Ilhan Omar supports Sharia law in defiance of the U.S. Constitution because she wears a hijab.</p> <p>“We strongly condemn Jeanine Pirro’s comments about Rep. Ilhan Omar," the network said in a statement. "They do not reflect those of the network and we have addressed the matter with her directly.” [.....]</p> <p>Pirro’s remarks were swiftly rebuked Sunday on social media, with Bret Stephens, the conservative New York Times columnist, calling her “a disgrace” in a <a href="https://twitter.com/BretStephensNYT/status/1104806673741430786" target="_blank"><u>tweet</u></a>.</p> <p>“Ilhan Omar’s right to wear hijab in accordance with her religious convictions is as constitutional as an Orthodox Jewish woman's right to wear a sheitel,” Stephens wrote. “Anything less is un-American.”</p> <p>At least one of Pirro’s Fox News colleagues took issue with the insinuation. Hufsa Kamal [.....]</p> </blockquote> <p>However, I note in the article there is also that Judge Jeanine is using the "Ino dog whistle intended, so I am not apolozing" defense for her trolling (geez, <u>sounds so familiar!</u>):</p> <blockquote> <p>Pirro did not apologize in a statement Sunday night, insisting: "I did not call Rep. Omar un-American."</p> <p>She added: "My intention was to ask a question and start a debate, but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution. I invite Rep. Omar to come on my show any time to discuss all of the important issues facing America today.”</p> </blockquote> </div></div></div> Mon, 11 Mar 2019 04:56:37 +0000 artappraiser comment 265780 at http://dagblog.com
