According to an exclusive report by The Gateway Pundit, Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Sam Shepherd secretly worked to get Judge Jeannie Pirro taken off the air for her controversial remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) use of a hijab.
The source asked TGP for anonymity to speak freely about the behinds the scenes maneuvers:
The original complaint came from Bret Baier’s team. Bret saw an opportunity to make Fox News acceptable enough to the left, so he could get himself a job of hosting the Democratic Debates. Bret supported one of his producers, Hufsa Kamal, in tweeting out a condemnation of Judge Jeanine to put pressure on Fox News to suspend her show. Hufsa Kamal, a producer of Special Report with Bret Baier, has a history of anti-conservative tweets.
Shepard Smith, known as a “never-Trumper”, also played a major role in the Judge’s suspension. “He lobbied 24/7 to suspend her.”
Fox News placed Jerry Andrews, a far-left, anti-conservative as Executive Producer of Justice with Judge Jeanine to “muzzle Judge Jeanine from speaking the truth.” Andrews has a long history of anti-conservative, anti-Trump social media activity.
More anonymous sources are now filling the void with reports that Pirro is being targeted by liberals at Fox News.The Hollywood Reporter on Monday quoted a source close to Fox saying executives have never liked Pirro, to explain why the network stood by fellow opinion host Tucker Carlson who has also been under fire–but for remarks he made a decade ago on talk radio.
Fox News was quick to condemn Pirro’s remarks but has not criticized Carlson’s comments, some of which were made when he was an MSNBC employee. A source familiar with the network’s strategy explained the divergent approach: “They love Tucker. They do not like Jeanine Pirro. They never have.”
Muslim Fox News producer Hufsa Kamal Khan also criticized Judge Pirro for her comments on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s hijab.
President Trump, a long term friend of Pirro who has made several appearances on her show, spoke out on Twitter Sunday in support of the judge. Trump also called out Shepard Smith and two weekend news hosts as better suited for CNN.
Were @FoxNews weekend anchors, @ArthelNeville and @LelandVittert, trained by CNN prior to their ratings collapse? In any event, that’s where they should be working, along with their lowest rated anchor, Shepard Smith!

….must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true….

Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox …..

Fire Shepard Smith and return Judge Pirro!
SHAME ON FOX NEWS – We knew Shepherd Smith was a mean-spirited person but now Bret Braier!!! Ugh. Hiring a CNN cheater Donna Brazile??? Unbelievable!!!!!. Bring Back Judge Jeanine!!! Only good ones left on Fox are Tucker, Hannity, L Ingram, S Breen, Gutfield. SHAME ON YOU FOX NEWS – sliding down low to f**e news CNN & MSNBC level.
It is so true of this move., it is so sad that it has been forced into taking people off their network because they are open, honest And will tell the truth, no just be puppets for others. Will we ever get a fair and truthful reporting on the news and people in our country?
Judge Jeannine Pirro is well received because she is NOT politically correct…… Bret and Shep have often made negative comments against conservative thinking… Fox News is coming close
to losing the major source of their viewers if they continue down this path…… Donna was allowed
to influence the debates by submitting questions for Hillilary……..she knew the questions ahead
I NEVER SHEP’S SHOW and I now WON’T be watching Bret’s
The Judge Speaks the truth and doesn’t sugar coat it. Amazing how others can sprout obscenities and threats and they remain. So now you are hiring a liar and someone who broke the law. If what you say is true about the other two hosts you mentioned- then fire them !!
Sure is looking very clear an Islamic element at FOX – Hufsa Kamal Khan, a believer in the Quaran that calls to deceive, rob, rape and kill nonbelievers that don’t submit to Islam and other leftist are working hard to subvert the conservative views of FOX news to force a more liberal view by Sheperd and Baier down our throats. If this continues FOX NEWS will no longer be fair and balanced but another dispenser of liberal swill the likes of CNN, MSMBC and ABC. We can now expect nonstop verbal slop against President Trump, republicans and conservatives. from the likes of CNN, MSMNBC, ABC and the rest of the leftist media swamp. Leaves me, a conservative where to next.
We quit watching Brett Blair and Shepard Snith as we Know they are both Anti Trump and Judge Jannine and Hanity are the reason we watch Fox . Tom Charlton Semper Fi
I am absolutely astounded that this sort of behind the scenes Back-Stabbing was allowed to take place and I will be taking note of the companies advertising on FOX during Bret Bair and Shepard Smith time slots in order to never buy their products again! I don’t expect saints to be working at the networks, but back-stabbing another conservative host is something I resent personally.
