominent Muslim-American civil rights organization is calling for advertisers to boycott Fox News, while another group is petitioning to have the weekend host reinstated.
Pirro wasn’t on the air Saturday, a week after Fox publicly condemned her for comments questioning U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar’s loyalty because she wears a Muslim head covering. Fox hasn’t explained the former New York-area district attorney’s absence, declining to comment on “internal scheduling matters.”
The network’s schedule for the upcoming weekend lists another program in Pirro’s time slot.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights organization, this week said that advertisers should boycott Fox News until Pirro and prime-time host Tucker Carlson were fired. Carlson has been fighting back since being criticized last week for comments made on a radio show a decade ago and unearthed last week.
Meanwhile, the lobbying group Act for America urged its members write to Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott to complain about Pirro’s absence. In its online message, Act for America said that instead of rewarding its anchor for opening a much-needed debate, “Fox News caved to pressure from the radical left.”
“Jeanine Pirro did nothing wrong,” the group’s leader, Brigitte Gabriel, said via tweet. “People should be outraged.”

Nappy is queer too?
CAIR is Hamas, Hamas is controlled by Iran.
I have, too!
Odd the story doesn't mention the context, which was the Mooslim Rep's questioning Jews' loyalty because Israel exists.
Email’s hitting Faux News is working.
They already did. And it ain't ours.
They are owned by a Saudi muslim ......don’t hold your breath...just turn it off. They have screwed the pooch, big time.
If they can Pirro I have no use for faux.
NO FAUX NEWS!
It cant’ be working too well. Fox News just placed “Trump Hater” Paul Ryan on their Board of Directors. If Fox thinks that Paul Ryan is going to keep them afloat, they are either smoking way too much reefer or, they are drunk excessively or, maybe they just have gone insane!! What idiots....if they have any brains at all, they will bring the the Judge, Jeanine Pirro back on TV this weekend...period!!!
CAIR is like a piñata filled with toys and candy.
The left-leaning media can bind up the wounds after the right-leaning commentators whack on CAIR’s hide.
CAIR is a ready-made dance partner for the 6 o’clock news.
Everyone is afraid to call them out as a bad actor and dangerous organization. Shame.
meanwhile, FakeNewsMSM spews hate & lies and incites violence againt President Trump and those who worked for him, or voted for him, and nothing happens!
A number of people keep promoting OANN but reality is that few, very few people, have access to it. Besides, the few times I have managed to watch it, it was wooden and lame. Politics isn’t everything.
She would make a tremendous kicking butt and taking names type of U.N. ambassador, but I think she'd be wasted on that bunch of goat humpers. I think she could reach more people on a reputable network---which obviously isn't Fox. Any network which would trade Pirro's razor sharp commentaries for a corrupt lying piece of garbage like Donna Brazile and a corrupt lying piece of dog poop like Ryan deserves to fold.
OANN is a lot like the original CNN. Constant news that rolls over and repeats. It isn’t a very ‘sticky’ site. I wouldn’t watch it more than half an hour at a time.
“Nappy is queer too?”
Oh, yes. His “long-time partner” passed away not too long ago.
