While most media cheered the White House’s decision to back down from their challenge to CNN and restore Jim Acosta’s press credentials on Monday, one man was not having it — Fox Business host Lou Dobbs.
On his show later that night, Dobbs expressed outrage over the whole affair and floated the idea that President Trump might have just been better off ignoring Judge Timothy Kelly’s injunction that temporarily restored Acosta’s press pass.
“Let’s be honest here,” said Dobbs. “Isn’t there a time where you have to just tell a district court judge to go to hell?”
The question prompted a laugh from Fox News legal analyst Greggย Jarrett as Dobbs wondered whether Trump could legally have just flouted the order.
