“Why, all of a sudden, is it if you’re Black, you cannot be made accountable?” Pirro “asked.” She was specifically referring to Claudine Gay, the former president of Harvard, and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson. But Pirro obviously thinks all Blacks are guilty of ducking accountability. She claimed their race is “used in a way to prevent them from being accountable and they say they are victims because of their color when, in truth, what the Blacks are now saying is, I am privileged, I am privileged. It’s Black privilege. You cannot remove me. I am not accountable.”

This from the woman who got Donald Trump to pardon her ex-husband - the guy whose fraudulent tax returns she signed; the husband with suspected mob ties; an adulterer who fathered an out-of-wedlock daughter; and who was also on retainer to Trump. That was before Pirro’s pal incited an insurrection, stole classified documents, stashed them in his bathroom and was charged with 91 felonies.

So yeah, tell me more about how it's Blacks who don't get held to account, Jeanine, and get privileges they don't deserve, unlike your "deserving" ex.

“The classic example is Kamala Harris,” race-cop Pirro continued. “I mean, she’s wonderful, she hasn’t done anything that we can think of, but you know, you can’t criticize her because she’s Black."

Not one of Pirro’s four cohosts seemed bothered by her remarks. Jesse Watters “joked” to Harold Ford Jr. that he should “denounce your Black privilege right here on the show.”

Ford laughed.
