President Trump on Sunday defended Fox News hosts, warning that the Democrats and the "Fake News" media are trying to silence a majority of the country through a campaign against the network's conservative hosts.

Trump specifically named Jeanine Pirro, host of "Justice with Judge Jeanine," calling for Fox to "bring back @JudgeJeanine." Pirro's Fox News show did not air on Saturday night.

Last week, Fox News condemned remarks made by Pirro after the host on air questioned whether Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is loyal to Sharia because she wears a hijab.

“We’re not commenting on internal scheduling matters,” a Fox News spokesperson told The Hill of Pirro's show being preempted.

1. How can he tweet with Fox News Pom poms in his hands?

Well that made that pretty concrete. They are his marketing department.

Yeah she's #1 at 9 pm on a Saturday night. To paraphrase Al Franken from one of his books this is like being the chief of the Malawi space program which consists of a man, a bucket, and his dreams.

2. With all of his stupid tweets, travel and golf, when does he have time to govern ... well, we are

better off the less he attempts to govern.

He literally just tweeted in defense of islamophobic remarks made by @JudgeJeanine

Acting WH Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney on @FoxNewsSunday during Qs on NZ shooter: “the President is not a white supremacist, I don’t know how many times we have to say that.”

4. New Zealand takes Fox off the air for Islamaphobia, tRump cheers them on... This has to stop!

This thing is not sane. No one would be stupid enough to tweet this after the mass murder in New Zealand. It was Fox themselves who thought Pirro went over the top. It had nothing to do with the "left". The madman is trying to incite a riot. Write your Representatives, now! This must end. Anyone but tRump! Bring sanity back to government.

7. "Not a white suprematist.."

It's totally coincidental that he supports their positions, quotes them, and goes to extremes to support their rights to spew hate....total coincidence.

8. Yet he wants to take SNL off the air.

Obvious much?
