Jeanine Pirro Mocked on Twitter For Admitting False Nancy Pelosi Report: 'Must've Taken You at Least 2 Boxes of Wine'. It was a cringeworthy interview with a ‘judge’ and a ‘ president. Another Twitter user joked, “How many #quarantinis did Judge Jeanine have?” On Sunday, Pirro replied to a tweet reading, “She looks about 150 proof,” by saying, “Keep hating.
Perhaps the very last act Donald Trump made as president was to pardonAlbert Pirro, who was convicted of tax evasion and conspiracy nearly 20 years ago for deducting more than $1 million in personal expenses as 'business expenses.' Why would Trump use the last hour of his presidency to forgive a white-collar criminal whose greed for money, according to ABC News, has been likened to Richard Nixon's lust for power? While Pirro did donate about $2,000 to the Republican National Committee and the Trump campaign in 2020, the pardon likely had less to do with this relatively small donation and a whole lot more to do with who his ex-wife is.
The businessman's former wife is Fox News' Jeanine Pirro, who has spent Trump's presidency singing his praises and continually supporting him via the TV network, even when other reporters and programs questioned or criticized the president. In fact, her weekly broadcast on Saturday evenings, Justice with Judge Jeanine, frequently quoted Trump's now-banned Twitter account, and commenters and viewers found her show a safe place to voice their undying support of the president and repeat conspiracy theories and unfounded claims about election fraud (via ABC News).
Trump's history with Jeanine Pirro
Donald Trump first became acquainted with the Pirros over 30 years ago when he hired Albert Pirro to serve as a real estate lawyer. At the time, Jeanine Pirro was serving as a Westchester County Court judge, and the couple ran in the same New York City social scene as Trump. Trump remained friends with Judge Pirro over the intervening decades, and long before his own political ambitions, Pirro ran for the Republican senate nomination to oppose Hilary Clinton in 2005. She dropped out of the race, but Trump showed his friendship and support by donating to her campaign at the time, and when she ran the next year to oppose Andrew Cuomo for the New York attorney general seat, he donated to that campaign as well (via Vanity Fair).
She gave up her ambitions of pursuing political office for a TV career, landing a headlining role in CW's reality courtroom show Judge Jeanine Pirro, which was canceled in 2011 just before Pirro signed on with Fox. And in 2016, she wrote a book called Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy, which The Washington Post called 'the most gushing' of the 'sycophantic' books that had come out at the time about the then-new president. Throughout his presidency, Pirro took the president's side and made sometimes-controversial assertions that landed her in hot water even with her network, but nothing deterred her loyalty and her drive to express it on her show (via Vanity Fair).
Judge Jeanine Pirro wound up trending on Twitter Saturday night after a bizarre broadcast of her Fox News show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” led numerous viewers to question whether the host had imbibed a cocktail or six before going on air.
The show began about 15 minutes late due to “technical difficulties,” and when Pirro finally appeared, her hair was dishevelled while she appeared to slur her words.
“Just the other… day the president talked, or was hoping, about the possibility of reopening everything on Easter Sunday, uh, in a way where we could kind of come out of this quarantine, as loose as it may be, that we’re involved in,” she said, attempting to zero in on a point but never quite making it there.
It’s like every time they come back from commercial, she appears more intoxicated pic.twitter.com/VOVPfJx4yl

Another Twitter user shared a clip in which Pirro’s eyes seem to close as her head drops to the side in apparent drowsiness while a guest is talking.
At one point a heavily inebriated Judge Jeanine is slowly nodding off while her guest talks. A quick-thinking producer gets her off screen by throwing up a graphic of 'mental health tips.' The first tip is 'AVOID NAPS'!!!! pic.twitter.com/h16JkzldrH

Another shared a seemingly prescient clip from a “Saturday Night Live” “Weekend Update” segment featuring Cecily Strong as a drunk-as-a-skunk Pirro.

Meanwhile, here’s a brief sampling of Twitter reaction to Pirro’s broadcast.

I must admit that I watched a full 10 minute clip of Jeanine Pirro tonight and yeah there’s no way she wasn’t drunk lol which is really really bizarre considering she’s hosting a cable news show that many lunatics view as gospel

Folks, Jeanine Pirro was drunk AF tonight…either that or she swallowed some pills chased by a shot of vodka.
I won't pretend that I am concerned about her—I think she's a genuinely terrible person. But if I were a Fox News producer, I'd check her into rehab. She's not well. pic.twitter.com/MPQFDaQv3c

Beyond parody. You can actually see Jeanine Pirro putting down her drink at the top of her show tonight…which was delayed due to “technical difficulties”. pic.twitter.com/5hOC11BFtM

Apparently Fox Propaganda’s fake Judge Jeanine Pirro was heard slurring her words on air tonight, appearing drunk and disheveled.
How’s that different from every other night? 🤔

On Sunday, Fox News issued a statement blaming “technical difficulties” for the shambolic broadcast, noting that this was Pirro’s first broadcast from home.
“Jeanine Pirro was broadcasting from her home for the first time when she encountered several technical difficulties which impacted the quality of her show, including the loss of a teleprompter,” reads the statement. “As we have previously said, we are operating with a reduced staff working remotely to ensure the health and safety of our employees in these unprecedented times,” a spokesperson said.

Pirro herself addressed the tsunami of tweets by claiming an IFB was “grabbing my hair and no staff around to notice,” also saying she “was in a truck that was not prepared to broadcast bec we had no connection, no visual and no teleprompter.”
No that’s an ifb grabbing my hair and no staff around to notice. I was in a truck where that was not prepared to broadcast bec we had no connection , no visual and no teleprompter.
