Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., stands with fellow Democrats as they rally March 8, 2019, outside the Capitol in Washington. By Lindsey Bever Lindsey Bever General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow March 11 at 10:25 AM Fox News has condemned one of its hosts, Jeanine Pirro, amid mounting criticism over her recent on-air remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar .
“She’s not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat Party,” Pirro said about the freshman congresswoman. “So if it’s not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from?" And Hufsa Kamal, an associate producer for Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” called out Pirro on Twitter for “spreading this false narrative that somehow Muslims hate America.”
“I’ve seen a lot of comments about my opening statement from Saturday night’s show and I did not call Rep. Omar un-American,” Pirro said in her own statement. “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.
