Jeanine Pirro was off the air at Fox News today, a week after she made Islamophobic comments, but the network isn't saying if she's suspended
Last Saturday night Pirro questioned whether Omar's Islamic religious beliefs stand in opposition to the US Constitution, prompting Fox to say"we strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro's comments."The network said at the time that the views Pirro expressed"do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly" — but declined to say if she was being sanctioned in any way.
Among many other critics, a Fox News staffer pushed back on Pirro's statements. Hufsa Kamal, a producer on Fox's"Special Report with Bret Baier," 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."When Fox condemned Pirro, she also issued a statement. She did not apologize.
