Fox Business host Lou Dobbs on Wednesday let loose on the anonymous White House official who authored a New York Times piece critical of President Trump, calling him (or her) a “delusional, egomaniacal, self-aggrandizing jackass.”

“Let’s start with the president and this anonymous quote, by some worm who is allegedly a part of the administration,” Dobbs told guest Paul Bracken, a Yale University political science professor.

“I was shocked that the individual in question would not resign and put it under his own name,” said Bracken, calling the op-ed by an anonymous critic still allegedly working at a high level within the Trump administration “not good for the democracy.” (RELATED: WHITE HOUSE CALLS FOR ANONYMOUS NYT OP-ED WRITER TO RESIGN)

“Anyone who would betray the man they work for, the President of the United States is a delusional, egomaniacal, self-aggrandizing jackass,” Dobbs fired back. “I don’t see any other way to call it. I would think that that person would, I hope, stand out clearly among the top officials in the administration.”
