President Donald Trump has joined the burgeoning battle to protect Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro from being censored/silenced by Fox News or even potentially fired.
“Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro,” he tweeted Sunday morning, hours after the judge’s weekly news program, “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” was preempted by an encore of the network’s “Scandalous: The Trial of William Kennedy Smith” docu-series.
“We’re not commenting on internal scheduling matters,” a spokesperson for Fox News said.
“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 NEWS IS SHOT! WE ARE LOSING THE COUNTRY JUST WHAT THE EVIL WANTS! DISGRACE! Where’s Judge Jeanine? Fox News pulls Pirro’s show off air this week after dustup over Omar comments https://t.co/by41Vyb0U3

The campaign against Pirro began after she made allegedly controversial remarks on her program last Saturday about anti-Semitic Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar. She theorized that perhaps the congresswoman’s documented anti-Semitism is a product of her Islamic faith.
In response to backlash from the far-left, which cried “Islamophobia” and demanded Pirro be fired, Fox News issued a statement condemning her and pulled her from its weekend lineup.
The last time Fox News went out of its way to appease the radical left, renowned political commentator and 21-year Fox host Bill O’Reilly wound up without a job.
“Fox must stay strong and fight back with vigor,” Trump’s tweets continued. “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!”

Fellow Fox host Tucker Carlson has also faced calls for his termination over recently unearthed comments he made to a shock jock radio show host years ago. The left has been aiming to knock out Carlson and Fox’s other conservative political commentators for years.
While leftists have aimed their fury at Pirro before — last year they blasted her for describing Democrats as “demon rats” — this past week marks the first time they’ve demanded she be fired:
BREAKING: Judge Jeanine Pirro won’t air this week due to her comments made about Ilhan Omar.
Fox News apparently thinks that preventing her from being racist for a week is enough.
IT IS NOT!

What exactly makes Jeanine Pirro a Judge? Is there a court system within Fox News that she presides over where the more racist and bigoted you are the higher salary you get?! Fire Judge Jeannie!

To answer failed comedian turned CNN contributor Dean Obeidallah’s question, what makes Pirro a judge is the fact that she spent over a decade serving as the first female judge of Westchester County, New York. Obeidallah, who reportedly obtained a law degree from Fordham Law School, has never been a judge. In fact, he’s spent most of his life attempting to be a comedian.
The president’s point Sunday was that Fox News needs to stop capitulating to the demands of the left, especially given the glaring double standards practiced by them and their media allies.
Instead, Fox News needs to start listening to its base, who as the tweets below show are not pleased with how it chose to handle Pirro’s allegedly controversial and offensive remarks:
The left says anything they damn well please, including hateful lies. This double standard must stop!

Yes. Our Country is about free speech! Stop all the political correctness! If someone doesn’t like someone’s comments on TV or elsewhere, they can change the channel, etc.

@FoxNews ms Pirro expressed some opinions re Muslim Congress women that may be objectionable to some; but these comments were TAME compared to other network’s outrag attacks on Pres Trump- including ‘shots’ directed at Fox News for often taking a narrative that supports our Pres

@FoxNews has been great because they aren’t like the other guys until NOW. Now they ARE just like the other guys censuring and pandering to the left. I stand with the judge. To hell with Fox News and that includes Fox Nation.

The Democrat National Committee recently announced that it won’t allow Fox News to host any of its 2020 primary debates. The latter tweeter appeared to be suggesting that the network took action against Pirro to re-earn the committee’s favor.
