I always thought it was a take off of the Log Cabin Republicans, who I wish would have outed them.
I agree, Rove knew and said nothing. Might be why Kellyanne abruptly resigned.
” ...his warnings were dismissed because everyone hates Karl Rove. “

Karl should have told “speechless” George Conway.

“HE knew of this and said NOTHING.”
“Incorrect. He told everyone, multiple times, and his warnings were dismissed because everyone hates Karl Rove.”
Interesting! Do you have any source that shows this?
“Many Republican operatives in Texas tell the story of another close race of sorts: a competition in the 1980s to become the dominant Republican consultant in Texas. In 1986 Weaver and Rove both worked on Bill Clements’s successful campaign for governor, after which Weaver was named executive director of the state Republican Party. Both were emerging as leading consultants, but Weaver’s star seemed to be rising faster. The details vary slightly according to which insider tells the story, but the main point is always the same: after Weaver went into business for himself and lured away one of Rove’s top employees, Rove spread a rumor that Weaver had made a pass at a young man at a state Republican function. Weaver won’t reply to the smear, but those close to him told me of their outrage at the nearly two-decades-old lie. Weaver was first made unwelcome in some Texas Republican circles, and eventually, following McCain’s 2000 campaign, he left the Republican Party altogether.”

That seems to be the source when the incident became public knowledge outside of Texas GOP circles, and if you look at articles about it that came out after that, they all use this incident as evidence that Rove is “homophobic” or was just engaging in “dirty tricks”. None of them seemed to care whether the allegation was true, or if there should be any investigation.
I wonder if George Conway was availing himself to that teen twink rectum parade like that freak Weaver
Conway gives off serious butt stink vibe
A fop at a minimum
Take all of them down at the same time, including McCain’s reputation.
