 [Washington Examiner] Fox Business host Lou Dobbs lashed out at Republican leaders who haven't defended President Trump's challenges to the results of the election.
In an interview with White House adviser Stephen Miller on Monday, Dobbs praised Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas for agreeing to deliver oral arguments to the Supreme Court should it agree to hear an appeal from Pennsylvania Republicans suing to flip their state's election results from President-elect Joe Biden to Trump. Dobbs asked why other Republicans weren't behaving similarly.
"The president warns for months and months and months about mail-in ballots and the potential for fraud, and the Republicans do nothing, Stephen. Nothing," Dobbs asked. "What’s wrong with the Republican Party?!"
Miller replied in agreement by asking, "It's an outrage. Where is the outrage?"
Still, Dobbs demanded an explanation from Miller. "Where the hell are the Republicans, Stephen? Where the hell are the Republicans? Where are they?" the Fox Business host asked.
Dobbs later asked Miller why the White House hasn't "jumped on" Cruz's offer to argue before the high court and "salute him." Miller changed subjects to discuss state legislatures, but Dobbs demanded an immediate answer from him.
"No, no, Stephen. I’m not going to let you do this! I’m not going to let you do that! ... I asked a question. You and I, we’re reasonably smart and decent fellows. Why don’t you answer me? That’s all I’m asking here, Stephen," Dobbs said. "Why don’t you guys jump and salute Ted Cruz and say, 'Yes, we want you on the team now'? My God, this is not a time for internecine nonsense on the part of the Republican Party, which is watching its blood drain into the streets because they’re gutless!"
Miller said he and Dobbs were "simpatico" on the matter, adding that he would "see to" that he would get an answer to his question. "As I sit here today, Lou, I'm not in a position to make that decision, but I'll get you that answer, Lou. But at the same time, we cannot let — the Constitution gives state legislatures the obligation to slate electors. And we cannot let our state GOP legislators off the hook," Miller said.
