Trump Says That Everyone Who Doesn’t Like Fox News is a Loser

On Saturday night, Judge Jeanine Pirro was conspicuously absent from her normal time slot on Fox News Channel.

We now know that Fox News reportedly suspended Pirro following comments she made earlier this month about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s loyalty to the Constitution.

And on Sunday morning the network’s biggest fan had something to say about that.

Donald Trump wants Pirro back on the air, he tweeted Sunday morning, tagging Fox News with his programming guidance. Fox must “stay strong” said the President, and “fight back with vigor” against being “politically correct.”

And he also said those who don’t like Fox News are losers.

Pirro suggested during her March 9 show that Omar’s religious beliefs were at odds with the U.S. Constitution.

“Think about it: Omar wears a hijab,” Pirro said. “Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Shariah law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?”

Fox News condemned Pirro’s comments, saying they had addressed the matter directly with the host.

“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar,” the network said in a statement last week. “They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.”
