Lou Dobbs is and was great, Mr. Trump said in a statement on Friday after the news of Mr. Dobbss departure. Nobody loves America more than Lou. He had a large and loyal following that will be watching closely for his next move, and that following includes me.

Mr. Dobbs was named in a lawsuit filed this week by the election technology company Smartmatic against Rupert Murdochs Fox Corporation, Fox News, and two other Fox anchors, Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro.
The suit, which seeks damages of at least $2.7 billion, cited a false claim, made on a November episode of Mr. Dobbss show on Fox Business, that Hugo Chávez, the deceased president of Venezuela, had a hand in the creation of Smartmatic technology, designing it so that the votes it processed could be changed undetected. (Mr. Chávez, who died in 2013, did not have anything to do with Smartmatic.)

(25,457 posts)Of the three named in the lawsuit, he's probably the biggest profile.
He's also on Fox Business as opposed to News, so that might be another reason for the quick trigger. They try to pretend that they're slightly more legitimate.
