Fox News condemns Pirro's remarks about Omar
The Hill ^ | 03/11/2019 | Avery Anapol

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.”

...appeared to suggest Omar is loyal to Sharia law because she wears a hijab.

Almost like suggesting a person is Christian because they're wearing a cross...

The death of common sense. Is it not reasonable to think that a Jew who always wears a yarmulka is more likely to follow the laws of his religious than one who does not?

Why not? She surely is.

That beeping sound you hear is the truck backing up.

It is interesting that Omar can question people’s loyalty to America because they support Israel but you can’t question this shrews loyalty because she adheres to a 6th century barbarian war lords brutal edict of wear a hajab or be raped?

Is she not? If she is, she can’t be loyal to the Constitution.

Does anyone seriously believe that Fox will have Tucker Carlson,s back? They will allow the left to systematically take out all the conservatives on Fox.

Before the next election, Fox will have a purge of anyone who’s not a Democrat stooge.

FNC joined the enemedia a while ago.

Now they’re being bald-faced about it.

This is how the Left operates: Their agitators say and do outrageous, disrespectful and inflamatory things. Then when sensible people stand up to their aggression and defend their principles the Left accuses THEM of being reactionaries or intolerant racists.

Its a tactic designed to provoke and then blame the target. Radicals do this all the time.

Back? I hadn’t heard that he was fired. He will stand up to them like Hannity did.

Sorry, I mistakenly put in a comma instead of an apostrophy. I meant that they would not have Carlson’s back (supporting him).

Judge Jeanine, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Fox & Friends crew, ... leave Fox News and join One America News. Fox has turned the corner. They don’t want you. They don’t deserve you.

*************

In much the same vein, if I may paraphrase your comment....conservatives should leave the Republican Party and start a new one. The GOP has turned the corner and doesn’t want us. They don’t deserve us.
