Fox News host Bob Beckel says nudists 'probably gang-banged during childhood'

Fox News host Bob Beckel says nudists 'probably gang-banged during childhood' as San Francisco outlaws public nudity

A Fox News panelist caused his co-hosts to squirm today as he implied that sexual assault was to blame for why San Francisco's nudists prefer to live their lives in the buff.

During today's live broadcast of The Five, Bob Beckel was seated with the usual hosts as they weighed the issue of the proposed nudity ban in San Francisco.

Dana Perino sparked a debate when she inquired of her cohorts: 'What happened to these people as children that they don’t want to wear any clothes?'

While his stunned co-hosts cringed, Beckel added: 'I don’t know - they could have had sexual assault on them.'

Equally stunned were viewers who took to Twitter to voice their outrage over Beckel's comments.

Why the assumption that something happened to them as children?

the only thing that would explain it was physical, psychological or sexual abuse as a child.

Anytime that someone is nude, everyone around them must have the uncontrollable urge to rape them. Ergo, if these nudists were nude as children, they were obviously gang raped as children. Also, since everyone knows that getting raped turns one into a liberal slut, and that sluts like to get naked constantly, all of these raped kids turned into nudists as adults.

sexually assaulted. I find going nude in appropriate places just another choice of dress. I also like wearing cotton clothes.
Social nudism has enriched my life.
If the San Fran nudes were beautiful I doubt there would be a problem.
