Fox News in a statement on Sunday condemned host Jeanine Pirro’s controversial comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.)
Pirro set off a wave of backlash after the comments on her Saturday night show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” that appeared to suggest Omar is loyal to Sharia law because she wears a hijab.
“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” Fox News said. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”
Pirro in her own statement also pushed back on the criticism and attempted to clarify her comments.
“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,” Pirro said.
“My intention was to ask a question and start a debate, but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution.”

Actually according to Islam Sharia Law is for every person in the world. Not for Muslims only. Where did you get the idea it was limited to just them?
I meant that in the opinion of Muslims, there is no law for anyone except Sharia. It is inconceivable that a Muslim would allow anyone to live under the US Constitution. They would replace that with Sharia because Sharia is the only law.
Apparently the only people you can criticize and get away with it are white Christians.
Fox has been bleeding viewers. This will only accelerate it.
“but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution.”
BS. Islam and the constitution are polar opposites.
“For starters, it’s important to note the Disney-Fox deal isn’t a total takeover. Mickey Mouse is not acquiring Fox Broadcasting Company (a.k.a the broadcast channel), Fox News, Fox Sports, or the Fox Television Stations Group, all of which will be spun off into a new company called Fox Corporation. “
> “Yet Democrats always seem to find 60 votes for their pet projects. Planned parenthood, NPR, etc. Why is that? “
$$$
Kickbacks.
Well known when vote $$$ for PP, get campaign donation in return.
Racket. Corruption.
The leftist swing of Faux Snooze is as apparent as the Just For Men Judge Nap applies to his hair. Blame anyone you care to but ANY association with Disney is poison for anyone/anything on the political right.
Yep.
I don’t care what she said! I support Judge Jeannine. Period
I will say it for Pirro.
Omar IS un-American.
SCREW FOX!
“Sharia Law is the only law for Muslims. There is nothing else. No secular authority.”
IIRC, several articles have been posted here on FR with stories of courts in the U.S. showing deference to Sharia law when Muslims are involved. It is creeping in to our society and soon it won’t only be for Muslims, I fear.
Oh puhlease! Pirro asked a legitimate question!
Give me a break!
“Muslims are threatening people behind the scenes, so this is the type of nonsense we’re getting.”
Wow! Wish Muslims would threaten me. No telling where the conversation might go.
Fox News sucks. Why anyone would watch their muddied drivel and leftist lite programming astounds me. They need to die, be made extinct.
No, thanks. I won’t be abandoning Fox, which leaves the field to CNN, MSNBC, the NYT and the rest of leftism.
It’s part and parcel of sticking by Trump through thick and thin. Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water.
So if I wrap my skull in a rag soaked in goat urine and live in the 5th district of stupid Minnesota, I could be president?
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
No need to wake up. There've been racist paranoids like this person around for a very long time.
Nothing new.
