Jeanine pirro fox news
Jeanine Pirro is an American lawyer, author, and television host who is currently a judge on the Fox News Channel's program "Justice with Judge Jeanine". She is also a former prosecutor and a judge in Westchester County, New York.
Pirro was born on June 2, 1951, in Elmira, New York. She earned a Bachelor's degree from Elmira College and a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School. She began her career as a prosecutor in Westchester County, where she worked for over 20 years, eventually becoming the county's first female court judge.
In 2005, Pirro was elected as the District Attorney of Westchester County, becoming the first woman to hold the position. She served in that role until 2007, when she resigned to pursue a career in television.
Pirro joined Fox News in 2006, hosting the program "Judge Jeanine Pirro" from 2008 to 2011. She then went on to host "Justice with Judge Jeanine", which premiered in 2011 and has been a popular program on the network ever since.
Pirro is known for her conservative views and her strong opinions on a range of topics, including politics, law enforcement, and social issues. She has been a vocal critic of the Obama administration and has been a strong supporter of President Donald Trump.
Pirro has also been involved in several high-profile controversies during her career. In 2018, she was criticized for her comments about Ilhan Omar, a Muslim congresswoman from Minnesota, suggesting that Omar's hijab was "antithetical to the values of the United States". Pirro later apologized for her comments, saying that she had been misunderstood.
In 2020, Pirro was suspended by Fox News for a week after she made comments on her show suggesting that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was involved in a "deep state" conspiracy to undermine Trump's presidency. The suspension was seen as a rare instance of Fox News taking action against one of its own hosts for making controversial comments.
Despite these controversies, Pirro remains a popular figure on Fox News and continues to host "Justice with Judge Jeanine".
