[ck4829]

Fox's Jeanine Pirro says Rep. Omar's hijab may mean that she's against the Constitution

Pirro: "Omar wears a hijab. ... Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to sharia law which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"

1. You could say the same thing about wearing a cross.

Or any other religious symbol.

[ck4829]

2. Indeed, and clothing, or any form of it, is mentioned zero times in the Constitution

So I guess there's only one way to be truly loyal to the Constitution.....

[Glamrock]

20. And the same can be said about

Christian law being antithetical to the constitution.

[AJT]

27. Or a MAGAt hat.

[pangaia]

3. Who gives a flying fuck what the flying fuck Jeanine Pirro says...

Next....

[ck4829]

5. Well yes. But keep it in mind next time people want to be outraged over Omar saying something

[SharonClark]

7. Well said.

[ooky]

25. Exactly.

TV for the mega-stupid, who cares?

[marybourg]

28. It is apparently a requirement on DU that

every utterance of a RWNJ, no matter how demented, be reported here, just in case one of us missed it and missed the opportunity to disburse it further by telling all our friends. And then we wonder how everything they say gets media attention.

4. "Omar's hijab may mean that she's against the Constitution "

Does the same hold true for a Jewish yarmulka? A Christians zucchetto?
What a putz... Like most FauxNoise comments, just used to stir up the bases MAGA pot..
They LOVE to play victim in the blame game... OH THE HORROR she wares something on her head...

26. Ben Shapiro may want a word with her

6. Didn't we already have this fight about Catholics?

The answer, in case you don't already know, is "yes".

You'd think someone with Italian roots would know that, but... FOX.

On Edit: Thanks to texasleo for the correction about her family's roots.

[texasleo]

19. She's an Arab.

[JHB]

21. I stand corrected. Thanks.

Still, it's not something that changes my original point. For a long time in this country there was a prejudice that Catholics were incapable of being 'real Americans' because of divided loyalty: the head of their religion was a medieval foreign prince. Getting their marching orders straight from the Vatican, as it were.

That was crap, of course, but the attitude was real. From Thomas Nast cartoons to the 20s Klan to Kennedy having to explicitly say he didn't answer to Rome, Catholics had to deal with precisely the attitude Pirro promotes against Omar.

23. Pronounced: A-rab, with pause between two syllables. nt

[unc70]

30. She is Catholic, just of Lebanese descent

[ProudLib72]

8. Being an intolerant conservative is antithetical to the Constitution

So shove it up your ass, "judge".

[pangaia]

11. WINNER !!!!!!!!!

[BigMin28]

15. +1000

[Iliyah]

9. Rep. Omar needs security.

This women on tv is sending dangerous vibes to fake news (Murdoch) insane crowd.

Democracy doesn't work that way.

[spanone]

10. another Muslim hating foxbot...

[BeyondGeography]

12. You mean that thing Trump uses for toilet paper?

[Chin music]

13. Meeting w rusiians in the oval office and alone overseas means trumps not loyal to the constitution.

[Atticus]

14. I find it especially rich that Ms. Pirro, who, on a good day, might be taken for an aging

cocktail waitress at an off-Strip casino, is criticizing another female's attire.

[H2O Man]

16. I remember when

Minister Malcolm X said that the louder his opponents squealed, the better he knew he was doing.

[pamdb]

17. hijab

What about Yamakas? Or, if we elected a Sikh, he might wear a turban.

Frankly, I think the whole hijab is just one more way men try to dominate women. Why do they wear a hijab? For modesty? What's modest about hair. Oh, we don't want to inflame men's passions? IS that it? IS hair considered
"vain". I don't get it. Men's rules. But then again, I despise all religions (most if not all created by men for men) so take it with a grain of salt.

[underpants]

18. So...the Constitution favors people being molested?

I'm not sure there's a way to actually read this correctly but I think she thinks the Constitution either allows or supports molestation.

Think about this. She's not getting this anti-Israel sentiment doctrine from the Democrat party. So if it's not rooted in the party, where is she getting it from? Think about it. Omar wears a hijab, which according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won't get molested. Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to sharia law which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?

[procon]

22. That woman is a lying hucksters.

She relies on her audience to be ignorant and I'll informed, a prerequisite for Fox news viewers. As a purported judge, she must have some vague familiarity with the laws founded on the Constitution; merely a presumption on my part.

Article Six states; people "...shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required..."

She should be informing her knuckle dragging fans that Americans are free to subscribe to any religion they chose, and everyone can wear the traditional accoutrements of their chosen faith. As a free people, we can wear a hijab, or a yamaka, don a prayer shawl, wear crosses or put a scarf over our heads, or carry a kirpan, because the Constitution is (for the time being) still the law of the land.

[Vinca]

24. So how about all the Catholics I saw last week with ashes on their heads? Are they more loyal

to the Pope or is it just Muslims? Have another drink, Jeanine, and go away.

[sweetroxie]

29. k&r

[ornotna]

32. Not to mention all the nuns in habits

Evil effin' nuns.



That lady is nuts.

[Peacetrain]

31. Oh good grief.. Pirro sure loves the sound of her own voice

seriously strange person..
