Matt Gaetz Says He Knows “Who Pulled The Trigger” On Firing Lou Dobbs
Red Voice Media ^ | 09/02/2021 | Wayne Dupree

It’s really no secret that Fox News today is nowhere near the Fox News of 2016.

Once Roger Ailes left, the whole thing went to hell in a hand-basket.

But the worst thing that happened, was adding that snake, Paul Ryan to the Fox board.

I don’t think they could have found a more anti-America First globalist if they tried.

And now, Matt Gaetz, who recently launched a new podcast, announced who was behind the firing of popular Fox host Lou Dobbs.

And you guessed it…It’s that snake, Paul Ryan.

Bizpaceview reported on what Gaetz said:

“One of my favorite shows on the Fox platform was ‘Lou Dobbs Tonight.’ Sweet, sweet Lou, like America’s angry uncle, politically incorrect sometimes, red in the face and usually right about stuff,” Gaetz continued.

He then played a montage of Dobbs relentlessly bashing Ryan as a “RINO.”

“Now that Paul Ryan has concentrated power at Fox News, Lou Dobbs is no longer on air. He can’t guide the populist right away from the invade everywhere, invite everyone version of Republicanism that sells out to K Street and abandons Main Street,” the congressman then said.

Dobbs was ousted in February a day after the election systems company Smartmatic filed a pre-planned $2.7 billion lawsuit against Fox Corp. that named Dobbs as one of several hosts who’d allegedly “irreparably harmed” its reputation by accusing it of committing election fraud.

In a statement, a spokesperson claimed at the time that the discussions over ending the Fox Business Network host’s show had preceded the suit.

“As we said in October, Fox News Media regularly considers programming changes and plans have been in place to launch new formats as appropriate post-election, including on Fox Business. This is part of those planned changes. A new 5 p.m. program will be announced in the near future,” the spokesperson reportedly said.

Nobody really believed them then, and neither goes Gaetz.

“Paul Ryan never used his considerable power as speaker for Trump’s wall or other key immigration reforms, but he was able to use his power at Fox News to cancel the great Lou Dobbs,” he said, concluding the part of the podcast about Ryan.

[[[GET ON GETTR]]]

Fox News has shown time and time again that they’re not our friend. As a matter of fact, they’re much more dangerous and hurtful to our cause than CNN or MSNBC combined.

When will Tucker Carlson be fired? Has he been vaccinated? Vaccination is a requirement for continued employment at Fox.

Mike Lindell said on a OAN interview that people need to just stop watching Fox. They need to be gone.

There would be no joe biden if it were not for fox and 13 US serviceman would still be alive. Foxnews did this. They gave us joe biden. Never forget.

Nehlen turned out to be kind of sketchy, but I thoroughly enjoyed campaigning against Paul Ryan in his district in his last primary, ripping him for supporting the TPP. Almost everyone at every house agreed that Ryan was out of touch. The Nehlen campaign must have been getting some traction, as internal polls showed, because Ryan dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into last-weekend smears.

At least TPP died the death it deserved—in no small part due to that primary.

Imagine if Romney and Ryan had won the presidency and Vice presidency in 2012. Would the period from 2013-2017 been any different from how it was under Obama?

1) Obamacare - would not have been repealed (no change)
2) Border enforcement - no change from Obama’s policies
3) Welfare state - fully funded. No change from Obama
4) Perpetual wars in the Middle East and elsewhere - no change
5) Globalist trade agreements and export of US jobs/technology to China - no change
6) Spying on American citizens - no change
7) Increasing national debt - no change

It is hard to envision how a Romeny/Ryan administration would have been different from a Clinton, Bush or Obama administration. Same policies.

"…It’s that snake, paul ryan."

Truly an insult to compare a low life riffraff like paul ryan to snakes.

Is it also the fine hand of Ryan insuring that another weasel, Lindsey Graham, is close to being a permanent fixture on Hannity's show almost every night?

Hmmm?

Tucker has 4.3 million viewers each night, the Fox Business network is lucky to get 50,000 in prime time. That’s a no brainer.

RINO’s are ALL owned. Lock, stock, and barrel by corporate interests. Their bank accounts are padded nicely by people who have no interest whatsoever in America or Americanism. They are purely driven by self-interest and that self-interest is exclusively, what can they make them the most money. Period.
There is NO Patriotism involved whatsoever. They could not possibly care less about such a quaint concept. They are NOT Americans. They are simply self-interested money-grubbers.
Donald Trump was/is an EXTREME THREAT to their self-serving interests so the entirety of the Gov’t Whore Establishment mobilized against him and all those of any influence who support him.
The fact that Lou was the only one fired tells you all you need to know about those who remain.

Well, Fox News should have thought of that when they drew the line in the sand.

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are why we don’t have a finished fence.

McCain and Romney never had any intention of winning.
They were both willing, intentional Designated Losers.

And dont forget that one of Ryan’s most trusted friends was/is Mike Pence. Both were setting up to run together as president and vice president in 2016 before Trump became the obvious leader.

Looks as if Ryan has aspirations of running for 2024 as well, but this should not be a surprise to anyone:

Paul Ryan fooled a lot of people….but his overly friendly alliance with Luis Gutierrez, former Democrat Congressman from a gerrymandered district in Illinois, really baffled me. Pictures of them at Democrat events set my antenna buzzing. When he refused to help Trump, I was depressed. I was beginning to see the light. I remembered in the Vice Presidential debate with Biden, he let Biden run all over him. Humiliate him…and us. At that point I was still in their corner. But it was all a charade. Romney wasn’t running for POTUS and Ryan was playing Let’s Pretend. All the effort that went into trying to get them elected was wasted because Obama already had the voting apparatus in place.
I don’t watch FoxNews. I read instead. I also can’t make myself trust Tucker Carlson as far as I can throw him.

Remember Benghazi.

That’s what the globalists do! You can vote democrat, if you’re stupid enough. You can vote republican, if you’re stupid enough. It won’t make ANY difference! In either case the globalists get their way and our “liberty” goes the way of the dodo bird.
