A Fox News contributor quit his job and caused quite the commotion on his way out the door.
According to Buzzfeed, Ralph Peters, a retired US Army lieutenant colonel quit his job at Fox News on Tuesday.

In an email to his colleagues, Peters stated that he chose to not renew his contract and felt “compelled to explain” why he must leave.
He explained:
“Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to “support and defend the Constitution,” and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed.”
Later in his note, he touched on Fox’s treatment of Trump vs. Obama:
“As a Russia analyst for many years, it also has appalled me that hosts who made their reputations as super-patriots and who, justifiably, savaged President Obama for his duplicitous folly with Putin, now advance Putin’s agenda by making light of Russian penetration of our elections and the Trump campaign. Despite increasingly pathetic denials, it turns out that the “nothing-burger” has been covered with Russian dressing all along. And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true–that’s how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.”
While Peters is relatively unknown to many, Fox has lost some relatively more popular on-air talent for a variety of reasons in the past two years, including Bill O’Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Gretchen Carlson.
None of these departures have set Fox News back in the ratings. The network still maintains its spot as the number 1 basic cable network in terms of total viewers.

What a ridiculous man.. After all said and done he must feel like an absolute fool – after. 2 to 3 years investigating what did they prove about Trump?? Nothing! Hang your head in shame Peters
YOU ARE DEFINITELY RIGHT ABOUT THAT! THE OLD FOOL IS MORE LIKELY MAD OVER THAT FOX NEWS HASN’T HAD HIM ON THE AIR VERY MUCH THIS PAST YEAR! WE’LL PROBABLY BE SEEING HIM VERY SOON ON CNN BASHING TRUMP. LOL…
This is all The Left does, they have no brains or news to begin w/, attacking Trump is only ensuring his re-election. Take that to the bank!!
Another General that could never claim victory in a war. All the generals that Trump fired were in the same class ( a lot of talk but nothing to show in victories).
It appears Peters “worked” for Fox, but relied on the “lame stream hate PRESIDENT TRUMP media” for his “fake news fix”. This President has done more for this country in his first term, than the last FRAUD “occupier” of OUR oval office did in all 2 terms.
Both Peter’s and Bolton have proven to be swishy washy Obama yes men. Allowing treasonous acts right under their noses.
The Steele Dossier;” that’s how they do things”. Might be true; and if it is true; the intelligence community who crafted this dossier would know that also. It would be easy for them to create a fictional document that is “plausible”, but false !!
I bet he will go running in high speed to CNN to join the Trump haters club!
Yes, I think he will run Rats always run. He won’t even be any good as a rat. Lol
Peters wasn’t the brightest light globe in the package. He seemed to be ill prepared and constantly stuttered. I’m surprised he lasted this long on FOX. Good riddance.
Couldn’t have phrased it better myself!
LEE – Completely Agree!!!!!
Crazy, blind and stupid. There. I guess that says it all. See ya Peters.. Wouldn’t wanna be ya.
This happened over a year ago.
Yes, why are we dealing with very stale news…Peters quit long ago and good riddance.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. This man looks too old to be that dumb. About FOX I agree, but his words about our President are WAY WAY off base.
It’s sad when people become I’ll, and can no longer deal in reality. His service to our country is honorable, and is now suffer some major disillusion. Seek some help and live well.
All I could say is good ridden’s to this loyal Obama butt kisser Ralph Peters. He should have hung on for a while as Fox News has made a hard left turn and plenty of criticism for President Trump which has cost them dearly in viewership. But for a retired US Army lieutenant colonel to be up Obama’s butt and knock a loyal American President Trump who’s turned America back into America again, it’s hard to believe and I hope the door hit him in the ass on his way out.
He probably only left because he was offered more money elsewhere. Everything else you said is on point. Good call Oat 35.

With all those “ important” jobs, but retiring as an Lt. Col from the Army?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!
And, the timing of his “self-realization” sounds too Romney-like to me!! Sounds like 3rd string or Benchwarmer to me! Probably going to work for “Schiff for Brains”!
THIS PETERS HAS HATED TRUMP FROM THE BEGINNING & I THINK THE FOX STATION KNEW IT AS HE HAS NOT BEEN ON FOX A VERY LONG TIME……..IF HE SAID ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT TRUMP & HIS POLICIES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH A FORK TONGUE SO HE COULD STILL COLLECT A FEE FROM FOX BUT ITS VERY LIKELY HE HAS CONTRACTED WITH THE FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS OTHER WISE HE WOULD NOT HAVE QUIT FOX………..THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A HYPOCRITE & DISHONEST MAN FOR TAKING FOX MONIES & AT THE SAME TIME BEING A TRUMP HATER………
Agree, was not too swift anyway…CLOSET D.
OUR PRESIDENT NEVER CLAIMED TO BE A SAINT BUT HASN’T HE PROVED HIS VALUE? IF WE WANT POLITICALLY CORRECT, BRING BACK GEORGE BUSH OR BOB DOLE OR MITT. IS THAT WHAT WE NEED? I THINK NOT!
Peters has a huge ego and felt slighted at Fox, so…he took his ball and went home!
I hereby announce that I will not accept the N.Y Yankee’s offer to be their starting shortstop.
The last two sentences reveals his failure. The dossier is as false as the rest of Fox news and he has zero proof of Trump “being afraid” of Putin. There’s a big difference between being an intelligence professional and an intelligent professional.
Well, the Left got to him. Was it cash? Was it skeletons in his closet. Threats to him or his family? We’ll never know. But, just like John Roberts and others, they’ll get to you if you’ve screwed up in your life. Sad, but true.
Ol’ ralphie-boy got a hold of some that gooooooooood sh*t the antifa – blm’ers are putting out! Either that or he started back drinking his bathwater……. AGAIN! That must have been some check soros cut ol’ralphie – boy!
Peter sounds like he has a deep state gun at his head or at heads in his family.
He also sounds like he is locked in the 1960’s- Russia is Americas and the Worlds worst enemy.
We have the Clinton’s having profited for selling a third of Americas weaponizeable Uranium to the Russians and Peter is focused on Trump?
Peter is about as credible as Joe Biden.
The loss of Ralph Peters, retired US Army lieutenant colonel, is a good thing. The military-industrial complex is upset that Trump want to get the US out from endless wars. Military officers and munitions manufacturers survive on US wars and hate to see them end.
As to the “loss” of Ralph Peters: Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Glad to see him go. He has been a disgrace with his unwillingness to support America against our real adversaries while stopping endless wars. He has become a conspiracy theorist and really believes that the Steele report is true and that the state traitor of Obama is a national hero and patriot.
he quit years ago since then ive seen him once on tv
Peters is a communist traitor and has been his entire army career!
Good riddance to bad rubbish. The man was out of his element. It would seem he was promoted beyond his ability and potential. Kind of the Peter Principle at work.
Why is this making headlines when the story was filed in 2018? Just curious.
Ralph Peters? PretentiousPrick.
I never heard an intelligent conversation or discussion from Ralph Peters. I often wondered how he was able to have a career in our military. He was consistent though, he always disagreed with the President. He will probably find a comfortable home at CNN or like network.
Adios. I didn’t trust you from the moment you appeared on Fox. Always thought you were three stops behind relevance.
The Russia Hoax is being exposed big time … and this guy still believe it. Amazing.
I. Grew up as a Liberal and Democrat. Now I am ashamed of them. What the Democratic Party is working for is a Government by the Democrats for the Liberals. O thing else counts.
USFUL IDIOT BIG TIME
Oh please did we really take this guy seriously anyways? I knew right from the start he HATED Trump! So there’s nothing else to say.
Why isn’t there an edit button so when I make mistakes I can fix them and not look illiterate. Some things I can’t spell sadly and I rely on spell check darn it.
