Fired Fox News host Bob Beckel blasted Dr. Sebastian Gorka on Twitter hours after the former Trump White House aide slammed Barack Obama for taking credit for the Trump economic boom.
“[Obama’s] whole eight-year presidency was an embarrassment when it comes to everything from the economy to national security,” Gorka said on Fox & Friends. “Most Americans can see through it and have had enough of the divisive identity politics.”
Beckel, a lifelong liberal and former Democratic strategist, reacted by tweeting: “As always, Seb Gorka is dumb and full of horsesh*t.”

Gorka responded by saying he was surprised by Beckel’s jabs because he thought Beckel — a self-professed former alcoholic and drug addict — was dead.
“Clearly he’s not dead, given that this is typical of his rhetorical acumen,” Gorka retorted. “No wonder you totally fell off the radar and ended up under the table.”

Hours earlier, Beckel mocked President Trump for saying he found Obama’s recent speech so dull that he fell asleep during it.
Beckel responded by saying Trump should listen more to Obama otherwise “he’ll remain the worst prez in history.”
Trump said he slept thru Obama speech. Good thing if he listened he might learn how 2 b better Pres But Trump doesn’t listen 2 anyone so he’ll remain worst prez in history

At this point, few people in the media (or elsewhere) take Bob Beckel seriously.
As BizPac Review previously reported, Beckel was fired by Fox News (for the second time) in May 2017 amid allegations he made a racist remark at a black IT staffer.
Ironically, Beckel had just returned to Fox News five months earlier (in January 2017) after being fired for the first time in June 2015 following his self-admitted battles with alcoholism and drug abuse.

Beckel was one of the original co-hosts of “The Five” and a vocal anti-Trumper whose leftist views annoyed millions of Fox News viewers. The former Democratic strategist also repeatedly clashed with his co-hosts.
One of Beckel’s most memorable rants occurred in February 2017, when he got into a heated exchange with guest co-host Tucker Carlson, during which he accused President Trump of lying about the Muslim crime wave in Sweden.
Shortly afterward, riots broke out in a Muslim ghetto in Rinkeby, Sweden.

Obama superfans are trying to discredit the Trump economic boom by claiming Obama was responsible for it, all while ignoring that the Obama administration was the first to never have a whole year of 3% growth.
Obama even mocked President Trump, saying he’s dreaming if he thinks he can get more than 3% economic growth.
D’oh!
