So, let's review: Jeanine Pirro ranted against Ilhan Omar because the Representative is a Muslim. These were comments even FoxNews condemned. Then a man, citing Trump's words and actions, killed 50 people at prayer in a mosque in hopes of starting a race war. Perhaps related to that, perhaps not, FoxNews pulled Pirro's show last night. And so we come to Donald Trump's tweets thus morning.Fox News removed Jeanine Pirro’s program from its usual slot on Saturday night, 1 week after the network took the rare step of publicly rebuking the host for her anti-Muslim remarks about Representative Ilhan Omar https://t.co/2hgeBu95QQ— NYT Politics (@nytpolitics) March 17, 2019
Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox .....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019
....must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019
....to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous - they all want what you’ve got - NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter. They can’t beat you, you can only beat yourselves!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019
Just so we know where his priorities are. So white nationalism is not an international problem, SNL colluded with Russia:
(You can read Trump's Twitter feed for the 3 tweets this morning on SNL.), and the President is concerned with the scheduling practices of a cable news network.POTUS suggests TV shows critical of him are “colluding” with Russia and Dems and suggests federal intervention. In later tweets, he says @JudgeJeanine, off air after anti-Islamic remarks, is being treated unfairly and should be brought back on air. https://t.co/hWJWEmLgXY— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 17, 2019
BTW, my PBS station is disrupting its schedule again to run fundraising pitches. It takes 2 to 3 weeks before they return to normal, but somehow the republic still stands and it's not a national issue.
Ratio of Pirro tweets to NZ mosque massacre tweets? https://t.co/pXVm3CnyCa— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) March 17, 2019
I wonder if Trump tried to punch the TV in like when Duddley's favorite show when off. He's like the pre-book 7 Duddley, come to think of it.
ReplyDeletePBS, it's got a regular schedule they interrupt their fundraising periods for. I remember when that was supposed to be different from commercial TV.
