Former White House strategist Karl Rove pushed back Friday at reports that said he is advising the Trump campaign, but said he does give unvarnished advice to Trump's campaign when it contacts him.
Rove sad he is friends with Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, and that Parscale calls him from time to time.
Well first of all, dont believe everything you read in the press," Rove said in an interview with Fox News Radio's "The Guy Benson Show" on Friday.
Robe said he likes Parscale and "I consider him a friend, Ive become quite a fan."
"I think hes got a sharp mind and great instincts, and hes actually called and asked, having been through this drill trying to reelect a president myself, hes kind enough to call and occasionally say what do you think about this or should I be worried about that,'" said Rove, who was considered the master strategist for former President George W. Bush's campaigns.
"The idea that Im somehow deeply engrained in the Trump campaign Ive got a busy life with Fox and Wall Street Journal and speeches, added Rove, a political contributor to Fox News and a columnist for the Journal.
When Benson asked if it would be fair to say he was "occasionally informally advising the Trump campaign, Robe responded: I think thats even too far."
"Occasionally hes even kind enough to call me and say what do you think about this so and Im happy to give him my unvarnished advice and he can do with it what he will, he added.

Thats fair.
It's really not a different game. It's the same game, only more vicious. The left HATED Bush. The media hated Bush. Hollywood hated Bush (remember Fahrenheit 911?). Academia hated Bush. It's really the same game. The left just hates more and is more vicious.
Anybody but this traitor.
If the MSM suspects that someone might be helping the Trump campaign, they will "out" that person in the hopes of shaming them into backing off.
In Rove's case, the MSM likely thinks that outing Rove would get him suspended by Fox News for the duration of the campaign, making it financially untenable for Rove to continue working with Trump.
-PJ
He knows the key counties in every single state
“many FReepers bash him at the drop of a hat”
It’s been a lot more than a drop of the hat.
-Wasted tens of millions pushing Romney. Had election night meltdown.
-All in for Jeb.
-Anti-Tea Party
-His Never Trumper Fox News media blitz
Bush got dragged across the finish line in spite of Karl Rove's strategy. The Swift Boat Vets were the ones who called Kerry out. Others hit him with the "flip flops."
Rove gave advice to Jeb Bush.
I'll bash him at the drop of a hat, and I'll drop the hat, too.
Karl Rove has his finger on the pulse of the nation. Unfortunately, it’s the pulse circa 2004.
How do you unvarnish a turd? Get lost, Karl.
So Rove is no good because he doesn’t have a 100% win record?
Was Ted Williams a lousy hitter because he whiffed 60% of the time?
Was Trump a lousy businessman because some of his ventures flopped?
Look, I’m not here to defend Rove. I sure don’t want him running Trump’s campaign. But I’m not about to say that, since he’s Karl Rove he has NOTHING to offer of value.
If Rove is back and he / Parscale are great friends TRUMP is RUMP - he needs Kelly Anne back in the Campaign drivers seat or the re-election with the dems cheating is in the bag for the dems and TRUMP is TOAST!
Never though Parscale had a handle on this all along and this just proves TRUMP has been too distracted on running the country! No one has been minding the re-election store - AT ALL!
Getting late too with all the potential fraud coming - he needs omeone as point person on the lawyer front in each state too! Named NOW too!!!
Please bring Kelly Anne back! Dump Parscale!
How many years before the forum turns on Trump?
I dont know, but there are a lot of sheep here.
Especially 2004. Bush did not have the gonads to attack John F. Kerry and had to rely on the Swift Boat guys to help him over the finish line winning by only 2.5%.
Yep!
Yep!
Brad Parscale is an American digital consultant and political aide who served as the digital media director for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. He now serves as the campaign manager for Trump's 2020 reelection campaign.
Was Ted Williams a lousy hitter because he whiffed 60% of the time?
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Really NOT trying to be anal BUT
in baseball speak ‘whiffed’ is strike out (or was)
Ted Williams had 7706 ABs and struck out 709 times which doesn’t really make it 60%
Like I say, not really trying to be anal but when the Umpire told the pitcher and catcher that when ‘they’ get around to throwing a strike, Mr Williams would let them know.
