Lou Dobbs, the godfather of financial TV news who made a sharp turn into populist right-wing politics, has died. He was 78.
The veteran broadcaster’s death was confirmed Thursday in posts on his social media accounts.
“Lou was a fighter till the very end — fighting for what mattered to him the most, God, his family and the country. Lou’s legacy will forever live on as a patriot and a great American. We ask for your prayers for Lou’s wonderful wife Deb, children and grandchildren.”
His death was first announced on Truth Social by former President Trump.
