Karl Rove writes for the Wall Street Journal: We’re seeing what happens when conspiracy collides with reality. There’s hell to pay when those who hyped the conspiracy have closed the books on the case. Team Trump is now in damage control mode. They’ve also fought among themselves. That will leave scars. Other conspiracies await action by the White House. Team …

“What those people did when they violently attacked the Capitol, in order to stop a constitutionally-mandated meeting of the Congress to accept the results of the Electoral College, is a stain on our history. And every one of those sons a bitches who did that, we oughta find them, try them, and send them to jail. “And one of the …

“I think the former president’s got a problem with this. They had voted to certify the election. He had attempted to force them to change their decision, which they tried to do. I think this is what we would call election interference. “And just as he got into trouble in Georgia over a similar act, calling the secretary of state …

The Texas Tribune reports: Veteran Republican strategist Karl Rove said Friday that Attorney General Ken Paxton only has himself to blame for his impeachment.

“He has incredible conspiracy theories that are just outrageous. Vaccines cause autism because they have Mercury preservative and they are worse than the diseases that they say they are going to save you from. “We haven’t used Mercury since 2001 in children’s vaccines. It was never used in the three most common vaccines on children. And no scientific evidence supports …

“The Secret Service – and this is just my own personal conjecture, no information other than simply knowing the Secret Service is there – they have no statutory responsibility over classified material. “But they are sworn federal law officers. They are law enforcement, and they have a responsibility to report a crime, and particularly after a letter is sent from …

The Hill reports: Former President Trump Thursday evening fired back at longtime Republican strategist Karl Rove, who in an opinion piece this week criticized Trump’s address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) as ringing “hollow” among his supporters.

Politico Playbook reports: After Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale was demoted last summer, he considered quitting and sabotaging the campaign by turning off the “lights” to the campaign website, the email system, the transfer of data between the campaign and the RNC and even the Amazon server.

The Daily Beast reports: “Rudy Giuliani charted a very bad course for the president in the morning papers when he suggested that the argument was going to be, ‘Well, there couldn’t have been incitement because all the charges of widespread voter fraud are true,’” Rove sighed. “Well, those charges and the so-called experts that the campaign has mustered to advocate …

Karl Rove writes for the Wall Street Journal: Mr. Trump is now pursuing legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada, and there will be an automatic recount in Georgia, given Mr. Biden’s 0.29-point lead there.

Mediaite reports: On a day when the political landscape was rocked by damning revelations from Rage, Bob Woodward’s new book, about President Donald Trump admitting that he lied to the public about the deadly risks of the coronavirus, GOP political strategist Karl Rove delivered an epic, five minute-long rant on Fox News about the disastrous, dishonest response to the pandemic…by …

“It is so unseemly for a former president to take the virtual commencement ceremony for a series of historically black colleges and universities and turn it into a political drive-by shooting. “I mean, you know, this is a moment where these young graduates could be inspired to a life of service, to, you know, recognize that life is going to …

“The self-centeredness, and the conceit of this woman, who thinks that because she’s young, and everybody else is young, and she’s a left-winger and she knows a lot of other left-wingers, that somehow or another they are the greatest generation that America has ever seen, is just beyond me. But you know, we have to put up with her. I …

Fox News reports: Republican strategist Karl Rove said on “Fox & Friends” Friday that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ town hall on Fox earlier this week convinced him that the presidential candidate could win the Oval Office in 2020.

“I think this is over the top. Every president has problems with the media. I was in the White House for seven years, I didn’t like the coverage they gave George W. Bush, particularly the liberal New York Times. But look, the ferocity of these generalized slurs if you will, against the press and the frequency of them is disturbing …

Media Matters has the transcript: “He has 186 electoral votes in states that he either leads outside of the margin of error or is thought comfortably put away. That compares to Romney’s 206. That’s Romney’s states minus Arizona and North Carolina, where he’s behind, plus Iowa, where he’s ahead. There’s only one other — he’s ahead in Ohio by less …

Via Mediaite: There is no credible evidence to back up the rumors circulating about Hillary Clinton‘s supposedly poor health, but Karl Rove had multiple white boards on hand to bolster his case that Clinton was indeed ill.

According to a video posted this afternoon by lunatic conspiracy nut Alex Jones, Fox News commentator Karl Rove called the cops on him for repeatedly confronting him after traveling on the same flight to Cleveland.
