Former President Donald Trump was the primary to disclose the information, posting a tribute to his ally on social media.

Fox Information Media confirmed the information, saying in a press release: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Lou Dobbs. An incredible business mind with a gift for broadcasting, Lou helped pioneer cable news into a successful and influential industry.”
Dobbs was a staunch Trump supporter identified for his excessive anti-immigration views, usually utilizing his platform to rage towards what he known as the “invasion of illegal aliens.” He reportedly suggested Trump on his border coverage when he was within the White home.
Dobbs hosted “Lou Dobbs Tonight” from 2011 to 2021. Fox Business canceled the present a day after he was named in a lawsuit that accused him and different Fox hosts of selling conspiracy theories about voting machines being rigged within the 2020 election.
Earlier than becoming a member of Fox, Dobbs labored at CNN. His tenure ended there when he started pushing the conspiracy principle that then-President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the USA.
