Lou Dobbs tweets Trump accuser's address and phone number

Source: http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/10/fox

Fox Business Network anchor Lou Dobbs publicized the address and phone number of Jessica Leeds, one of the women who accused Donald Trump of groping her, to his 792,000 followers on Thursday morning.

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.

...

Update, 3:25 p.m.: Dobbs tweeted a link to this post along with an apology: "My Retweet, My Mistake, My Apology to Jessica Leeds"

How can anyone anywhere not be shocked to the depths of their souls by the behavior of Trump, his surrogates and his supporters?

and Tweets. You are responsible for the content that you send forward. I attempt to verify to best of my ability content before I send it forward.

Some level of accountability needs to be brought to social media.

Actually as I remember it, Dobbs had a wife, a girlfriend, and a woman in the office he all had to flee. #Scumbag

There are errors, and then there are things where people have to ask why that even entered your head.

This is tha latter, and there is no scenario that involves a respectable journalist.

But thanks for the confimation.
