Fox's Lou Dobbs: GOP Senators Opposing Trump's Mexico Tariffs Are ‘Traitors' to Their Country
[Daily Beast] Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs tore into Senate Republicans Tuesday night for opposing President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexico, calling the GOP lawmakers "traitors" to their country who are threatening to destroy it."The Republican Party in the Senate appears, to me, to be on the verge of committing absolute suicide," the Trump-boosting conservative host exclaimed, just hours after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) acknowledged that there’s "not much support" in the GOP caucus for the president’s tariffs, which many believe will only hurt U.S. businesses. To Dobbs, however, disagreeing with the president is apparently nothing short of an existential crisis. "The tragedy is they may well take this great Republic down with them," he said. Still seething towards the end of the program, Dobbs brought on Fox News contributor Emily Compagno to discuss the Republicans’ warning to Trump. And he immediately began spouting off apocalyptic hyperbole. "This is, I think, one of the darkest moments that I have seen in our capital for a long time," he declared. "This is an abject betrayal on the part of Mitch McConnell." Posted by: Besoeker 2019-06-05 |
