Lou Dobbs Apologizes for Helping Doxx Trump Accuser (But His Tweet Is Still Up)

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs apologized this afternoon for his retweet helping doxx one of Donald Trump‘s accusers.

Jessica Leeds alleged that Trump touched her in a very inappropriate manner. Someone else tweeted out something supposedly alleging that she has ties to the Clinton Foundation and Dobbs RT’ed it.

The only problem? It contained what appeared to be her personal information.

The internet naturally lit up with outrage and Dobbs has now apologized:

— Lou Dobbs (@LouDobbs) October 13, 2016

The only problem? As of this posting, despite the original person’s tweet being taken down, Dobbs’ RT of it is STILL UP:

This is the Dirtiest Campaign in our History: #MAGA #TrumpPence16 #AmericaFirst https://t.co/5pPUrgfM0P

So exactly how sorry is he?
