Daily Wire March 12, 2019 Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s comments on her show Sunday about Muslim Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar have prompted rebukes from both the Left and Right, as well as her own network. Omar was (indirectly) reprimanded last week by her own party for repeatedly working in anti-Semitic “dual loyalty” references about pro-Israel politicians. On “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Sunday, Pirro dedicated an “Opinion” segment to addressing Omar’s history of anti-Semitic rhetoric. Stressing that anti-Israel sentiments are not a part of the Democratic Party’s platform, Pirro suggested that a deeper loyalty than party loyalty might…

If you want to know what I think, you can watch.…

Trump, and the two-faced do-nothing frightened Republicans in Congress. No matter how much false promotional hype you hear on Fox News to boost prime time ratings, or the futile pleas of my former colleagues and “document mavens” at Judicial Watch, do not expect any of them to redress the rampant corruption and sedition of the James Comeys, Rod Rosentsteins, Andrew McCabes, Bruce Ohrs, Peter Strzuks…

NY Times columnist on CNN: Omar ‘has come to be a bridge destroyer’ By John Bowden TheHill March 9, 2019 A New York Times columnist argued Saturday that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) missed an opportunity to build bridges between Muslims and Jews in the U.S. with her recent comments about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and Israel.
