Republican strategist Karl Rove said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that President Donald Trump will be convinced in the Senate with Republicans voting for impeachment if his defense is there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell says that he is keeping an open mind about the second impeachment trial of Donald Trump, a big difference, sharp difference, from his clear opposition from the very start of the first impeachment trial just a year ago. What do you think, Karl, are the chances that 17 Senate Republicans, and that’s what it would take if all of the Democrats vote for conviction, 17 Senate Republicans would vote to convict Donald Trump and to keep them from running again?”
Rove said, “Normally we say not much chance, but I think Leader McConnell’s statement is a sign that every Republican Senator needs to take this seriously. I think it’s all going to boil down what’s the president’s defense. Rudy Giuliani charted a very bad course for the president in the morning papers when he suggested that the argument was going to be in there couldn’t have been incitement because all the charges of widespread voter fraud are true.

Shut up, Karl.
His defense is he did nothing wrong...they have to come up with a charge for impeachment..
Rove is a fool...
Stand by your guns President Trump!
Take your “white board” and run over to CNN where you will feel at home.
How can there be a trial after he is out of office?
What of all the LIARS on the left who still stay Trump stole 2016 due to Russian Interference?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Karl is a never Trumper, pro-Bush Rino.
Bush Cabal tool.
Ignore him. Rove will be an early casualty of the Biden/Horris era.
Did this loser just get off a conference call with Bush, the Clintons and Odunga?
It’s freaking unconstitutional to try a ex-President and besides that it’s his constitutional right to think and voice his opinion that the election was stolen
Who cares about this stuff.
They might as well go back and finish the impeachment (conviction) of Andrew Johnson.
Let em, Trump is not going to run again anyway. Let the republicans go on record. Not a single one that votes for this will be re-elected. IMHO
STFU Rove!!!
You don’t matter!
Go Rove somewhere and leave us alone. Peddle your stupidity somewhere else.
Rove is a fraud.
What a stupid statement. The fraudulent election has nothing to do with the fraudulent impeachment. Rove will say anytime to get airtime.
And Rove, you can stop thinking about grooming Romney to be the 2024 designated loser for president.
Bipartisan? Uniparty and whom?
