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."
