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.

Ever since the Southern Strategy was adopted by the GQP they’ve been Nazis.
“How could this have happened?” asks guy who helped make this happen.
My thoughts exactly. Well put.
infiltrated
Buddy, you and your ilk welcomed them with open arms.
They’ve had Nazis in the party since at least the 70s… Not just things like the Bush family connections to providing Nazis oil in WW2, but more directly when The Heritage Foundation hired Nazis and white supremacists for various things.

…and it’s only gotten more overt.
EDIT: Actually in 1999 a journalist wrote a book all about this, titled “Old Nazis, the New Right, and The Republican Party”… It’s definitely been a known thing for awhile now.
For me the significant part is Rove, of all people, calling this out as a problem, severe enough that he will vote Dem.
good old turd blossom.
Yeah, I’m getting leopards and faces vibes here.
you and your ilk
Americans?
Yes, but specifically neocons of the time, which Rove was a de facto leader
The GOP IS a Nazi problem
When even a republican calls you a bigot, then you know you have problems…
Dick Cheney was an abhorrent corrupt vile motherfucker who pillaged taxpayer money to line his pockets, pushed to extend wars in the middle east solely for profit and shot someone in the face.
When that guy says voting for the orange pedo is a bad idea it should really tell you something
Karl Rove lamenting that the GOP is too Nazi is nothing short of surreal.
This dirtbag has been a waste of oxygen for decades.
At this point, I don’t know how any vaguely sane person can want to be associated with the modern Republican party.
MAGA is the predictable outcome of the GOP he created. This is HIS fault, among others. This is what HE wanted, wished for, and fought for. Now he’s whining because MAGA is losing badly, and a lot of MAGAs are going to be punished, and he’s afraid it’s going to reach back to him.
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.
Karl fucking Rove is going to complain about the Nazis in the room?!
Hey… he’s just trying to save face before the tribunal.
Exactly. If Trump had wasn’t so jealous of the Bushes, Rove would have a cabinet post or be running some agency. He’s just pissy that he can’t be part of the American Holocaust.
