Lou Dobbs: Trump should 'declare a national emergency and simply sweep aside the recalcitrant left'
On Fox News tonight, unofficial Trump spokesperson and noted racist Lou Dobbs went full fascist.
Lou Dobbs said on tonight's broadcast that President Donald Trump has to "declare a national emergency, and simply sweep aside the recalcitrant left in this country," because "They have obstructed, resisted and subverted for far too long."
LOU DOBBS (HOST): In all seriousness here, you said that you would prefer -- you implied, at least, you would prefer he not declare a national emergency. I think it's the only way forward here. He is -- otherwise, there's not going to be a solution.
...
But I really believe that the way forward here is for him to declare a national emergency, and simply sweep aside the recalcitrant left in this country. They have -- They have obstructed, resisted and subverted for far too long.
"A solution."
Is that your FINAL solution, Lou Dobbs?
