The return of a FOX News program host who blasted Fifth District Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is uncertain.  

Jeanine Pirro did not appear in her regular time slot this past weekend and is not on the network's schedule for the coming week.  

It was earlier this month when Pirro questioned Congresswoman Omar about wearing a hijab, according to Sharia law.

President Trump was right when he said the democrat party is now the anti-Israel party. Don’t forget Nancy, history has proven over and over when you appease to anti-Semitic sentiment, the worst happens. #OpeningStatement pic.twitter.com/vrnzhcu95o

FOX condemned Pirro's comments, saying the words didn't reflect the network and that the issue was already addressed.  

In a tweet, Omar posted that no one should question a person's commitment to the Constitution because of a person's faith or country of origin. 

Thank you, @FoxNews. No one’s commitment to our constitution should be questioned because of their faith or country of birth. https://t.co/haqm7NWRw0
