KKKarl Rove raises his ugly head and accuses Obama of a "political drive by shooting of Trump"

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 successor’s response to the coronavirus crisis.

The former president questioned President Donald Trump’s 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?

I’m just surprised he hasn’t joined the MF45 administration. His emergence today tells me he is going to become the newest member of the re election cult. .

...with rascist screeds about Kenya.

Rove knows this, he advised against it.

from 2011:

Rove told Fox that Trump was “joke candidate... ”Rove told Fox that Trump’s lost his way with the birther talk. He said that Trump’s birther focus was “beneath him” and suggested that Trump’s business background could be a real asset to the Republican field.

He even offered Trump a way out of the birther corner he’s painted himself into when, as Rove put it, Trump’s “political guy” called him to complain about the first Fox interview.

“He told me well it’s not Mr. Trump’s fault. He says the press keeps asking him about it,” Rove said, describing the conversation about birtherism. “I said next time he’s asked about it why doesn’t he say ‘that’s the last I’m going to say about it.’ He called me become a half hour later and said ‘Mr. Trump appreciates your advice and that’s exactly what he’s 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 —

You were all happy and smug, but when the scheme fell through you freaked out on air! Those were good times!!

Hey Karl you remember the Colbert Report? Ham Rove was awesome! It was hard to tell you two apart though.

Really Karl Turdblossom. And you are a kool-aid distributor.


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.

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??
