Here’s a little anecdote about Beckel. I think his bluster is an act. years ago, when the great Tony Snow, Rest his soul, was alive he and I were friends and spoke often. This was during his media career, not White House. Anyway, I asked him who his favorite liberal was. Without missing a beat he answered Bob Beckel. I think he is a much different person than what he presents on the air.
See my post above about Beckel & alcoholism—and faith.
Tony Snow was also a very committed evangelical Christian.
I’m originally from the DC area, and starting about 12 years ago or so, I routinely saw Beckel and Thomas sitting together in Church. I believe both still do...but I’m in NC now.
I heard Beckel’s story about committing his life to Christ (that happened in late ‘90s or early ‘00s I believe).
They were always friendly to other church goers... rule was though, NO political discussions at church!!!
