Judge Jeannine Pirro had a tongue-in-cheek response to her huge showdown with Whoopi Goldberg on The View.
Speaking on her Fox News show Justice, Pirro thanked the comedian for getting her book to number one in the best sellers lists and joked: ‘I much preferred you (Whoopi) in the movie Ghost than on The View’.
At the top of the Saturday show, Pirro commented how the confrontation illustrated how toxic political discourse in America has gotten today.
‘Everyone has the right to speak, but when you can’t even listen to what someone has to say because you despise the man who is President, you undermine not the President of the United States, you undermine the United States.’
Later on in the show she spoke about the scandal at more length, but insisted that she wanted to bring the tension to an end.
She began by saying: ‘I do want to thank Whoopi and the ladies for helping to make my book number one on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. So go out and get a copy if you haven’t already.
‘All of you saw it, and most of you probably heard both my and Whoopi’s version of what you didn’t see after I was thrown off the set. But I’m not here to rehash old news, and in the spirit of tonight’s opening statement, I’d like to close the book on this and move on,’ she added.
Addressing her audience directly, Pirro added: ‘And I’d like you to do so, as well.’
Pirro addressed the issue head-on at the top of her show on Saturday, saying that ‘Everyone one the right to speak, but when you can’t even listen to what someone has to say because you despise the man who is President, you undermine not the President of the United States, you undermine the United States.’
‘Furthermore, I’ve been a guest on The View many times… and have always been treated with respect.’
She then advises the home audience to go online and watch the exchange so they can decide for themselves how she conducted herself and how she was treated.
‘And to Whoopi,’ Pirro says, ‘I accept that you and I have different versions of what happened on Thursday on and off the air and that we have completely different takes on President Trump and the job that he’s doing.’
On Thursday, tempers exploded on the set of The View when the two strong-willed women tumbled into a yelling match over President Donald Trump, ending with Goldberg screaming at the Fox News host to ‘get the f*** out.’
The View host would not reveal the exact phrase the was used on Thursday, but a production source tells DailyMail.com that Pirro was staring at Goldberg and her co-hosts as she left the stage and said: ‘Those c**ksuckers.
Goldberg said she then watched as Pirro lashed out at the booking team and security staff, deciding then to have a few words with the former district attorney.
Pirro ends the segment by throwing to a clip of The View after thanking Goldberg for paying her a compliment at the end of Friday’s show.
‘Jeanine,’ Goldberg states in the clip, ‘good luck with your book, I hear it’s number one. I preferred your last book about [suspected murderer] Robert Durst, but there’s no accounting for taste.’
In response, Pirro remarks with a smile: ‘Thanks Whoopi, and may I say – I preferred you in the [1990] movie Ghost much more than I do on The View.’
For all the judge’s talk about respecting the commander-in-chief on Saturday’s segment, during the previous administration, Pirro repeatedly questioned then President Obama’s fitness for office, saying he was responsible for releasing ISIS leader Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in 2009 (he was freed in 2004, according to the US State Department); and called for Obama’s impeachment two years after the deadly 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya.
‘Mr. President, it’s called an abrogation of duty,’ Pirro raged during a May 2014 Fox News segment.
‘You have not taken your oath to honestly and faithfully execute the duties of your office. As commander in chief, you have not protected us. This dereliction of duty as commander in chief demands your impeachment,’ she added.
She also blamed the former president for a recent domestic abuse scandal that hit the Trump White House earlier this this year, leading to the firing of two aides.
Hands up, mouths open: ‘I’ve been a prosecutor, judge, DA for 30 years. I tried murder cases. I can go toe-to-toe anybody. That was abuse,’ said Pirro of Goldberg’s vulgar tirade (Pirro and Goldberg go at it Thursday while the rest of the ladies try to lie very low)
