Fox News commentators suspended for calling Obama a ‘total p****’ and saying he ‘could give a s***’ while discussing his speech on terrorism

Two Fox News contributors have been suspended for using inappropriate language about President Barack Obama while discussing his speech on terrorism in two separate incidents.

The contributors, former U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and actress Stacey Dash, were each ordered off the AIR for two weeks.


The suspensions come after Peters was on air and called Obama a ‘total p****’ before Dash later appeared in a program saying the president ‘could give a s***.’

Bill Shine, senior executive vice president of programming at Fox, said in a statement released to Daily Mail Online that both cases the language ‘was completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air.’

‘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,’ Shine said.

‘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.’

Peters was appearing on a Fox Business Network program hosted by Stuart Varney when he was asked his reaction to the president’s speech and said he didn’t like it.

His comments were not bleeped out, according to CNN.

‘Well, first of all he keeps speaking about “we can’t give in to our fears.” You know, “don’t be afraid,’ he said.

‘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. I mean this guy is such a total p****, it’s stunning.’

After he finished his response, Varney said that while he could tell Peters was ‘super angry,’ he should not use such language which Peters responded with ‘I’m sorry.’
