President Donald Trump fired off three tweets in support of Judge Jeanine Pirro, whose show didn’t appear Saturday night on Fox News, and urged the cable network to “stay strong and fight with vigor” against “the losers.”
Pirro came under broad criticism -- including from the network itself -- for comments she made last week about Representative Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota Democrat who is a Muslim and wears a hijab. Pirro asked if the hijab was “antithetical to the United States Constitution.”
