Rove responds to reports he's advising Trump campaign

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, don’t 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, I’ve become quite a fan."

"I think he’s got a sharp mind and great instincts, and he’s actually called and asked, having been through this drill trying to reelect a president myself, he’s 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 I’m somehow deeply engrained in the Trump campaign…I’ve 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 that’s even too far."

"Occasionally he’s even kind enough to call me and say ‘what do you think about this’ so and I’m happy to give him my unvarnished advice and he can do with it what he will,” he added.

Yeah, as soon as I clicked “post” I realized the same thing. When Ted’s head is brought out of cryofreeze he’ll doubtless wreak vengeance on my descendants.

Strange the TWO (known) people with his DNA and one wanted to freeze him to preserve the DNA.

Maybe the apple DOESN’T fall that close to the tree?

Actually, had you used MOST anyone else, I would have just tsked tsked and mumbled something etc but when it comes to ‘Teddy Ball Game’ and his hitting prowess....

You understand......
