Judge Jeanine Pirro saw her show canceled on Saturday night after comments she made about freshman Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN).
Many millions of Americans, including President Trump, were not pleased.
Now, Fox News has delivered another blow to Pirro.
They’ve already canceled her show for NEXT Saturday, too.
In fact, it looks like Pirro might’ve been suspended.
Check out the pictures below showing Fox News’s lineup. Notice there’s nothing about Pirro on Saturday, 3/23?
About the suspension:
—@brianstelter reports, per a source, that Fox News suspended @JudgeJeanine for two weeks following her comments on @IlhanMN. (Hence why she wasn’t on air last night.)

President Trump commented on Fox News pulling Pirro this past Saturday:
Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox …..

….must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true….

….to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous – they all want what you’ve got – NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter. They can’t beat you, you can only beat yourselves!

Here’s what Pirro said about Omar that has some people up in arms…
WATCH:
President Trump was right when he said the democrat party is now the anti-Israel party. Don’t forget Nancy, history has proven over and over when you appease to anti-Semitic sentiment, the worst happens. #OpeningStatement pic.twitter.com/vrnzhcu95o

From Variety:
Fox News Channel replaced tonight’s broadcast of Jeanine Pirro’s weekly program with a repeat episode of its documentary series “Scandalous,” just days after the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news network said it condemned remarks the outspoken host made about Minnesota Democrat Ihan Omar.
[…]
During her broadcast last Saturday, Pirro, a former New York prosecutor, suggested Omar, a Democractic representative, did not respect the law set down by the Constitution of the United States. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution?” Pirro asked.
Was what Pirro said all that bad?
Was there any TRUTH to what Pirro said?
After all, Omar hasn’t exactly been the most “America first” politician the nation has elected, recently.
We’ll just have to wait and see what this means for the judge’s future at the network.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) rushed to the defense of the embattled Omar after she tweeted an anti-Semitic remark.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:
Unlike this President, Rep. @IlhanMN demonstrated a capacity to acknowledge pain & apologize, use the opportunity to learn abt history of antisemitism,+grow from it while clarifying her stance.
I’m also inspired by Jewish leadership who brought her in, not push her out, to heal.

AOC is “proud” of Omar:
Lots of people here proclaiming to be “woke” trying to police communities on what they are/aren’t allowed to be upset by.
I’m proud @IlhanMN raised the issue of lobbyist in politics & equally proud of her sensitivity to communities. Both are possible.

Omar showed no shame after responding to a series of tweets from journalist Glenn Greenwald.
LOOK:
GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy threatens punishment for @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib over their criticisms of Israel. It's stunning how much time US political leaders spend defending a foreign nation even if it means attacking free speech rights of Americans https://t.co/It1fGm1b70
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 10, 2019
Equating @IlhanMN & @RashidaTlaib's criticism of Israel to Steve King's long defense of white supremacy is obscene (McCarthy said it's worse). In the US, we're allowed to criticize our own government: certainly foreign governments. The GOP House Leader's priorities are warped.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) February 10, 2019
Sorry, but you're not going to turn the two first Muslim women to serve in the US Congress into overnight Jew-haters because of their criticisms of Israel. What's actually anti-Semitic is conflating the Government of Israel with Jews, so those of you doing that should stop.

Enter Omar with the anti-Semitic stereotype:
https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1094747501578633216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1094747501578633216&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefederalistpapers.org%2Fopinion%2Fmuslim-rep-omar-shows-no-shame-wildly-anti-semitic-comment
If not immediately obvious, here’s the problem with her tweet:
“It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” Rep. Omar said, a reference to Jewish people and money. A typical antisemitic stereotype.
Omar then retweeted a “hook-nosed” tweet:
@IlhanMN retweeted this comment in response to her "Benjamins" tweet. (She's since deleted it.) pic.twitter.com/kT0VVdOnqS

Reactions:
Congresswoman, do you not realize what you’re saying here or do you not care? https://t.co/fh8a1OWhhz https://t.co/jcCvQuWXdC

Defending Israel from antisemites is “all about the Benjamins”? Really? It’s about money?
Another antisemitic trope for @Ilhan Omar? She’s like an antisemitic pinball machine that spits out old canards as the ball bounces around her brain.
She’s the gift that keeps on giving! https://t.co/w5HWhLqyWd

This is really disappointing, Congresswoman.
It makes me incredibly proud to see you in Congress. I believe you are a good person. Attempts to silence you are shocking and un-American.
But I’m starting to lose faith given your uses of anti-Semitic tropes. Please do better.
— Michael Simon (@mbsimon) February 11, 2019
You are an anti-Semite.

The post Fox News Hits Judge Jeanine With ANOTHER Harsh Blow, Cancels Her Next Show appeared first on Flag And Cross.
cancelled jenine– hmmm that makes it time TO CANCEL FOXNEWS. No more fox news, the new management has crossed the line and NOW IT IS TIME TO ELIMINATE FOX NEWS– CLOSE THEM DOWN. They no longer represent anything worth watching, just another demonrat mouthpiece, RIP fox
I agree 100%. I can’t believe FOX would do this because this is what the other FAKE news stations have been hoping for…FOX ratings should be plummeting like an asteroid going for the sun.
This is a “HUGE” LOSS FOR FOX NEWS. “If it is all true” … It appears we are all going with hear-say from CNN? Yeppi? Anyway, I am sure President Trump has a profound position for a well educated and glamorous woman Like The Good Judge! LOL … Look, friends she don’t need the money. She does the News because she enjoys giving it to the Democrats! LOL … I honestly do not think she is fired? Again, according to CNN? PLEASE? LOL
