Whoopi Shuts Down Jeanine Pirro for Calling Her ‘Deranged’
Even as the hosts of Fox & Friends pushed back against President Donald Trump for his fawning press conference with Vladimir Putin this week, Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro defended him, asking, “What was he supposed to do, take a gun out and shoot Putin?”
On Thursday morning, she took that undying loyalty to The View.
Pirro began by stating that she was never in contention to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court, despite Donald Trump Jr. tweeting that it would be “awesome.” She was more cagey when asked about whether she has been gunning for Jeff Sessions’ job.
“I have spoken to him, not about getting the job, no, but about having someone in that job, I don't care who it is, as long as it's an attorney general who is not in the closet hiding somewhere, who 24 hours after he took the job said, I'm not going to do anything with respect to the election,” Pirro said, directly attacking Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation.
Asked if she would take the job, Pirro said, “I haven’t been offered the job.” But as co-host Meghan McCain pointed out, “That’s not a no.”
Pirro continued to unabashedly defend Trump’s meeting with Putin and attack former President Obama for not doing enough to keep Russia in check. Every time the hosts tried to criticize Trump’s behavior, she turned around and asked, “And what did Barack Obama do?”
Later, when Pirro’s new book, titled Liars, Leakers and Liberals, came up, guest-host Ana Navarro joked: “I thought she was describing the Trump White House.”
Pirro insisted that she is “not an ideologue,” which might come as a shock to anyone who has ever viewed her Fox News program. But, she added, “I know a con when I see it.” Pirro was not talking about the Trump presidency, but rather the Russia investigation, which she characterized as “fake.”
“You just said you're not an ideologue,” Navarro said. “Do you think Donald Trump embraces and embodies conservative ideology? He used to have a different position on pro-choice, he is imposing tariffs, he's against globalism. Do you think he's an ideologue that is faithful to conservative policies?”
