Does not indicate whether her commitment to the Islamic doctrine of allegiance to Sharia law, which in itself is contrary to the Constitution of the United States?» she said.

But today, in its statement, the channel expressed directly: «We strongly condemn the comments Jeanine Pirro about a member of the house of representatives Ilhan Omar. They do not reflect the view of the canal, and we discussed this issue with her directly.»
Officer Fox Hufsa Kamal spoke personally to the colleague: «@JudgeJeanine you can stop spreading the lie that Muslims hate America, and women wearing hijab, not enough American? With you on the same channel are Muslims, including me.»
