No one finds it a bit over the top that the judge can't simply throw out a question for discussion/debate? To start a conversation?
I find it an especially pertinent question on the heels of that persons anti Semitic remarks. She also just referred to the President as not human. Since when are we not supposed to question our policy makers? How else do we hold them accountable?
The entire situation is disturbing. We're going to silence and censure anyone who questions anything now? This is a VERY slippery and frightening slope.
Omar’s remark was rightfully understood to be anti-Semitic. Pirro’s was no less Islamophobic. Omar should be questioned on her statements and policy positions, but there’s no need to question whether she believes in the Constitution because she chooses to wear a hijab.
Fox expressed disagreement with her remarks early last week, then chose not to air her after 50 Muslims were slaughtered while praying by an anti-Muslim white supremacist. She’s their employee, they’re free to censure her, but no one has silenced her - she’s free to make whatever gross remarks she wants, she’s just not entitled to do it on a Saturday night program.

She can commentate and throw out thought provoking questions to her heart’s content without couching bigotry in the form of a question. Fox is a business and she’s losing advertisers. Them having (minimal) standards for their on-air hosts is nowhere close to having government run media or losing the right to question.Valentina327 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 2:12 pmShe's a commentator.

Everyone can RIP Christianity up one side and down the other. There are mad slayings is Christians all over the world every day. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage? No where because it doesn't fit the progressive agenda.

you think Fox news is concerned about “toeing the progressive line”?
