Fox’s Lou Dobbs Apologizes For Doxxing Trump Accuser

Posted by Ellen -7841.60pc on October 13, 2016 · Flag

In a desperate effort to help Donald Trump in the wake of the latest devastating sexual abuse allegations, Lou Dobbs tweeted a Trump accuser’s home address and phone number as part of an effort to smear her. He has since apologized and deleted the tweet.

The effort from this ardent Trump supporter to smear Trump accuser Jessica Leeds was caught by Politico:

Dobbs linked to a post from a conservative news site that purported to link Leeds to the Clinton Foundation. The site published Leeds’ address and phone number — taken from public records — and then claimed, falsely, that her phone number is the same as a phone number for the Clinton Foundation.

He also quoted a tweet from a Trump supporter, which has since been deleted, that included Leeds’ phone number and address.

As Mediaite reported, the tweet remained on Dobbs’ timeline for two hours and was retweeted hundreds of times. It also engendered quite a backlash.

Now Dobbs has apologized. But who knows what damage has been done?

Warp Resident,

That makes sense. I’m not sure it makes a difference to Ms. Leeds but I’ll give Dobbs some points for inadvertence.

Geeze Dobs, don’t make Trump look bad, he’s doing a stellar job defending himself without your ineptitude.

Have you noticed that Birther Lou’s dyed hair is the same color as Bildo O’Reilly and Orange Doughboy Trump? A muted Tangerine Sunset. Coincidence? I think not.

Just imagine if a LEGITIMATE network broadcast journalist had done that to a woman supporting Trump who’d made new allegations against Bill Clinton.

That journalist would be FIRED on the spot, even after publicly apologizing.

Dobbs, on the other hand, probably just ensured his next contract renewal.

I don’t think this was a deliberate doxxing on Lou Dobbs’ part. It was the Conservative Fake News’ fault. They were the ones that falsely stated the phone number belonged to the CF. Lou Dobbs is just an asshole, not an internet troll.

To his credit Lou Dobbs is remorseful. I’m pretty damned sure DT doesn’t wanna have anything to do in the White House. He wants to collect those campaign contributions and head for the Bahamas. Got as much presidential ambitions as a cat licking it’s nuts.

He’s always been deplorable enough for the main Faux channel, but he just didn’t look good in a mini-skirt. Shuffle him off to the Faux Business Home for the Bewildered.

On a positive note, Birther Lou didn’t try to grab Jessica by the p***y.

Lou should be sued to provide the woman with a new home to aid her safety.

I hope she’s safe. The only thing he regrets is that people held him accountable for it, or perhaps a lawyer told him he could be sued so quickly say you’re sorry.

Be fair Lou. Put your phone number and address for all to see.
