Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro said it’s time for Rosie O’Donnell to “put on her big girl pants” and accept the fact that Donald Trump is the legitimately elected president.
On her program Justice on Saturday, Pirro also called on Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., to live up to the constitutional responsibilities of his office and stop attacking the legitimacy of Trump’s win.

The judge spent the majority of her “Opening Statement” segment hammering O’Donnell for her recent tweets saying the inauguration should be delayed and “martial law” imposed until the “charges” against Trump are cleared.

“Are you nuts?” Pirro queried. “Do you even know what martial law is? It’s when the military takes over when we’re invaded and we’re at war.”

“By the way, Trump isn’t charged with anything,” she added.
“And you call Trump mentally unstable?” the judge continued. “Since when are you the bastion of brilliant behavior? Why don’t you put on your big girl pants and come to grips with the fact that Donald Trump is your next president…”
Pirro suggested if O’Donnell and other Hollywood liberals did not like the election results to campaign harder next time. In the mean time, “You lost. We won. Swallow your pride. Get in line. Stop thinking you’re so damn important. That the world has to stop and listen to your revolutionary nonsense. Your candidate didn’t cut the mustard. Donald J. Trump is the president for the next four years. Deal with it!”

The judge offered similar advice to civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, who told NBC News last week, “I don’t see the president-elect as a legitimate president.”
“Pray tell, Congressman Lewis, what’s not legitimate?” Pirro asked. “Donald Trump won by a large electoral college margin and in spite of efforts to do a recount… nothing changed.”
“Are you not a part of our democracy? Do you not want a peaceful transition of power? Did you not take an oath to support the Constitution, including Article II that created the Electoral College? You, a Congressman for 30 years, know how to amend the Constitution if you don’t like it.”
