Jeanine Pirro only said that wearing a hijab was unconstitutional and un-American, not that Rep. Ilhan Omar was un-American because she wears a hijab. See the difference?
Pirro’s argument was ridiculous. – like arguing that because someone wears a cross they believe that Biblical rules should be imposed on everyone and that this is clearly unconstitutional because said rules call for putting witches to death.
It’s the old Goldilocks line they’re trying to walk here. You don’t want to be insufficiently hateful and inflammatory, but neither do you want to be overly hateful and inflammatory. You want to be just hateful and inflammatory enough.
Pirro’s actual ‘apology’ - I’m sorry I got myself into trouble with my paymaster. It wasn’t my intention to offend the boss.
“Fox News denounced comments made by host Jeanine Pirro over the weekend…”
They strongly condemn it in public, and offered a raise in private. Until they take her off the air I don’t believe they’re troubled at all.
Why does it seem that the people who talk the most about the constitution are the ones who, apparently, have never read it?
Fox News denounced comments made by host Jeanine Pirro
I’m a little verklempt. I’m sorry. Talk amongst yourselves.
True about the Bible as well, not to mention certain other classics.
Does Judge Jeanine lead an underground, hamster-sacrificing Nazi cult?
Just asking a question to start a debate. I invite her to clarify.
I’ll bet she feels EXACTLY THE SAME about men wearing a Yarmulke too (not!)
Pirro is a bottom-feeding scum-sucker who is desperate for RATINGS and it is showing.
Her solution is to throw red-meat to the ravening knuckle-draggers who watch her.
Typical.
“I’ve seen a lot of comments about my opening statement from Saturday night’s show and I did not call Rep. Omar un-American,” she said. “My intention was to ask a question and start a debate,
Would anyone like to take a stab at explaining how one starts a debate when you make a statement and you’re the only one sitting there? Did ask any guests to answer her question?
And dear Jeanine if you’re explaining you’re losing.
Shorter FOX: Jeanine Ferris should continue her attacks on these Democrat terrorrists. Our ratings are going thru the roof.
Fox took ED Hill off the air after she said this:
“A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently,” said Hill in her show. “We’ll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says.”
Pirro should go. She’s an angry, divisive person who spreads hate and disinformation. Cecily Strong does a great job imitating her on SNL
The irony is that the argument itself is anti-American.
My favorite:
Pirro was making an argument?
This is standard Faux BS. Ask an inflammatory question without any facts to boost ratings and fool the Trumpsters into belief.
“Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine [hijab] indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”
“I did not call Rep. Omar un-American. My intention was to ask a question and start a debate… I invite Rep. Omar to come on my show any time to discuss all of the important issues facing America today.”
Yeah, that will happen.
I’m not so sure. You do know they want to take away our bacon, right?
