Jeanine Pirro probably won’t be inviting the Tsarnaev family to Thanksgiving dinner anytime soon.
Pirro, the host of Justice with Judge Jeanine Pirro on the Fox News Channel , is a former state judge and crime-fighting Westchester County, New York, District Attorney.
In her so-called “opening statement,” Pirro delivered a powerful denunciation of recent comments made by Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. She concluded her soliloquy by flatly telling their mother that “We don’t want you here. We should not be required to breathe the same air as you. We should not be required to suffer the indignity of your presence.”
Agree or disagree with these highly charged statements, you have to watch the video (embedded below) of her entire monologue to fully appreciate Pirro’s passion for “justice.”
Pirro started off by referencing the Statue of Liberty’s welcoming torch: “… The Tsarnaev family — a father, mother, two sons — were granted political asylum in 2002. We opened our arms to them. Showered them with food, money, housing, education and all the freedoms of American citizens. And look at how we were repaid …”
In response to Zubeidat Tsarnaeva seemingly blaming America for taking her kids away, Pirro had this to say:
“America took your sons from you? They injured more than 200. Blinded, deafened, and blew legs and arms off of innocent civilians. Turning the city of Boston into a locked-down war zone of casualties, amputees, and a future of post-traumatic stress. And America should protect you? Your sons killed Americans. We’re the ones who needed protection. And you ask why did I even go there? I’ll tell you why. You came to suck the fat of our land. To take our money. To educate your terrorist sons. To steal from us. To go on public assistance . To get housing and food stamps. While you’re driving your Mercedes Benz. All the while, your family’s going back and forth to the very country from which you claimed political refuge.”
The judge drew a stark distinction between that family and the lifestyle of ordinary day-to-day Americans who can’t afford a vacation, and if they still have a job, they live from paycheck to paycheck.
Pirro then wondered out loud if the family had lied on its refugee petition and therefore committed perjury in submitting the necessary paperwork to immigration authorities.
In commenting on Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick’s initial reluctance to reveal any info about welfare payments collected by Tamerlan Tsarnaev for privacy reasons, Pirro also did a callback to the controversial decision by the Journal News in New York to post (since taken down) an interactive map of licensed gun owners:
“Governor, you take our money and give it to this guy, and you want to protect his privacy? You want to protect his rights? He’s dead. He’s a terrorist. He has no rights. But it’s okay to invade my privacy, and publish my name and where I live on an interactive map, because I am a lawful gun owner.”
