Lou Dobbs Trashes McConnell for Republican Tariff Opposition
Mediaite ^ | June 5 2019 | Mediaite

Fox Business’ Lou Dobbs continued to rage at Senate Republicans tonight for the opposition being expressed by a number of GOP members to President Donald Trump‘s Mexico tariffs.

Mitch McConnell publicly said yesterday most of the conference would be opposed to the idea, and behind closed doors, a number of reports showed there was quite a bit of pushback in a meeting with administration officials.

Dobbs, after decrying the “traitors” yesterday, went back to calling out the “RINOs” today and saying they’re “destroying themselves” and maybe even the country too.

“The RINOs, the radical Dimms, all bringing the same tune, opposing the president and his policies on illegal immigration, a secure border. It is a national emergency,” Dobbs said. “And these RINOs and radical Dimms in effect aligning themselves with the heads of the major Mexican drug cartels.”

He encouraged people to call not just McConnell, but the Chamber of Commerce and a group funded by the Koch brothers.

The tariff on Mexico was nothing but a warning to meet. It worked!

The China tariffs in particular seem like a useful tool for exposing mcconnell’s corrupt dealings with that country. He must be in Feinstein country, financially, to be opposing the tariffs so much.

"Got to say this for Lou Dobbs, he strips off the kid gloves pretty quickly when he goes after RINOs of any stripe or coloration."

So, what was the deal with him having donna brazille on his show last nite (6/5/19)?? I saw that he warmly welcomed her, but I couldn't watch it - can't stand looking at her. How did he handle her?

They had to use the scrubs, second stringers, last night. The A list is in France.

Donna Brazille, unlike most RINOs, is perfectly honest about her open disagreement with most everything that Lou Dobbs sincerely believes in, and for that, Lou extends his admiration for her sheer chutzpah.

Shake hands and come out swinging. It made for a mildly amusing dance.

To think Dobbs was on CNN at one point.
