Two Fox commentators – Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash – have been suspended for using profanity to blast President Obama’s terrorism speech from the Oval Office. Meanwhile, Donald Trump asked, “is that all?” Peters, a Fox News strategic analyst, claimed that Obama was a “total pu—y,” while the Clueless actress said POTUS “didn’t give a sh–.”
A pair of Fox commentators have been suspended for using words like pussy and sh*t to describe President Barack Obama‘s major national security Oval Office address on Sunday night. GOP front-runner Donald Trump, who live-tweeted the speech concluded by asking, “is that all?”
In a statement issued by Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine, it was revealed that two Fox commentators have been suspended indefinitely. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, who is a Fox News strategic analyst, appeared on Monday’s episode of Fox Business’ Varney & Co. with host Stuart Varney where he had the following to say about Obama:
“Look, Mr. President! We’re not afraid, we’re angry! We’re pissed off, we’re furious! We want you to react! We want you to do something! You’re afraid!. This guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning.”
Varney tried to calm Peters down by saying that he understood that he was “super angry,” but reminded him not to use the “sexual slur.” Varney said:
“I can tell you are super angry, and I asked you for your reaction, but you can’t use language like that on the program.”
Peters never apologized and kept slamming Obama. Few hours later, actress and former Mitt Romney supporter Stacey Dash was featured on Fox News’ Outnumbered, and she delivered an epic rant. The Fox News contributor said Obama lacked passion while talking about the country. Dash angrily said:
“It’s ridiculous. His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to a dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that’s what it felt like. he was just trying to get through it because he wanted to go to this event afterwards.”
She added:
“I did not feel any better. I didn’t feel any passion from him, like you said Andrea. I felt like he could give a shit– excuse me, like he could care less. he could care less! And here we have fourteen people dead.”
Peters’ profanity was censored, but not Dash’s words. The type of language used by the two Fox News pundits got them suspended, according to Bill Shine, who said:
“Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air. Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks,”
Fox News journalist Howard Kurtz, who hosts the weekend media analysis program MediaBuzz also slammed Peters and Dash for their “crude language on the air,” and added that they were embarrassing the network. Donald Trump live-tweeted the speech and he concluded by saying, “is that all?”
