Fox News host Jeanine Pirro is facing a furious backlash after calling the historic devastation of Covid-19 into question. The comment came during Wednesday’s episode of Fox News’ The Five, just after co-host Geraldo Rivera warned against downplaying the pandemic’s impact. “Yes, there is hype… but this is something that historians will look back on and say, my God, this was awful.”“Ehhh,” Ms Pirro groaned dismissively. But to Ms Pirro, the idea that the pandemic has been “awful” was debatable. This week, Fox News named Ms Pirro as a permanent co-host on The Five, a five-person talk show starring Fox regulars Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino and Jesse Watters.
