Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs said Tuesday night that the "low-energy Trump White House communications team remains flatfooted and failing" under a "constant barrage" from the "forces of evil."

Dobbs's scathing commentary comes after a bombshell New York Times report came out saying that President Trump asked former FBI Director James Comey earlier this year to stop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

"Our president is under constant barrage from all quarters by the vapid but still venomous Dems on Capitol Hill, the left-wing national media, the toxic GOP elites and much of the orthodoxy who hate also as much as the left and the deep state denizens," said Dobbs, a staunch Trump supporter. "That includes some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in this nation."

"And this president deserves the full commitment of his White House staff, who should be fighting as hard as the president for him, his agenda and this country," he continued. "The all-too-civil, low-energy Trump White House communications deep remains flatfooted and failing.

"They need to change that," Dobbs, who was with CNN for 30 years before coming to Fox Business in 2011, continued. "They aren't obviously fighters, they obviously aren't street smart and they haven't been strategic. And they must change all of that. They must become all of that and much more. Because the determined forces of evil that surround this White House are trying to destroy the Trump presidency.

"This is a war, damn it, so go to war now."

Fox News host Bret Baier said Tuesday there weren't "any Republicans willing to go on camera" in the wake of the Times's story.

The White House press office issued denied the president "asked Comey or anyone else to end any investigation" but did not make anyone available for interviews Tuesday night.

“While the president has repeatedly expressed his view that General Flynn is a decent man who served and protected our country, the president has never asked Mr. Comey or anyone else to end any investigation, including any investigation involving General Flynn,” a White House statement said.
