Incident: Jeanine Pirro Leaves Interview Following Discussion on Gun Violence
Jeanine Pirro, a Fox News host, found herself at the centre of a heated exchange during a press conference on August 12, 2025. The discussion revolved around the Department of Justice (DOJ) cutting funding for gun violence prevention programs, a topic that Pirro seemed reluctant to engage with.
The incident unfolded when a reporter asked Pirro if she was concerned that the funding cuts would undermine efforts to reduce gun violence. Pirro responded curtly, dismissing the question with "Oh stop it," before offering a vague excuse about putting resources on the street. The press conference was quickly wrapped up, with Pirro indicating that she was done taking questions on that topic.
The exchange reflects Pirro’s frustration or unwillingness to engage with questions directly criticizing the DOJ’s approach to funding cuts for gun violence prevention. It's worth noting that Pirro has taken a hardline stance on crime and supports aggressive federal crime control measures in Washington, D.C., opposing claims that violent crime is decreasing there.
In a separate incident, Pirro caused controversy when she called on former Vice President Mike Pence to commit a major crime during her show. The specifics of the statement have not been disclosed, but it has sparked a wave of criticism and calls for accountability.
