Lou Dobbs: Two Times A Hypocrite

Lou Dobbs: Two Times A Hypocrite

Lou Dobbs is as two-faced when it comes to business advice as he is about immigration policy.

Last month, The Nation published Isabel Macdonald’s investigative report on Lou Dobb’s use of undocumented workers on his estate and horse stables. Even though Dobbs made his career railing against "illegals" and the people who employ them, Macdonald found that he himself has relied on their labor for years.

A month after the initial media storm this news provoked, it turns out Dobbs is getting a show on Fox Business Network. But when it comes to business advice, Dobbs is just as hypocritical as he was giving his anti-immigrant rants: he publicly criticized corporations for outsourcing, while investing in many of them himself and praising them in his financial newsletter.

Isabel Macdonald outlines Dobbs’s contradictory business positions in her Huffington Post article. You can read it here.

Take a stand against Trump and support The Nation!

In this moment of crisis, we need a unified, progressive opposition to Donald Trump. 

We’re starting to see one take shape in the streets and at ballot boxes across the country: from New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign focused on affordability, to communities protecting their neighbors from ICE, to the senators opposing arms shipments to Israel. 

The Democratic Party has an urgent choice to make: Will it embrace a politics that is principled and popular, or will it continue to insist on losing elections with the out-of-touch elites and consultants that got us here? 

At The Nation, we know which side we’re on. Every day, we make the case for a more democratic and equal world by championing progressive leaders, lifting up movements fighting for justice, and exposing the oligarchs and corporations profiting at the expense of us all. Our independent journalism informs and empowers progressives across the country and helps bring this politics to new readers ready to join the fight.

We need your help to continue this work. Will you donate to support The Nation’s independent journalism? Every contribution goes to our award-winning reporting, analysis, and commentary. 

Thank you for helping us take on Trump and build the just society we know is possible. 

Sincerely, 

Bhaskar Sunkara 
President, The Nation
