She suggested that the Minnesota Democrat supports Sharia Law in defiance of the Constitution.
Fox News on Sunday night denounced remarks by host Jeanine Pirro this weekend suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar supports Sharia law in defiance of the U.S. Constitution because she wears a hijab.
“She’s 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?” Pirro said. “Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59 tells women to cover so they won’t get molested. Pirro did not apologize in a statement Sunday night, insisting: "I did not call Rep. Omar un-American."
Pirro’s remarks were swiftly rebuked Sunday on social media, with Bret Stephens, the conservative New York Times columnist, calling her “a disgrace” in a“Ilhan Omar’s right to wear hijab in accordance with her religious convictions is as constitutional as an Orthodox Jewish woman's right to wear a sheitel,” Stephens wrote. “Anything less is un-American.”
