Despite his personal demons, I always felt he was 'the smartest guy in the room'.

I loved Beckel too. He was one of those old school guys who could keep his job separate from his personal feelings about people. He always made me laugh so hard.

I've never heard of him either. RIP to whoever he is. Godspeed.

I enjoyed him on The Five. I read he died from a brain hemorrhage in his sleep. RIP

Thank you for posting this thread @hckynutjohn 

 

I haven't seen Bob Beckel in ages.  I always enjoyed watching The Five with him on it.  Like you, I didn't agree with what he said either .. however, I felt he was "true to his words & feelings."  This is sad news.

 

My condolences to his Family & Friends.  Heart
