Bob Beckel, the former co-host on Fox News’ The Five, appeared to put his foot in his mouth last night by tweeting a few things that look like they weren’t supposed to be made public.
Based on his tweets, it seems Beckel was trying to send a direct message to the host of The McLaughlin Group, Tom Rogan. According to The Daily Beast, Rogan has contacted Beckel about whether he’d like to be a guest on the show sometime.
As it were, Beckel ended up publicly tweeting his response to Rogan, saying Fox would interfere if he made an appearance. He also took a swing at his old show by saying its “getting a bit tired” compared to McLaughlin.
