Hot Mic: Judge Jeanine Slams Fox News

Jeanine Pirro

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro acknowledged her suspension by the network earlier this year and said she is worried she could be fired during a hot mic moment during a commercial break Tuesday on Sebastian Gorka's radio program, reports The Hill.

Pirro, who hosts the highly rated “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Saturday nights, was suspended by Fox last year after she questioned Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) patriotism because she wears a hijab.

The hot mic moment occurred after Pirro told Gorka, a former Fox News contributor and Trump deputy adviser, that she may not be able to appear on his Salem Radio Networks show in person due to the network barring her from appearing on other conservative outlets.

Gorka had reminded Pirro the show was still live during the commercial break earlier.

Pirro came under criticism in March when she brought up Omar’s wearing of the hajib, and asked whether doing so was “indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution.”
