Was Jeanine Pirro's Fox News show cancelled over Ilhan Omar comments?
The Jerusalam Post ^ | March 17, 2018 | Staff

he popular Fox News show Justice with Judge Jeanine with former New York state judge Jeanine Pirro didn't air in its regular Saturday night time slot leading fans, including US President Donald Trump to speculate she was booted off the air due to comments made about Muslim-American Rep. Ilhan Omar.

Pirro, who's top-rated show covers American politics and the Middle East, discussed the firestorm over Omar's anti-Israel rhetoric which many American commentators said bordered on overt antisemitism. (On her March 9 show), Pirro blasted Omar for questioning the loyalty of American Jews to the United States by rhetorically asking if her Muslim faith means she is more loyal to Sharia law than the US constitution. "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?"

Judge Jeanine asked a pivotal question, not our of disrespect but out of caring about truth and facts. It is a fact that Muslims cannot swear to uphold and protect our Constitution...Islam prevents that. Whoever on Fox News fell right into the Islamic trap.....Omar the Muslim over anyone else. How often do we have to see this same venue play out over all other beliefs...Islam NEVER moves aside

I strongly condemn Fox News for condemning Judge Jeanine's comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar.

THIS IS WHAT ISLAM DOES FOX NEWS.....SHAME ON YOU. Judge Jeanine is absolutely correct.

Some are calling it a civil war. I don’t see how. One side is inflicting all of the damage. The other side is bending over and asking for another.

A perfectly reasonable question posed in a perfectly reasonable matter.

The problem is the answer.

You cannot ax questions to an Affirmative Action recipient. Is Tucker still there?

The Saudi ownership at Fox is damaging its independence.

I don’t believe the show has been cancelled. It was likely just a night off. Just like they did with Hannity when he stepped on stage to speak at a Trump rally.

If she has been fired it would have been announced, either by FNC or Pirro. It’s clear FNC’s policy is to not discuss “disciplinary actions” in public. That’s appropriate, IMO.

So, anyone recall a ‘hole’ lot of moose limbs celebrating on 9/11/2001? But don’t dare make a derisive comment about them 17+ years later. F that.

That was the excuse. The real reason is that they were looking for a reason to get rid of her since she is on OUR side, and speaks the truth. She doesn’t bow down in abject submission and mouth leftist dogma.

We are in deep $h!t. One by one, those who speak the truth about *slam are being silenced. Kicked off social media.

Do not underestimate them. They are looking for a way to silence Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, who speak the truth about bearded savagery.

The Jew hatred of the left has had an impact , Judge Janine has been taken out?

Fu_k Fox news. This is the last straw. I will just watch Newsmax from now on.

Judge Janine was absolutely correct about Omar.

Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson must be looking over their shoulders?

And to think that FOX wouldn’t lift a finger to stand up for Christians and now they’re bending over and getting on their knees for islam.

Sickening and to hell with them if they do cancel the judge.

"Yup...the bowing continues"

Maybe this touchiness about Islam is the need to cater to Saudi Arabia. Hence, the dilemma since Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic absolute monarchy based on firm Sharia law.

I strongly Condemn Fox’s news censorship of speech during an Opinion program. Meanwhile the left and their allies pretty much say anything they wish without repercussion. Fox should be repeating Jeanine’s broadcast every few hours.

I suspect it was a combination of her Omar comments and the attack in Christchurch. Christchurch was the top story on every show, and there was no way Fox was going to have Pirro leading a discussion on the attack.

I expect Pirro will be back after a short timeout, but it wouldn’t shock me if they decide to fire her out of political correctness.

The answer is an obvious “Yes!”

So, cancel all cable television, get a good antenna and get OANN for $5/month off of Roku and be done with it.

When you pay for Fox News, you pay for MSNBC and CNN and the other terrible channels, too.

Starve the beast!
