https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/karl-rove-accuses-obama-of-committing-political-drive-by-shooting-of-trump-in-commencement-speech/Karl Rove accused former President Barack Obama of committing a political drive-by shooting by taking a thinly veiled swipe at his successors response to the coronavirus crisis.
The former president questioned President Donald Trumps maturity and leadership Saturday during a virtual commencement address, and Rove a Republican strategist and senior advisor and deputy chief of staff during the George W. Bush administration complained on Fox & Friends.
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, Rove told Fox News.
You know what is unseemly Karl? The fact that you feel qualified to criticize Obama and would go on Fox and Friends to do it. And did you even watch the program? It was geared toward graduating high school seniors, nation wide, not black colleges and universities. Did you make that assumption because Obama is black, or are you just ignorant?

Rove knows this, he advised against it.
from 2011:
Rove told Fox that Trump was joke candidate... Rove told Fox that Trumps lost his way with the birther talk. He said that Trumps birther focus was beneath him and suggested that Trumps business background could be a real asset to the Republican field.
He even offered Trump a way out of the birther corner hes painted himself into when, as Rove put it, Trumps political guy called him to complain about the first Fox interview.
He told me well its not Mr. Trumps fault. He says the press keeps asking him about it, Rove said, describing the conversation about birtherism. I said next time hes asked about it why doesnt he say thats the last Im going to say about it. He called me become a half hour later and said Mr. Trump appreciates your advice and thats exactly what hes going to do.'
And that was the end of that. Until Trump opened his mouth again.
Then Trump goes out yesterday and says, this birth issue birther issue, the birth certificate issue

Gulp Gulp, drink your kool-aid, and get your followers to drink some as well. I hear it mixes well with bleach or any of your favorite disinfectants.

(10,274 posts)1), that KKKarl Rove is still walking around free and that he and his boss are not in prison for war crimes
And 2) that this blatant racism still holds sway with roughly 40 percent of this country for him to think he can say that on national tv and not get his mic feed IMMEDIATELY cut.
Fuck you, Karl. Maybe you're not PERSONALLY a rascist, but you say rascist things so that racists will like you. Go die for that.
(ON EDIT) Theres a Third Thing. If Trump had actually done something other than whine about DOING THE JOB HE WAS ELECTED FOR (yes I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here), Obama wouldnt feel the need to say anything at all. How bout this, KKKarl...Coronavirus is Donald Trumps KATRINA. Hows THAT FEEL for a 'drive-by,' you worthless hateful fuckhead??
