Source Claims Fox News Host Secretly Worked to Get Jeanine Pirro Suspended to Curry Favor With Dems
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com ^ | March 18, 2019 | Kristin Taylor

A source with intimate knowledge of the situation is claiming two Fox News hosts secretly maneuvered to get Judge Jeanine Pirro suspended over her controversial remarks about Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), with one, Bret Baier, allegedly seeking to curry favor with Democrats to reverse a decision to not allow Fox to host any of the party’s presidential primary debates by getting Fox to suspend Pirro.

The source asked TGP for anonymity to speak freely about the behinds the scenes maneuvers:

The original complaint came from Bret Baier’s team. Bret saw an opportunity to make Fox News acceptable enough to the left, so he could get himself a job of hosting the Democratic Debates. Bret supported one of his producers, Hufsa Kamal, in tweeting out a condemnation of Judge Jeanine to put pressure on Fox News to suspend her show. Hufsa Kamal, a producer of Special Report with Bret Baier, has a history of anti-conservative tweets.

Shepard Smith, known as a “never-Trumper”, also played a major role in the Judge’s suspension. “He lobbied 24/7 to suspend her.”

Fox News placed Jerry Andrews, a far-left, anti-conservative as Executive Producer of Justice with Judge Jeanine to “muzzle Judge Jeanine from speaking the truth.” Andrews has a long history of anti-conservative, anti-Trump social media activity.

Fox News has made no official statement on Pirro’s future with the cable network, other than to say it would not comment on “internal scheduling matters,” as the network abruptly pulled her regularly scheduled Justice with Judge Jeanine show last Saturday night and has apparently canceled this upcoming Saturday’s show. Anonymous sources have filled in TGP and other outlets reputed backstabbing maneuvering against Pirro.

Fox’s silence shows a lack of commitment to return Pirro to the air.

On Monday, Fox announced it was hiring former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile as a Fox News Contributor. When she worked for CNN in 2016, Brazile was busted for secretly feeding Hillary Clinton debate questions.

Anonymous sources at Fox relayed to reporters at CNN and the New York Times on Sunday that Pirro has been suspended for two weeks for her comments about Omar and a possible conflict between her adherence to Shariah Law, as represented by her wearing a hijab, and her oath to defend the Constitution. The context of Pirro’s comments was the roots of Omar’s anti-Semitism and what it means for the future of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democratic Party.

Actually, long time Freepers tend to give an ear to Kristann.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this is true.

Would not surprise me.

But this blog is nothing more than clickbait.

Ch 347 on Direct TV. Too bad you don’t get it, its very relaxing news. No vitriol like CNN.

for her to be such a prominent authority at FR, there seems to be significant disagreement about what her name is.

Stop watching FOX the day they hired Geraldo. My decision to do so has only been reinforced on a regular basis with the antics of their “news” anchors and other pundits that are given far too much time to denigrate my beliefs.

OAN is on Direct TV. Straight news, no spin. They do lots of reports we don’t hear on the MSM. I left DISH as they won’t carry OAN.

I watch FoxBusiness. Liz is my favorite.........I have NEVER been able to stand Baier. He has the personality of a wet noodle and I think he’s ugly as a mud fence. I hope the Judge leaves that shytehole of a network and gets a gig with something like OAN or at Justice as a prosecutor after she demands a boat load of a severence from the network!!

How much is true? We need to look into this and see if this is a factor in the control of “Never Trumpers” at FOX News.

the site name is slightly different than anyone would expect.

on line it is https://www.oann.com/

I would suggest that everyone at least takes a look at OAN.
They do good reporting and excellent investigating.

Make up your own mind.

Whether you like the source or not, do you not find the story eminently believable? I certainly do.
