Former Congressman Alan West quickly rose to political fame, and eventually came crashing back down, due to his outspoken nature and controversial choice of words. Now, his notably sharp tongue may have cost him yet another job.
According to a report on the website Buzzfeed.com, West is leaving his job with a conservative media company shortly after an alleged nasty exchange with a coworker.
The site quotes an anonymous source who claims West yelled at a female coworker telling her to "shut up" and calling her a "Jewish American Princess." Perhaps coincidentally, it was announced shortly thereafter that West would be leaving PJ Media.

West had only been with the conservative media company since this past January and had been hired to act as director of programming for its web-based video channel. He also contributed as a blogger for the company's news and opinion site.
