Lou Dobbs passes away at 78, claims report
As reported by The Guardian, Lou Dobbs, a longtime cable news anchor has died at the age of 78, according to statements posted on his social media accounts. Dobbs’ death was announced on July 18, 2024, through a post on his official X (formerly known as Twitter) account. However, the cause of his death remains unknown. He is survived by his wife, Debi Lee Segura, and their children.
The post reads, “Lou’s legacy will forever live on as a patriot and a great American. We ask for your prayers for Lou’s wonderful wife Debi, children, and grandchildren.”
Donald Trump has issued a statement about Dobbs’ death, as reported by Newsweek. He wrote, “The Great Lou Dobbs has just passed away — A friend, and truly incredible Journalist, Reporter, and Talent.”
In recent years, Dobbs came to be known for his staunch support of Donald Trump and allegedly spreading misinformation. In 2021, Fox News canceled Dobbs’ show, “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” after he became a prominent proponent of the false narrative of the 2020 election. Despite admitting that there was no substantial evidence to support these claims, Dobbs continued to broadcast these ideas. His actions led to his inclusion in a lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News for airing false information about the 2020 presidential election.
Dobbs’ career began at CNN when it was founded in 1980 and lasted over two decades. He previously made headlines as a CNN host for repeatedly questioning Barack Obama’s citizenship. This was despite clear evidence confirming Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
