Judge Jeanine Pirro Returns To Fox News

Judge Jeanine Pirro

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro returned to air Saturday night without mentioning the reason for the two-week absence of her show, “Justice With Judge Jeanine.” However, her first guest for the evening, Rudy Giuliani, did allude to it, according to The Wrap.

“I’m glad you’re back,” he said, shaking her hand. “We need, at this time that our country is in trouble, we need your commonsense voice.

Pirro’s show hasn’t aired since March 9, when she questioned on-air Rep. Ilhan Omar’s loyalty to America because she is a Muslim.

“Think about it,” Pirro said. “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 Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which is antithetical to the U.S. Constitution?”

The comment sparked a bipartisan cascade of outrage, including from Fox News personalities, and the network condemned her.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly,” a network rep said at the time. Although disciplinary action was not confirmed, “Justice With Judge Jeanine” was not broadcast for two weeks.
