"Omar wears a hijab, which, according to the Quran 33:59, tells women to cover so they won’t get molested." Pirro said at the time. "Is her adherence to this Islamic doctrine indicative of her adherence to Sharia law, which in itself is antithetical to the United States Constitution?"

Fox News condemned Pirro's comments and reportedly suspended her over them.

Pirro in a statement said she did not call Omar "un-American.

"My intention was to ask a question and start a debate, but of course because one is Muslim does not mean you don’t support the Constitution. I invite Rep. Omar to come on my show any time to discuss all of the important issues facing America today," Pirro said.

President Trump, who has appeared on her show, later called on Fox News "bring back" Pirro.

"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," he wrote in a tweet.
