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.”

We never had 60 votes in the Senate

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

Yes, that was an impediment. But back to the House, Ryan and his loyalists (all of whom the GOP allowed to stay in their positions of leadership) refused to do anything meaningful on immigration reform, obstructed many of the investigations into Democrat corruption and criminality, resisted construction of the wall, and did nothing to slow down the rate of government spending.

In large part, because of these and other failures the Democrats were able to make big gains in the House in the 2018 midterms.

Mitch and company are not exactly champions of Trump’s agenda either. Bottom line is that Republicans don’t really try to represent us. They represent K street instead and are always too willing to appease their Democrat colleagues.

Excellent time to start a new conservative network, The Truth Network.

Fox News signals their submission.

Islam means submission.

They mean for us all to submit.

“FOX news went weak some time ago!!”

It started when the old man turned it over to his sons. Then they systematically went after Ailes and O’reilly with the help of vicious, gold digging babes like Carlson and Kelly. I’m convinced the stress of it all led to Aile’s untimely death. Fox is filthy.

We never had 60 votes in the Senate

The house sent stuff across to the senate where it died because there were never the votes to prevail


Yet Democrats always seem to find 60 votes for their pet projects. Planned parenthood, NPR, etc. Why is that? Don’t buy the “we don’t have 60 votes” beltway theater flim flam from the GOP. The GOP don’t want 60 votes in many cases. We’re being lied to. It’s that simple.

Sorry to the few on FBN, and FOX we do like. We are outta here when it comes to FNC. This IS the final straw. Cord cutting next, but only if OANN pisses us off.

“Sharia Law is the only law for Muslims.”

And these Muzzie wymyn are too stupid to realize that if there truly was sharia law, they wouldn’t be allowed to leave their houses, let alone run for public office.

A Moslem is a Moslem, first and always!

Moslems are loyal only to Mohammed and the Koran – they may give lip service to the Constitution and the laws of the United States, in order to serve their purpose, but it is a 100% lie!

Therefore it should be illegal for a Moslem to serve as an elected official in the USA because Islam allows absolutely no other loyalty; any argument to the contrary is absolute fraud.

Pirro simply used Jew-hater Ilhan Omar’s (D-Somalia/ISIS) words/reasoning. Pirro was just asking questions. Just opening a discussion. How is that different from the left’s favorite “skinny” Jew-hater? Are we supposed to let only Somalians/Muslim Jew-haters open dialogues, or ask questions?

“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.”

If one calls oneself muslim, and DOES support the constitution, one is APOSTATE!!!!! That is the way it is. islam has NOT gone through a reformation and is unrepentant in it’s primacy over “infidel” government.

This whole gymkhana is a way of furthering the shift of the Overton Window with regards to muslims in government positions.
