Last Monday, Fox suspended two of their regular commentators, including a retired Army lieutenant colonel who called US President Barack Obama "a total pu**y."
In a statement issued by the network Monday afternoon, Fox said it has suspended Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and former actress Stacey Dash for using profane language on 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," Fox's Senior Executive Vice President of Programming Bill 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."
During a stint on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Co.", Peters, who is a noted Republican, reacted on President Obama's Oval Office address on terrorism. Clearly, the retired army officer was displeased.
"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!" Lt. Col. Peters called out.
He continued, "You're afraid! I mean, this guy is such a total pu**y, it's stunning!"
Fox Business commentator Stuart Varney immediately jumped in and asked Peters to watch his language. Varney said, "I can tell you are super angry and I asked you what your reaction was, but I got to call you, you can't use language like that on the program."
Dash, a contributor on Fox News Channel, also took a jab on Obama saying that he didn't "give a sh*t" about terrorism.
The actress, best known for her performance in the 1990s series "Clueless," said on FOX's Outnumbered, "It's ridiculous. His speech was an epic fail. It was like when you have to go to dinner with your parents, but you have a party to go to afterwards, that's what it felt like."
She added, "I did not feel any better. I didn't feel any passion from him. I felt like he could give a s**t, excuse me, like he could care less."
Lt. Col. Peters apologized for his use of language while Dash took to social media saying she will gladly pay for the consequences of her actions.
