C-SPAN callers open huge up can of whoop-ass on Judge Jeanine of Fox News

CAROL: Our president and our beautiful first lady, they went down to El Paso, Texas, and they posed with a baby that the president's rhetoric, Fox News’ rhetoric, your rhetoric had helped to orphan. And I think this -- this thing about Trump is making America great again, Trump has made America hate again, and it's this hatred of races. I hear it all the time when I see, talk to Republicans and they say, “I went down to Texas and there are all these Mexicans down there and they're all speaking Spanish.” Well, I got news for you. Those weren't Mexicans; those were the Americans. That guy that went down to El Paso to shoot a bunch of Mexicans, he shot a bunch of Americans. And I'm really tired of this anti-immigrant, anti-people-with-brown-skin rhetoric that's coming out of Fox News, coming out of people like you, and coming out of our president. It's demeaning, it's beneath the office, it's beneath you. You used to be a judge -- you know better. It's time that that stopped.

STEVE SCULLY: Thank you, Carol. We’ll get a response.

JEANINE PIRRO: Look, you know what, I refuse to accept your recitation of the facts. You are dead wrong. The problem in this country is not the color of anyone, and don’t you dare accuse me of any kind of issue related to color.

KEVIN: Congratulations on your suspension from Fox. You were suspended -- you should share that with the audience -- and before you attack the left about us and what we do to you conservatives, he gets negative coverage because he lies and distorts. Every single morning, every single day we have to tune in to a level of idiocy and instability that this nation has never seen on the left or on the right. Now, you, ma’am, and your network, you keep this alive. Recently, just last week, you said they are, the Democrats are trying to replace you. Now you're saying this to a predominantly older, white audience -- 1% of your audience is Black, probably less than that for your show.

Later, caller Teresa from Tennessee spoke to Pirro about Teresa’s belief that “our white community” is being attacked by Democrats trying to take “only white people’s guns” while “gang members in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia” go unpunished. Pirro responded by expressing concern about “Black-on-Black crime.”
