In a recent interview, conservative political operative Karl Rove said he’s voting for a Democrat in the upcoming midterms, breaking three decades of precedent exclusively supporting Republicans, and lamented the GOP’s embrace of far-right individuals.
“My party is being infiltrated by people like Bo French,” Rove said in an interview with The Texas Tribune. Weeks earlier, Rove described French, the Republican candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner, as a “bigot,” after he posted several xenophobic social media posts taking aim at students of color celebrating a college football game. Earlier in September, the Tribune reported that Rove planned to vote for French’s rival, state Rep. Jon Rosenthal, D-Houston, in the race that will regulate the Texas oil and gas industry.

Rove’s whole shtick is turning everything one says and does into a performance of some kind, to misdirect one’s adversaries. I can’t tell you I know what his angle is, what his goal is, but I do feel that listening to him at all is a mistake. The only thing you know for sure is that he is trying to trick you right now.
So, sure, the GOP is where all the neo-Nazis are, today. But why is Rove bringing this up? Why bring it up now, as opposed to at any other moment in the last 10 years? That’s where the trick will be.
Bush II nicknamed him “Turd Blossom” for a reason.
Honestly, this was all predicted. The retarded masses are FINALLY figuring out that Trump is even more retarded than they are, and Trump is now a toxic brand. Every republican that wants a future in politics are now distancing themselves from Trump, saying that Trump is bad but us old establishment republicans are the good guys actually! Just remember when you hear these politicans condemning Trump, there will always be multiple videos and tweets of them swallowing Trump’s load. JD Vance will once again condemn Trump when it’s politically convenient, mark my words.
This is the correct response.
