Jeanine Ferris Pirro (née Ferris) (2 June 1951–) is a batshit crazy judge and former host of the show Justice with Judge JeanineWikipedia on Fox News. One of the better-known hosts on the network, Pirro is a token minority because of her Arab heritage. Prior to joining the Fox News network, Pirro worked as a judge in her home of Worcester County.

Beginnings[edit]

Ironically, Pirro is of Lebanese descent and was born to Christian Lebanese parents (Maronite Catholics specifically) who immigrated to New York. After leaving college, she became an assistant district attorney.

Insane takes[edit]

A hardcore Republican and devout Trump supporter, she attracted controversy over comments involving Minnesota Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar’s hijab being “required by Sharia law.”. These comments earned her a suspension from Fox News, and her show that was scheduled to air on March 16, 2019 was pre-empted due to her bigotry scheduling matters. [1] A week later, her show was pre-empted again, signaling that she was suspended from the channel. [2]

Pirro was one of the many voices who were supportive of then-United States Supreme Court nomineee Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 sexual misconduct allegations. Previously, she was supportive of abortions, claiming it is a woman's right to have one. However, recently, she opposes late-term abortions. Like her Faux News peers, she’s also a massive gun nut and claims that the left are “coming for our guns”.
