Judge Jeanine is right — Fox News is wrong

By M. Catharine Evans, AMERICAN THINKER

Fox’s newest fan is a Jew-hating member of Congress. Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is extremely grateful that Fox defended her and punished Judge Jeanine Pirro for asking a legitimate question.

On Saturday, Fox suddenly cancelled Pirro’s highly rated weekly show “Justice with Judge Jeanine.”

After “Justice” failed to appear on Fox’s upcoming weekend schedule, a spokesperson for the network refused to comment on “internal scheduling matters,” according to USA Today.

In a statement following Judge Jeanine’s opening remarks on March 9 , Fox News  “strongly condemned” Pirro’s comments about Muslim Rep. Omar.  A Muslim Fox News associate producer, Hufsa Kamal Khan, also called out Pirro asking her to stop “spreading the false narrative” that Muslim women wearing a hijab “aren’t American enough.”

The funny thing is the judge’s logical examination of the origin of Omar’s anti-Semitic statements was neither bigoted, nor false, nor inciteful.

She asked a valid question.

Think about this. She’s [Omar] not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party. So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from? Think about it.

Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Why does the never-ending call for “dialogue” between non-Muslims and Muslims in this country exclude asking Jeanine’s hard question relating to possible conflicts between a Muslim congresswoman’s fidelity to Islamic teachings and the Constitution? As a salaried representative of the American people, Congresswoman Omar should be able to answer the following with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no:’ ‘Are you an American or a Muslim first?’

In September, 2017, Senator Dianne Feinstein, a far-left member of Omar’s Democratic Party, essentially grilled a Catholic conservative judicial nominee, Amy Coney Barrett. at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about this very issue.

From NC Register:

You are controversial,” Feinstein declared. “You have a long history of believing that your religious beliefs should prevail. When you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you, And that’s of concern when you come to big issues that large numbers of people have fought for years in this country.”

“The dogma lives loudly” in a Catholic judicial nominee but not in a Muslim congresswoman?

If Feinstein’s interrogation of Barrett is the Democrat Party’s standard for determining whether a government official’s faith-based convictions will prevent them from upholding the Constitution, then Rep. Omar’s fealty to the tenets of Islam is fair game.

As the host of a “free forum” which debates topics with politicians and pundits from across the political spectrum, Jeanine’s inquisitive argumentation is truly within her job description.

Fox’s censorship of Judge Jeanine over a genuine analysis and probing into Omar’s anti-Semitic comments  puts them in the same league as other networks and social media giants who allow open criticism of Christianity and Judaism while suppressing any cynical commentary concerning Islam.

Predictably, conservative threads reveal that Fox is in serious trouble with its viewers.

When the popular Judge Jeanine gets removed from her show for confronting Jew hatred by an elected representative,  yet Omar, who had to delete anti-Semitic tweets, and who is coddled by an Islamic extremist organization known as CAIR, gets an apology, something is insanely upside down over at Fox.

Fox News pulls Judge Jeanine Pirro off the air – for now, at least

The outrage industry has claimed a temporary victory at Fox News, or so it seems. With no explanation, the suits at the nation’s leading cable news outlet pulled Saturday night’s episode of Justice with Judge Jeanine off the air with no explanation. However, as Stephen Battaglio of the Los Angeles Times infers, it is pretty obvious what this must be all about:

…the switch appears to be related to Pirro’s March 9 comment about Rep. Ilhan Omar ( D-Minn.), who wears a hijab, a traditional head covering worn by Muslim women.

“Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?” Pirro said in the scripted opening of her March 9 program that dealt with Omar, a popular target of conservative pundits since she entered Congress.  (snip)

Fox News, which typically stands by its hosts when they make controversial statements, issued a public rebuke of Pirro over the comments about Omar.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” Fox News said in a statement. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”

At least four advertisers — personal finance company NerdWallet, online marketplace Letgo and drugmakers Allergan and NovoNordisk — have said they have suspended their sponsorship of Pirro’s program due to her remarks about Omar.

This move seems to confirm Richard Baehr’s grim assessment that the slaughter of Muslims in New Zealand has changed the momentum of American politics, putting concerns about Jew-hatred in the back seat (or maybe the trunk), while “Islamophobia” acrtivists sit in the driver’s seat, turning us left.

I certainly hope that Fox News will not be bullied into cancelling Judge Pirro’s show entirely, though I fear that massive pressure is being brought upon them, via threats of advertiser boycotts, to do just that. She brings a unique brand of exuberant frankness to her reviews of the week and her interviews.

  1. I no longer count Fox as a network worth watching. I get enough BS from the rest of the MSM. For now, Breitbart is about all that’s left.

  2. The Islamists are using the promise socialistic paradise to get elected as Democrats to Congress with a side of hostile takeover for the purpose of stealth jihadi purposes of replacing, with Sharia law, the Democratic Common law we’ve lived under the umbrella of our Constitution the nation was founded on and they “ostensibly took an oath of office for to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The three musketeers that just got elected should be a warning to everybody- there’s no reason to believe they can’t be re-elected consistently in their current Congressional districts. Add a few more on every two years and before you know it they have a considerable voting block that will ostensibly be fighting for “America’s” socialism and social justice duping (maybe not)their constituents but really gaining the power, through sheer numbers, to implement the true agenda to undermine that very Constitution and dismantle the country’s check and balances thus allowing, using what in psychoanalytic circles would be referred to as the power tactics of Jesus Christ to gain hold of the masses, get their votes permanently and, then demographically push and perhaps pass congressional legislation liberalizing the courts to allow for the consideration, or steady infiltration, of Sharia Law in what would be classic “the foot in the door technique” of slowing manipulating and seizing control decreasing the constitutionality of the courts with more and more Sharia acceptance and personalization in the courts until Constitutional law is considered outdated, no longer progressive enough or possibly just not sacred or even relevant anymore and nobody will know what happened. Keith Ellison said that Judge Gorsusch was just doing what his “paymasters” told him- an example of the foot in the door method where here he tries to delegitimize a storied federal court judge, chipping away at our constitution by trying to make us question Gorsudch himself too, a staunch symbol if nothing else of the constitutionality of America, by the random, simple name-calling accusatory notion that he, like Jewish Congressmen and apparently Americans in general who Omar claims inherently must have dual loyalties to the State of Israel, cannot think for themselves and need people like Muslim-Brotherhood affiliated congressmen like Keith Ellison and now Ilhan Omar to straighten them out because Gorsusch’s law school was a sham and most Americans wake everyday defending Israel and really don’t care much about their own freedoms or free speech in America. If ever an example of what should be the penultimate example of “the pot calling the kettle black”-this is it. Nothing like what I call “Smiling in the service of Jihad”(Capital J- because they mean it). You’ll be caught in a trap where you can argue your case for the right of freedom of speech or expression to draw cartons certain Muslims find offensive to a lot easier than fighing the subliminal use of our very freedoms to undermine and supplant them (slowly, but surely, with Sharia compliance) You’ll be defensiveless and ultimately defeated because you won’t know what happened or what hit you until it’s too late. Maybe someone(and I don’t mean maybe) should ask Omar whether all Muslims in America have inherent dual loyalty to nationless jihad and Sharia Law (because their Koran says so) and therefore need to recuse themselves from the American political process.

  3. For the record-I witnessed it- ON 9/11. Which unfortunately happened to also be my parent’s anniversary. That didn’t help either.

  4. Of course Muslim Americans are American enough. They just dance on streets like Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn across the river while the Towers came tumbling down. It’s not the Hijab, people-it’s the Jihad. My struggle is trying to explain that.

  5. There is one topic, and only one, that is prohibited from being discussed in public. That topic is Islam. Even conservatives will not touch it. Judge Jeanine was only timidly posing a question which should be discussed, but she did not actually discuss it. Even that was too much for Fox. Don’t forget that Fox’s parent corporation is owned partly by the Saudis who will permit discussion of “islamism” and The Muslim Brotherhood, but they will not permit discussion of Islam, the Koran, Sharia law, or Muhammad. It is up to the rest of us to use social media as much as possible to expose the wicked jihadist doctrines of Islam.
