Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro Retracts False Claim That Nancy Pelosi Was ‘Partying’ In Puerto Rico During Shutdown

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro has retracted her false claim that Nancy Pelosi was “partying” in Puerto Rico during the government shutdown when the House speaker was actually in Washington, D.C. During an interview with President Trump on Saturday night, Pirro implied Pelosi was slacking off while the longest government shutdown in history causes chaos, saying: “Nancy Pelosi’s in Hawaii over the holidays... Now she’s in Puerto Rico with a bunch of Democrats and lobbyists enjoying the sun and partying down there.” In a tweet Sunday, Pirro took back the claim without apologizing, writing: “During my exclusive interview with Pres Trump I said Speaker Pelosi was in Puerto Rico with a bunch of her Democrat colleagues. I based that on numerous reports that turned out to be wrong. The Speaker’s office says she has been in DC all weekend and I take them at their word.” It’s unclear which reports Pirro was referring to—articles did say that Pelosi was expected to attend the opening night of Hamilton on the island, but no reports said that was actually in Puerto Rico.

1. No apology. No personal acceptance of responsibility.

It's probably best that I not elaborate on the type of woman I believe she is.

5. At least she corrected it. The Fox commentators usually lie, and then double down

At any rate she’s not a credible person.

2. I swear I also heard from NPR's reporting as well that she was

in Puerto Rico. I didn't think it was anything nefarious, but I have a HUGE problem with a supposedly "respectable" news organization like NPR buying bullshit from Fox News hook, line, and sinker.

3. What's wrong with being in Puerto Rico?

It's just as much a part of the United States as Washington, DC or Mar-a-Lago.

4. Because Democrats are not allowed anything

Nothing. Nada. We all deserve the fire and brimstone of Hell. Dontcha know?

6. Not at all shocked that FOX news lied to the American people

I am shocked that this one time they admitted to it.

Perhaps by admitted to every 100th lie they feel it will create a false sense of credibility

7. Read: oh one more thing while I'm relevant and people are paying attention to me

Her show only exists to be posted on Facebook. Credit to her actually for asking Trump directly if he's a Russian agent.

8. Have a friend who enjoyed the opening of Hamilton in Puerto Rico.

She's a democrat who would have proudly laid claims to being at the same event, or even the same area as Nancy Pelosi....not a peep....here she is...
