Bob “Swear Jar” Beckel just can’t seem to control himself. To his credit, he didn’t drop any F-bombs live on air today, but he did manage to work the term “gang bang” into a segment on a proposed nudity ban in San Francisco. Do you think anyone noticed?
Bob Beckel on "The Five" just made a bizarre reference to "gang bang" on "The Five." Big day for cable news bloopers.

How Bob Beckel is not fired for suggesting nudists were "gangbanged as children", is beyond me. Is it racist to fire him too? #TheFive

After a commercial break, Beckel himself seemed surprised to be given the closing word, saying he suspected he was in “time-out.” Will anything Beckel says ever earn him a serious time-out? Perhaps a later time slot? The Ed McMahon role on Bill Maher’s HBO show?
Daddy, that man on TV said "Gang Bang", what is "Gang Bang"?. Beckel on @FNTheFive , strikes again.

Pack it up, shut it down. Beckel just said "gang bang."

Bob Beckel is a trip! He just used the term "gang bang" on TV but in the context of a "street gang." Producers admonished him anyway. LOL

Bob Beckel is like the Joe Biden of The Five…

No! One Joe Biden is plenty, thanks.
