<p>On Friday, Bob Beckel, a co-host of Fox News’ <em>The Five, </em> was fired because he made an inappropriate remark to a black employee of the network. According to <em><a href="http://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-fires-bob-beckel-making-racist-comment/">The Wrap</a></em>, on Tuesday evening Fox News Human Resources department was informed of what Beckel had said, prompting an investigation that determined he should be immediately fired.</p>
<p>According to Douglas Wigdor, the attorney who represents the employee as well as 23 people who have filed a class-action suit against 21st Century Fox for reputed racial discrimination, Beckel “stormed out of his office” after a black IT employee tried to fix his computer; Beckel allegedly said he exited the office “because he is black.” Wigdor stated that Beckel “attempted to intimidate our client and persuade him to withdraw his complaint.”</p>
<p>In March, Kevin Lord, Fox News’ Executive Vice President of Human Resources, <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-orders-sensitivity-training-employees-oreilly-sexual-harassment-scandal/">ordered</a> staffers to attend a one-hour sensitivity training session after accusations of sexual harassment were made against Fox host Bill O’Reilly.</p>
<p>Beckel has been fired by Fox before; in 2011 he was fired over “personal issues” because he had missed work because he was in rehab for use of painkillers. Bill Shine, then Fox News&#8217; executive vice president of programming, <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/19/media/fox-news-fires-bob-beckel-insensitive-remark-black-employee/">said</a> Fox refused to be held &#8220;hostage&#8221; to his &#8220;personal issues,&#8221; adding, &#8220;He took tremendous advantage of our generosity, empathy and goodwill and we simply came to the end of the road with him.” Beckel himself <a href="http://thehill.com/media/314470-bob-beckel-returns-to-fox-news-as-co-host-of-the-five">confessed,</a> &#8220;I&#8217;m a recovering addict and cocaine was my drug of choice.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went to work <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/cnn-hires-former-fox-news-host-bob-beckel/">at CNN</a>, but rejoined Fox earlier this year.</p>
<p>Beckel was the campaign manager for Walter Mondale’s 1984 presidential campaign.</p>
