It appears that Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro’s Saturday evening show, “Justice w/ Judge Jeanine,” will again be preempted this week by an encore showing of the FNC-produced documentary “Scandalous: The Trial of William Kennedy Smith.”
While this hasn’t been formally confirmed by anyone yet, the “TV Schedule” maintained on Fox News’ website has the documentary listed in Pirro’s usual 9 pm slot.
Look:
What makes Pirro’s abrupt disappearance all the more troubling is that Fox hasn’t formally suspended her. It’s simply removed her from the lineup, and for the second time in two weeks.
Pirro’s nearly two million viewers were left asking “where’s Judge Jeanine?” last Saturday when her program was preempted by the “Scandal” documentary at the last minute.
At the time her fans began speculating whether she may have been fired. Recall what happened to former host Bill O’Reilly after The New York Times ran a piece on him in 2017 revealing that he’d settled a number of sexual harassment lawsuits in court. Fox pulled him off the air and then announced his termination several days later. Could the same thing be happening to Pirro?
Some believe so:
IT IS DEAD! How many of you have stopped watching FOX? The Liberals have infiltrated it: Progressive producers, treasonous people put on Board: Paul Ryan. PROVEN DNC liar & cheater hired: Donna Brazile. Conservatives fired: Bill O’Reilly, Eric Bolling, Judge Jeannine, etc.

Sean. What happened to Judge Jeanine? Is it true a Fox Muslim producer fired her to please the Muslim activist group?

I think that is going to be a constant message for fans that are not happy of Donna Brazille being hired and Judge Jeanie being fired from Fox News. What in the hell is going on there? Especially hiring Brazille? You had to know there was going to be lots of anger for this!?!?

@FoxNews can’t believe you fired the Judge, she is right. That Hijab wearing evil enemy of the U.S., should not be in our government. subtle coo! what you gonna do when she gets the call and blows you all up? Omar is a Treason Est!
Get The Judge back! you’re gonna lose audience.— Kenneth Carneal (@CarnealKenneth) March 22, 2019
@seanhannity Hi Sean, is there any truth that Judge Jeanine got fired from FOX?

Just to be clear, there’s been no confirmation that Pirro’s been suspended or fired.
When reached for comment by TVLine after the first preemption, a Fox spokesperson said, “We’re not commenting on internal scheduling matters.”
The troubles for the former New York prosecutor began after she made allegedly controversial remarks on her program earlier this month about anti-Semitic Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Pirro theorized that perhaps the congresswoman’s anti-Semitism is a product of her Islamic faith.
“This is not who your party is,” Pirro said of the Democrats. “Your party is not anti-Israel. She is. Think about this. [Omar] is 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?”
“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 Islamist doctrine indicative of her adherence to sharia law, which is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution?”
Left-wing critics promptly pounced on the judge afterward, accusing her of spouting Islamophobic rhetoric. Fox took the bait and immediately jumped to condemn Pirro.
Two weeks have since passed and the judge hasn’t been spotted anywhere, be it on Fox News, on Twitter, on Facebook or on Instagram. She’s gone completely radio silent.
Folks are concerned, including the president:
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!

Because of recent decisions by Fox and its parent company, Fox Corporation, including FNC’s hiring of former Democrat National Committee chair Donna Brazile, Fox Corp’s recruitment of widely disliked former House Speaker Paul Ryan and now Pirro’s apparent suspension (or termination?), her fans have begun calling for a boycott:
Interesting information happened of recent by Fox news. Various persons and me included will be removing all Fox content from Facebook, VK, MEWE, GAB, here as Well for the removal of Judge Jeanine of her show. Not big into boycott but they at Fox back the wrong side ???
— SIR HARCONAN (@SHarconan) March 22, 2019
It’s off topic Sir, but…
Will you show solidarity with Judge Jeanine Pirro by boycotting all Fox appearances until she’s reinstated?
Wikipedia has already been altered to state “Pirro WAS the host of Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine…”
Join me in my Fox boycott, Sir? :)
— Glenn Douglas (@woodstockblues) March 22, 2019
Fox stands with CAIR and Black Muslim Brotherhood against Judge Jeanine! Sharia law is against everything our constitution stands for! Boycott Fox, let them know we will not stand for Islam and Sharia law in US as they do.
Watch OAN network! Truthful reporting! ????— ??Daisy?? (@Daisy49103) March 22, 2019
Everyone should BOYCOTT FOX NEWS until they bring back Judge Jeanine! The American people want her back!
— Kari O’Neal Tingley (@springtexas10) March 22, 2019
#unsubscribe to Fox Nation until they bring back Judge Jeanine Pirro I am only calling for this boycott because what they did to Judge Jeanine is uncalled for and it’s sickening Hannity that you’re not speaking out about it
— stephen matthews (@KillerMatthews) March 22, 2019
Some Pirro fans have claimed she issued a statement on Facebook that reads as follows: “For legal reasons, I cannot speak about what’s going on right now. I’m told that viewers are boycotting Fox News to support me and, while I cannot officially endorse a boycott, I can say that I love my viewers. ❤️”
However, this statement was plucked from an unverified “Judge Jeanine” Facebook page:
Her official account has been radio silent since March 11.
