Commentator Lou Dobbs has died at the age of 78. Trump is sad about his death and calls him a “incredible talent.”

 

People knew Dobbs for the controversial things he said about Barack Obama.

SAVINGS-LIKE The political commentator Lou Dobbs has died. He was 78 years old.

 

On Thursday, hours before he was supposed to give his acceptance speech on the last night of the Republican National Convention, Trump said that Dobbs had died.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The Great Lou Dobbs has just passed away.”

“A friend and a truly amazing reporter, journalist, and artist.” He knew more about the world and what was “happening” than most people.

“Lou was one of a kind, and he loved our country.” We’re very sorry for his wonderful wife Debi’s loss and for their whole family. We will miss him a lot.

The cause of death was not given right away.

Before working at Fox News and CNN, Dobbs was a reporter for the Arizona radio station KBLU, where he covered police and fire cases.

Around the middle of the 1970s, he switched to working in television and joined NBC’s King-TV in Seattle.

Dobbs was also one of the first reporters to work for CNN when Ted Turner started the network in 1980.

He joined as the show’s chief economics correspondent and host of the business news show Moneyline.

While working at CNN, Dobbs spread the controversial idea that Barack Obama, who was running for president at the time, was not born in the United States.

Dobbs quit CNN in 2009 because his coverage and controversial stories about illegal immigrants made things worse between him and the network’s leaders.

He got his late-night show, Lou Dobbs Tonight, when he joined Fox Business at the end of 2010.

His time at Fox ended, though, when the network cancelled his show in 2021.

Fox News Media told The U.S. Sun that they were sorry for Dobbs’ family’s loss.

It breaks our hearts to hear about Lou Dobbs’s death. The network called him “an amazing businessman with a gift for broadcasting.”

“Lou helped make cable news a successful and important business.”

“We are immensely grateful for his many contributions and send our heartfelt condolences to his family.”

Deborah Dobbs, his wife, and his six children will miss him.
