A source with intimate knowledge of the situation is claiming two Fox News hosts secretly maneuvered to get Judge Jeanine Pirro suspended over her controversial remarks about Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), with one, Bret Baier, allegedly seeking to curry favor with Democrats to reverse a decision to not allow Fox to host any of the party’s presidential primary debates by getting Fox to suspend Pirro.
The source asked TGP for anonymity to speak freely about the behinds the scenes maneuvers:
The original complaint came from Bret Baier’s team. Bret saw an opportunity to make Fox News acceptable enough to the left, so he could get himself a job of hosting the Democratic Debates. Bret supported one of his producers, Hufsa Kamal, in tweeting out a condemnation of Judge Jeanine to put pressure on Fox News to suspend her show. Hufsa Kamal, a producer of Special Report with Bret Baier, has a history of anti-conservative tweets.
Shepard Smith, known as a “never-Trumper”, also played a major role in the Judge’s suspension. “He lobbied 24/7 to suspend her.”
Fox News placed Jerry Andrews, a far-left, anti-conservative as Executive Producer of Justice with Judge Jeanine to “muzzle Judge Jeanine from speaking the truth.” Andrews has a long history of anti-conservative, anti-Trump social media activity.
Fox News has made no official statement on Pirro’s future with the cable network, other than to say it would not comment on “internal scheduling matters,” as the network abruptly pulled her regularly scheduled Justice with Judge Jeanine show last Saturday night and has apparently canceled this upcoming Saturday’s show. Anonymous sources have filled in TGP and other outlets reputed backstabbing maneuvering against Pirro.
Fox’s silence shows a lack of commitment to return Pirro to the air.
On Monday, Fox announced it was hiring former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile as a Fox News Contributor. When she worked for CNN in 2016, Brazile was busted for secretly feeding Hillary Clinton debate questions.
Anonymous sources at Fox relayed to reporters at CNN and the New York Times on Sunday that Pirro has been suspended for two weeks for her comments about Omar and a possible conflict between her adherence to Shariah Law, as represented by her wearing a hijab, and her oath to defend the Constitution. The context of Pirro’s comments was the roots of Omar’s anti-Semitism and what it means for the future of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democratic Party.
if the silly blog says it, it must be true.
wait. if the silly blog says it, citing only anonymous “sources”, then it must be true.
Jeanie, go to OAN, its going to grow.
None of this would surprise me in the least!
She’s already at the #1 cable network, not just the top news network. And she just won.
If fox had any balls they would have passed a resolution not naming Pirro, that condemned all bigotry.
Bret do you really want to be on the wrong side of the judge? What a fool.
I will not watch Baier or Smith. They played dirty on this matter. Shame on them both and shame on Fox news for tolerating such partisan behavior.
Muslim FOX News Producer Who Called Out Judge Jeanine has Twitter Account Littered with Vile Attacks on Conservatives
FOX News released the statement after FOX producer Hufsa Kamal, a Pakistani-American, tweeted her disgust against Judge Jeanine Pirro on Sunday.
Mufsa Kamal tweeted:
@JudgeJeanine can you stop spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America or women who wear a hijab aren’t American enough? You have Muslims working at the same network you do, including myself. K thx.
— Hufsa Kamal (@hufkat) March 10, 2019
Mufsa’s remarks made it into a report on The Hill. Mufsa inserted herself into the story.
Now it appears Hufsa Kamal, who is a producer for Bret Baier on FOX News, has a long history of vicious attacks on conservatives.
Hufsa has attacked Michelle Malkin, Candace Owens, Dan Bongino and Charlie Kirk.
I tried to go to OAN but got “site unavailable”.
I watch the FOX Bus channel hosted by Elizabeth MacDonald when Baier is on FOX News. I haven’t watched Baier since he showed his true colors during the Republican primary debates in 2016. Baier would be perfect for CNN, MSNBC, or ABC. The Fox Business channel is much better and you don’t have to press the remote when the Great Lou Dobbs follows MacDonald.
Shep's role in this wouldn't surprise anyone.
Bret Baier possible.
Hiring former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile as a Fox News Contributor is flat-out effort by FOX to curry favor with the liberals, no question.
The few truly good and conservatives at that network should make a deal with OAN, Newsmax, and other conservative news outlets then give their 2 week notice at FOX en masse.
Fox hiring Donna Brazile fits this claim better than suspending Pirro, so it must be triple true. Donna’s presence would reassure the Dem’s that Fox can a rig a debate just as well as their regular DNC networks.
I’ve always suspected Baier was a democrat. Last year when his sodomite buddy Guy Benson ‘married” his butt buddy, Baier sent him a Tweet congratulating him on his “marriage.” I told my wife my suspicions about him were right that he was a liberal democrat.
I don’t watch them anyway and now will NEVER watch them.
RE: to Curry Favor With Dems
What is the point of doing that?
The reason why Fox became popular is because they are NOT perceived as a Democrat mouthpiece. Now, they want to destroy that perception?
Is one of the Murdoch boys seeing Hufsa Kamal on the side that she has so much influence?
