Fox News host Jeanine Pirro's Saturday night show has already lost at least three corporate advertisers after she said on her March 9 broadcast that Muslim congresswoman Ilhan Omar is "Sharia-compliant" because she wears a traditional hijab head covering.
Letgo, an online marketplace for selling used items that advertised on Saturday's episode of Justice w/ Judge Jeanine, will not run ads on her show again.
"We absolutely condemn Ms. Pirros comments, which are offensive and completely contrary to our values," a spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday afternoon. "We are in the process of ensuring our ads will no longer run during her show."
Personal finance company NerdWallet, which also advertised on Saturday's show, told THR on Monday that it is stopping: "We're no longer advertising on this show and don't have plans to in the future." (The company also pulled ads from Tucker Carlson's show in December 2018, after he said that immigration makes America "dirtier."
Later on Monday, Novo Nordisk, which advertises the diabetes medicine Ozempic on Pirro's show, said it is "pausing" the campaign. "At Novo Nordisk, we advertise across many cable networks to raise awareness of our medicines and the disease they treat," the company said. "We respect each persons right to express their thinking and beliefs, however, we are reevaluating our advertising on this program at this time.

what business does she have telling other people what to wear? I don't tell her it's time to go for less of the low-cut... nuns also wear traditional head covering. This "judge" Jeanie Pirro is very nasty. Her opening monologues are pure hate trash.
