Jeanine Pirro's Bizarre Press Conference Have Some In The Media Wondering If She Had A Little Bit To Drink

The encounter began with a standard inquiry directed at a public figure, yet Jeanine Pirro appeared as if she were cornered, needing to assertively defend herself. The U.S. attorney for D.C. responded to a reporter's question regarding Capitol police officers who expressed feelings of insecurity after Donald Trump's pardons for the January 6 rioters who harmed them. In an August 11 interview with Fox 5 DC, Pirro brusquely stated, “I’m not here to satisfy people’s feelings if they feel bad, I’m here to prosecute crimes.” Her comments quickly ignited a social media frenzy, with critics labeling her as “drunk” and “unprofessional” for her defensive demeanor while justifying Trump’s controversial decision to federalize the D.C. police force. The backlash intensified as her subsequent interactions with the media revealed her irritation and unwillingness to engage in discussions on crime prevention and statistics incompatible with Trump’s narrative of escalating violence.
