Lou Dobbs - how DARE President Obama insult Trump. Steve Forbes agrees.

VIDEO IS AT LINK 4:49

Conservative television host, Lou Dobbs, was infuriated Friday evening after our former president, Barack Obama made some negative remarks about Donald Trump in India. Obama didn’t actually mention the name Donald Trump, but we all know to whom he was referring. Among topics like climate change and religious intolerance, social media was also touched upon.

Obama said,

Don’t say the first thing that pops in your head. Have a little bit of an edit function. Think before you speak, think before you tweet.

He then went on to talk about how many followers he has on Twitter, saying that he has “more than other people who use it more often.” While this got quite a few laughs with his audience, not everyone was thrilled about his remarks.

Dobbs was not having it. He thought that Obama stepped over the line. He whined,

I think U.S. Marshals should follow him, and any time he wants to go follow the President like he is, and behave… I mean, this is just bad manners. It’s boorish, it’s absurd, he doesn’t realize how foolish he looks. I mean, he should be brought back by the Marshals. Isn’t there some law that says presidents shouldn’t be attacking sitting presidents?

You have lost the right to live in the U.S. and your opinions are fascist.

You are the opposite of everything this country is suppose to represent.

You are an enemy of this country.

You should be exiled.

Has Lou listened to anything Dotard has said or tweeted these last ten months?

Lou needs to be flushed down the toilet along with Doturd.

There is a law that SPECIFICALLY says the government cannot arrest you for speaking out about the President. Was this imbecile asleep during the campaign where Donnie was claiming Pres Obaba was the devil?
