Fox News Fires ‘The Five’ Co-Host Bob Beckel Over Racist Comment
Variety ^ | 05/19/2017 | Brian Steinberg

Fox News Channel is parting ways – again – with Bob Beckel, the co-host of its primetime program, “The Five.”

“Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee,” the network said in a statement.

The dismissal opens – or perhaps closes – another chapter in an off-and-on relationship Beckel has had with the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet over the years. Beckel, a longtime political consultant as well as a former campaign manager for Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale, joined Fox News in 2000, and had a years-long tenure on “The Five” when it aired in the late afternoon. Indeed, he was one of the program’s original co-hosts.

That's pretty funny. I never like Bob, but I guess he'll be remembered for his Jimmy the Greek moment.

Nice start, now dump Dana the Bush hemorrhoid, and the snide little dweeb and it might be worth watching.

They’ll probably hire another Harf to replace him. Can’t have enough liberals on the air these days, it seems...

Couldn’t have happened to a more racist pig. May the sun never shine for that POS ever again. Rot in Hell. The world will be a better place without him and racists and bigots like him.

Now get rid of Juan Williams, Geraldo, Ezeikiel Emanual, and Krauthammer and they might be worth watching a bit.

He was ranting on the Chinese hackers, how they go to our school and live here, then go home hack us.

He called the “Chinamen”.

I’ve seen him a few times and just don’t like the guy. You have to twist the truth so much to be a liberal. The only thing that drives a liberal is their hatred for conservatives.

It’s been evident for months that his elevator doesn’t go to the top floor any more — if it ever did. Besides that, he’s a mean person. Besides that, he’s a Democrat.

If he ever had a filter between his brain and his mouth, it’s long gone.

He probably said, “What’s the matter you? You not supposed to be a right winger! Go get me some coffee!”
