This is unconstitutional censorship of the truth! Thanks Marxist Kamala!! P.S. CNN not holding back on the schadenfreude. Everything about that company disgusts me. McNews for the masses.
There are quite a few white men over 60 ranting and raving that they knew **** would hit the fan with a Harris/Biden presidency and removing Lou Dobbs is just the start. The illegals win again... oh well time to commit a hate crime.
I can't see how the "ignore what [these lunatics] say and [they]'ll go away" crowd can willingly repeat this when people like Lou Dobbs are ranting and raving on TV. Does it really take billion dollar lawsuits to clean this **** up? ALL OF THIS is news to me...maybe not news for the millions of gullible bobbleheads stockpiling ammo for the next Purge. https://www.thedailybeast.com/lou-dobbs-most-unhinged-and-sycophantic-moments Throughout former President Donald Trump’s tenure, nobody—not even at Fox—could top Dobbs when it came to heaping praise upon the 45th president. Perhaps the best example of this occurred in Sept. 2019, when Dobbs ended a Friday broadcast with a “Dear Leader” signoff that would have made the North Korean Pink Lady blush. “Have a great weekend,” Dobbs beamed, adding: “The president makes such a thing possible for us all.” Dobbs literally crediting Trump for inventing weekends came just days after he attempted to refute reports of turmoil and in-fighting at the Trump administration, gleefully exclaiming: “There’s sunshine beaming throughout the place, and on almost every face. It’s winner central at the White House and the president is at the top of his game.” (To be fair, on very rare occasions, Dobbs did find it in him to mildly criticize Trump. But mostly for things like not being anti-immigrant enough for the xenophobic host.) “We Have a Devil of a Time Finding Actual Proof” As stated above, Fox is currently in legal hot water partly because of Dobbs’ insistence on pushing the “Big Lie” that the presidential election was “stolen” from Trump. Weeks after Fox forced Dobbs to run a stunning fact-check on-air debunking the lies he’d made about voting machines defrauding the election, the Fox Business host wouldn’t let go the hope that Trump could still overturn the election. Sadly, he said, the evidence of any actual fraud was getting in the way. “We’re eight weeks from the election, and we still don’t have verifiable, tangible support for the crimes that everyone knows were committed — that is, defrauding other citizens who voted with fraudulent votes,” he grumbled. “We know that’s the case in Nevada, we know it’s the case in Pennsylvania and a number of other states, but we have had a devil of a time finding actual proof. Why?” Two days later, thousands of MAGA supporters incited by Trump violently stormed the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory. Bill Barr Is Part of the ‘Deep State’ There was one rule above all with Dobbs: If you don’t have Trump’s back 100 percent of the time, you are the enemy. Weeks after Trump’s decisive election loss, and after dozens of his futile election challenges had been laughed out of court, then-Attorney General Bill Barr publicly said the Justice Department had found no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the election results. This, as you could imagine, did NOT sit well with Dobbs, who immediately accused Trump’s attorney general of being part of the “Deep State.” “For the attorney general of the United States to make that statement, he is either a liar or a fool or both,” he further exclaimed. “He may be, um, perhaps compromised. He may be simply unprincipled. Or he may be personally distraught or ill!” Dobbs’ Anti-Semitic Attacks on George Soros Throughout his time at Fox, Dobbs and his guests regularly took aim at liberal philanthropist George Soros with barely veiled anti-Semitic tropes and outright bigoted attacks. In 2018, for instance, the network banned Judicial Watch’s Chris Farrell from its airwaves after he told Dobbs that migrant caravans from Central America were funded by the “Soros-occupied State Department.” Trumpist attorney Joe diGenova also found himself persona non grata at Fox over comments he made about Soros on Dobbs’ show in Nov. 2019, accusing the Jewish financier of controlling “a very large part of the career foreign service of the United States State Department.” Dobbs himself, meanwhile, employed the insidious “puppet masters” and “tentacles” tropes to smear Soros in Sept. 2019, drawing the ire of the Anti-Defamation League. “To see his tentacles reach out into various non-government organizations and nonprofits that are working with everything from the Koch Brothers to the Southern Poverty Law Center,” Dobbs sneered. “It is stunning to see how pervasive and how successful he has been with his strategy.” Dobbs Warns There Will Not Be a ‘Quiet Surrender’ In a moment that seems chilling in retrospect, the Trump sycophant raised the temperature to a near boiling point last December as he continued to demand that Biden’s free and fair election, which the president won by over 7 million votes, be tossed aside so Trump could stay in office. “This is fraud, this is a politically corrupt Justice Department in Washington, D.C., a politically corrupt FBI, and I don’t know whether he’s a dullard, a fool or a liar, but the attorney general of this country is not enforcing the law,” Dobbs seethed on Dec. 2. “And I don't know what he thinks he’s presiding over, but it will not, I guarantee William Barr this, it will not be a quiet surrender of this constitutional republic. Not in Michigan, not anywhere in this country!” Many Trump supporters did not quietly surrender the election a month later.
Look on the bright side, Lou, now that you're not on tv think of all the money you'll save on facelifts and hair dye.
Was Lou Dobbs always this crazy? I have memories of him being a fairly conventional talk show host on CNN way back, but I guess I didn't regularly watch his show.
OAN and Newsmax are touching themselves with anticipation. He'll have a gig at one of the hard-core alternate reality channels in a week.
This isn’t an act from Lou Dobbs, these are his true beliefs and his beliefs existed long before Trump. What has not been discussed much is that Steve Bannon is the founder of the Trump ideology. Bannon already had developed a nativist, anti immigration, anti trade platform. Bannon met with a number of people to lead the movement before Trump. The person that Bannon met with and shared the most values with was Lou Dobbs. They met a number of times and Bannon decided he was a perfect match to lead the party. Bannon offered Dobbs his support to run for President. Dobbs considered it and decided he was too old. Dobbs did suggest that Bannon meet with Trump. The rest is history. So all the ass kissing by Dobbs is genuine.
Lou Dobbs claims that he went from being a main stream political person with moderate political views and became a populist that is anti Latino immigration after 9/11. After 9/11 he left CNN for two years trying to do a start up populist website and news site that failed. He then returned to CNN and started getting in trouble for voicing his anti immigration beliefs on the air. CNN tried to reign him in and he asked for his contract release. He then went to Fox and was allowed to speak more freely until he went too far. He is a political extremist. I wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up running for political office now. He is really worried the populist movement is going to go away without more leadership.
