Bob Beckel, a Democratic strategist and former co-host of "The Five," has died at age 73.
Beckel first joined Fox News in 2000 as a contributor providing political analysis and rejoined the network in 2011 as one of the original hosts of "The Five."
Columnist Cal Thomas posted on Facebook about Beckel's death.
When "The Five" premiered in July 2011, it was only supposed to have a five-week run to temporarily fill the timeslot. Instead, the show stuck around and has become one of the highest-rated shows in all cable news.
Beckel was there during the inception of "The Five" with Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld, who still co-host the long-running program.
In 2015, he briefly joined CNN but later returned to "The Five" to continue his role as the show’s outspoken liberal. Fox News severed ties with Beckel in 2017.
Sean Hannity paid tribute to his "dear friend" Monday night, saying "he and I got along great" despite their politics, saying he "had a key to my house" and that Hannity's own children would call him "Uncle Bob."
"He was always full of joy, happiness, light, sunshine. He loved God and Jesus and we miss him already. God bless you, God speed, Bob Beckel," Hannity said.
Laura Ingraham called Beckel an "old-time liberal who you could fight with… but we always had a laugh afterward."

Isn’t he the one who hired a hooker while his wife was out of town once and paid her with a check? Poor Bob, he was a affable guy and I could tolerate him more than some of the others.
I wonder what got him?
WGAF
That’s the answer a Completely and Utterly Worthless person and FAKE Christian would give.
Congratulations :)
You’re officially a disgusting human being who I would not want anywhere near my life :)
ciao!

That’s what it was I remember he stepped in something big time. I thought he was a hard headed argumentative oaf but have avoided him for decades. 🤪

RIP
I knew of his relationship with Hannity, (Who also thinks that James CarVILE is one of the greatest guys on earth) That Laura Ingraham and Cal Thomas counted him among their friends makes me think so much less of them too.
Just because someone is affable and will stand for an occasional round of drinks at the bar doesn’t mean that they aren’t Servants of Evil
Back with a vengeance. Love it.
An odd relationship, but Cal was the brains.
Bob was a fighter and it seems now that he had a bigger fight than we could understand. No matter what it was, he lost.
73 is a long life if you have to fight crudely.
At least he was vaxed and boosted.
Tiffany was blackmailing him.
Beckel could have been a contender!
Death got him...........
Trying really hard..
it tells me that such people are not trustworthy in their beliefs.....
you either believe in right or wrong or you don't...
so many of our "conservative" speaking heads seem to be snakes in disguise..
