As part of an interview she gave to former Trump administration aide Sebastian Gorka for his radio show entitled “America First with Sebastian Gorka, Fox News host Jeanine Pirro trashed her bosses at the network and also admitted that she was indeed suspended for remarks she made about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), according to The Daily Beast:
“Hey Jeanine, we’re still live, the mics are live on YouTube,” Gorka said, in a moment first reported by Media Matters for America. “Are you doing any events in D.C. again? In the near future?”
That’s when Pirro started complaining that Fox was telling her where she could go and what shows she could do:
“I don’t know yet. In fact I’m going in tonight, I’m doing Hannity tonight and I gotta find out. They just send me my schedule every day. But if I am, believe me, you’re in it –“
Gorka interjected:
“We’d love to have you. Because we post everything, the video, on YouTube and we’re getting a quarter of a million views in two days for our biggest interviews with diGenova and everybody, so we’d love to have you in studio.”
Pirro replied:
“Oh good. I love it. I would love it. We’ll see if they let me. You know Fox reviews everything. They’re unbelievable.”
When Gorka noted that since Pirro has a new book out, Fox News must have some freedom to do as she pleases, the Fox host said:
“No. They’re still saying you cannot do Bill O’Reilly, you cannot do Newsmax, you cannot do — oh no.”
Seconds later, Pirro let the proverbial cat out of the bag about why she was off the air after questioning Congresswoman Omar’s loyalty to the United States because she’s Muslim:
“You know what, they suspended me. And I’m not going to get fired. You know I’m worried that that suspension was the basis to tee up for anything I do wrong, they’ll fire me.”
Fox had never confirmed that Pirro had been suspended, but Pirro — much like President Donald Trump, whom she all but worships — blurted out an embarrassing fact that she probably should have kept secret.
