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?
