UPMC, Dollar Bank withdraw support of St. Barnabas fundraiser over Jeanine Pirro appearance
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | March 22 | Sean D. Hamill

UPMC Health Plan, Dollar Bank and Trib Total Media this week have all withdrawn their support for an April Founder’s Day fundraiser for St. Barnabas Charities after at least one local man asked them if the honoree and speaker at the event, Fox News commentator Jeanine Pirro, “reflect the values of your institution.” Ms. Pirro was strongly criticized after comments she made on her Fox News show, “Justice With Judge Jeanine” on March 9 when she said of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who wears a hijab, a traditional covering worn by Muslim women: “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

This is a retirement community outside of Pittsburgh, PA. They seem to at times have conservative-leaning guests.

Trib Total Media is what’s left of the Richard Mellon-Scaife empire. He’s assumed room temperature and they’ve gone full on Lefty.

So, this healthcare group isn’t okay with Judge Jeanine asking LEGITIMATE questions, nor her right to free speech?

But, let me guess, they’re okay with whatever things have slithered out of Omar’s pie hole....about our country and our President?

Do I have that right?

This is like reading news stories from Nazi Germany or Stalin’s Soviet Union.

How did the pigdog murder-muzzies get so much power in this country? A person’s character is smeared for asking a reasonable question about an enemy combatant?

It’s ruled by chickenshit White people who back down to Muslims and sexual deviants.

Meanwhile, if you hold traditional Christian values, you are unfit for office.

Not yet, but the Democrat party is anti-Israel, anti-Jew and pro-Palestinian, fearing it will be seen as Islamophobic. So the conclusion is the Democrat party is becoming a full blown Islamic political party.

AN outrage——Judge Jannine said NOTHING harmful or inciteful.

That these people are now suppressing our free speech .....controlling our ability to respond to them.....is frightening.

Is it really kowtowing to Muslims or a convenient excuse to suppress Conservative speech?
