Former Fox News host Lou Dobbs has offered his two cents on the future of Republican Party leadership, and the response has been less than enthusiastic.
Dobbs, who was canceled by Fox 24 hours after he and the network were named in a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by voting technology company Smartmatic, said that if the GOP retakes the House majority this year, only the “brightest” conservatives like Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz should be considered for speaker.
The Trump loyalist also attacked current Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as a “RINO” (Republican in name only) who should should not be considered for speaker.

How about we take this to the next level?

Not only did everyone seem to agree this is the worst idea ever, but commenters also shared their feelings about Dobbs:
Not only is Lou Dobbs the stupidest man on all of TV, he reminds me of Quato. pic.twitter.com/lzERwheZ7o

Lou Dobbs doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground! If, you are in agreement with him on anything…seek professional help!

Lou Dobbs is just plain old evil and willfully ignorant. No person in their right mind would suggest such a thing. https://t.co/qNpmUETjXH

Lou Dobbs is an angry old baby-man. He’s less relevant than dead racist Rush Limbaugh. https://t.co/PPSBFmkEYX

Lou Dobbs states that Jordan and Gaetz should be considered for speaker because they are the "brightest". Maybe Dobbs equates scandals where minors are involved as "bright"??? Jordan w/ the OSU settlement & gaetz….well, that will play out soon.

Dobbs called Trump a man of action and vision. Never forget when Trump was railing on Mexicans, Dobbs joined the bandwagon even though he has a Mexican wife.
Lou Dobbs is just another loathsome pos who works for a propaganda network spoon-feeding lies to their viewers 24/7.

Lou Dobbs has lost his mind. Jim J and Matt G are at the bottom of the Republican barrel when it comes to intelligence. They are only a notch above MTG and Lauren Boebert.

Lou Dobbs thinks that Gym Jordan and Matt Gaetz are the "brightest". Lou Dobbs is as big a buttered doorknob as they are.

We all know Lou Dobbs is not the brightest bulb

Gaetz are the brightest the GOP have in the

medical help.— marco m (@RbgMarco) February 17, 2022

He’s not dead? Are you sure? In the photo, he looks as if he was dug up and propped up.

He did die.
He’s just so stupid he forgot to fall down.

Personally I’m loving watching the GQP infighting, tantrums, and meltdowns. It’ll only help increase the odds of the Dems holding the House and Senate.
When McConnell was recently asked what will be the GQP’s party platform should they take back the Senate he said, “wait and see.”
Yeah, no thanks. We had a lot of wait and see by these clowns under Trump.
Wait and see on healthcare: Never happened.
Wait and see on infrastructure: Never happened.
Wait and see on trade deals: Never happened.
Wait and see on taxes: Rich people handouts, Tax hikes for the poor
No Thank you. Republicans are terrible for the country.

They also frequently the economy in shambles. Hoover, Nixon, HW Bush (a recession not as bad as the others’ debacles), W Bush (total collapse), Don the Con (total collapse)…. They not be anywhere near other people’s (the taxpayers’!) money!

If Jordan and Gaetz are the brightest the GQP have to offer, then that means the rest of them are so dim they barely show any light., so basically, he’s insulting everyone in Congress by telling the truth, which is anathema to the Party.
