Something very strange was going on Saturday evening on Fox News, and it involved host Jeanine Pirro, who appeared to be intoxicated as she fumbled her way through the show.
First of all, Pirro’s show was delayed for 15 minutes due to what the network called “technical difficulties.” And then when Pirro finally appeared on screen, her hair was disheveled and she had trouble talking, starting the first segment of the show by remarking:
“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.”
OMG. What is Fox News doing putting someone on the air in the condition? https://t.co/N0dPciYAaU

Judge Jeanine missed the first segment of her show tonight because of “technical difficulties” and then hosted the rest of it in this condition pic.twitter.com/KxGGBXUkly

That was all it took for Twitter to explode with laughter, with many noting that Cecily Strong’s impression of the Fox host on “Saturday Night Live” was clearly on point:
Cecily Strong nails Pirro perfectly! SO happy SNL posted this viral clip tonight! https://t.co/zdTwjCOTzB

Invented a new cocktail that involves chugging bourbon from the bottle and then recording angry videos to send to my exes. I’m calling it the Judge Jeanine.

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

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? ?

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

Has anyone noticed that a number of Trump’s most passionate fans (“Judge” Jeanine, Giuliani, Kudlow) often appear to be drunk as a skunk when they defend him on TV? https://t.co/mlKghFoKSB
