      Lou Dobbs Accuses Bill Barr of Being ‘Compromised’ and Part of the ‘Deep State’

      DEAD TO ME

      This came hours after the attorney general said there was no evidence of widespread, election-changing fraud in the 2020 race.

      Fox Business Network host and top Donald Trump sycophant Lou Dobbs was absolutely beside himself on Tuesday over the news that Attorney General William Barr said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the election results. Dobbs even accused Trump’s loyal A.G. of being part of the “deep state” and “perhaps compromised.”

      The pro-Trump TV personality, who has been one of the loudest boosters of the president’s baseless “rigged” election narrative, kicked off his program Tuesday evening by erupting at the attorney general for admitting the Justice Department has been unable to find any proof to back Trump’s claims that President-elect Joe Biden “stole” the election.

      Grumbling that Barr has “been absent for weeks,” Dobbs insisted that the president’s legal team is “making advances” in the “battle for the White House” while reassuring his viewers that the campaign’s beyond-longshot lawsuits will “bolster President Trump’s charge that there has been clear electoral fraud.”

      Dobbs went on to complain that while the president’s “progress” in his quest to claim victory in the election has put him at odds with “insidious RINOs” and the “deep state,” a member of Trump’s “own cabinet appeared to join in with the radical Dems and the deep state and the resistance.”

      Seething at Barr’s remarks about the lack of evidence of voter fraud, Dobbs—who also serves as an informal Trump adviser—blasted the attorney general in an extremely personal manner.

      “For the attorney general of the United States to make that statement, he is either a liar or a fool or both,” he exclaimed. “He may be, um, perhaps compromised. He may be simply unprincipled. Or he may be personally distraught or ill!”

      The Fox Business host would go on to cite the various conspiracies and unfounded allegations that Trump and his legal team have peddled, despite the fact that the president’s legal challenges have repeatedly been laughed out of court and states continue to certify their votes.

      Undeterred throughout the broadcast, however, Dobbs continued to hold out hope that somehow the president would still be in the White House come January 21. At one point, in fact, he even introduced a new player into the nefarious international conspiracy that already involves dead Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez flipping Trump votes to Biden via corrupt voting software.

      “And I just want to ask you, could it be that antifa was running the election for the Democrats in that building? Because it sounded like antifa tactics,” Dobbs asked a former Michigan state senator attempting to challenge the election.
