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

Posted on 03/11/2019 6:30:01 AM PDT by GIdget2004

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.”

She is un-American and wants to change the US Constitution to Sharia Law.

Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to live in the USA, much less hold any elected office. Fox News will pay a viewership price if they continue to appease islam and condemn the criticism of snakes like Omar.

Yeah, there MIGHT be all of a 33% chance that you do.

I stopped watching Fox News a long time ago. Its too PC. I do, however, continue to watch Fox Business (except for for that whiney and irritating Cavuto guy).

Murdoch newspaper re a story showing on Murdoch’s Sky News Australia today: 1-minute-plus video:

11 March: Hobart Mercury Australia: Hillary Clinton’s campaign chair warns NZ about election hacking
The chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign says New Zealand should be ‘very worried’ about the prospect of election hacking. In a television interview with Newshub, John Podesta warned New Zealand’s election next year is at serious risk of a major cyber attack by Russia or China. During Ms Clinton’s presidential campaign, tens of thousands of Mr Podesta’s emails were hacked by the Russian government, with many believing the release of the emails was a major factor in Ms Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump.

1 March: New Zealand Herald: Former White House adviser John Podesta praises ‘superstar’ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Hillary Clinton’s former presidential campaign manager has labelled Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern a “superstar”.
John Podesta, who was the White House chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a counsellor to President Barack Obama, told Newstalk ZB’s Heather Du Plessis-Allan that Ardern had given hope to social democrats all around the world...
He said the Democrats would be wise to take a leaf out of Ardern’s book...

Podesta also gave his views on United States President Donald Trump, saying he is “completely unfit and unqualified to be President of the United States”.
He said there is a huge amount of division within politics - and Trump was an example of that.
“You see it with the building of the wall. It’s largely a politics of fear and a politics of racism and add to that his misogyny and it’s a toxic mix.”...

Podesta said the real question was who could successfully prosecute a case against him.
However, when asked whether trying to prosecute Trump was the wrong strategy, he said the Democrats were in a tricky position, but they could not ignore criminal acts.
“The Democrats in the House do have some responsibility to make sure the justice system is functional.
“I don’t think people can look the other way from criminal acts.
“His national security adviser, his campaign chairman, his deputy campaign chairman, his senior policy adviser have all pleaded guilty to criminal acts.”...

Translation of the typical text of a prayer recited in Orthodox synagogues:

“He who grants salvation to kings and dominion to rulers, whose kingdom is a kingdom spanning all eternity, who releases David his servant from the evil sword, who places a road in the sea and a path in the mighty waters, may he bless The President, the Vice President, and all the Constituted Officers of Government of this Land.

The King who reigns over Kings in his mercy may he protect them from every trouble, woe, and injury, may he rescue them and put into their hearts and into the hearts of all their councilors compassion to do good with us and with all Israel, our brethren.

In their days and in ours, may Judah be saved and may Israel dwell securely, and may the Redeemer come to Zion. So may it be his will, and let us say: Amen.”

Would Fox News care to comment about the Jew-hating, Farrakhan-loving bigot?

America circles closer down the drain.

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

Our national decline is accelerating apace. Its just a sad reality.

The Republican “majority” in congress could have helped to reverse it over the last two years but they did absolutely nothing. In fact, they did everything they could to resist the president and keep him from achieving the objectives the party base voted for. Shame on them.

Now its up to US to stand up to those who want to bring the country down. We have to expose their treachery, stop their power grabs, and fight them at every opportunity. We are left with no other choice.

Agreed, Pansy Paul and his ilk were as bad as the libs and leftist's.
