LOU DOBBS (HOST): It also, you have to wonder where are the leaders of the community? Where have they been during city council meetings? Where have they been trying to counsel this inexperienced and untested mayor who is facile and unwilling to stand up like a man and take responsibility in a moment of great sorrow and pain for his community? To see this kind of ignorance unleashed on the streets of Minneapolis because a mayor doesn't have guts, because the city council isn't engaged, because the community there isn't engaged with the city council, obviously.

They had the ability to control their lives with those local power centers, and I don't know where the Black churches are are, I don't know where the Black teachers and leaders are. It is such a failure of community and local government that it's just pathetic.

4. How can he say lines like this:

How can he say this with a straight face when he’s out Trump humping the rest of the newsday?

“facile and unwilling to stand up like a man and take responsibility in a moment of great sorrow and pain“

I can think of someone who LITERALLY SAID that he takes no responsibility...and it ain’t the mayor...

It’s like when GOPers try to attack Biden on IQ etc. Have they seen their orange boy? I wish irony could be fatal.

My racist brother loves him for it. It makes me sick.

6. Murdoch speaks once again.

Dobbs has always gone to the Blame the Black Community for his own Racism. Many of us really Old People here,remember how Nixon's Goons used these same words and phrases several times.
