Fox News contributor Karl Rove on Tuesday criticized former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and lawyer Sidney Powell for the “idiotic” ideas they are pushing to President Donald Trump on overturning the results of the 2020 election.
Anchor John Roberts said, “I want to ask you about these meetings that the president has been having a close group of allies about what to do regarding what happens on January 6… that some members of the House may oppose the seating of electors from their states. And then there’s other things that have been kicked around, too, which the president denies, like bringing in the military to rerun elections in certain states. What do you make of all that?”
Rove said, “Talk about an idiotic idea. There’s no ability for any president to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1803, claiming that the issue has got to do with the hubbub around the election. No president would have the authority to do that. General Flynn may have served honorably in the military, but he is sure is heck, not a constitutional law scholar. And when it comes to giving good advice to the president about politics, he’s at the bottom of the list, in my opinion.”
When asked about Sidney Powell, Rove said, Ms. Powell has peddled theories that have little basis in fact. The idea that Hugo Chavez from the grave was somehow involved in stealing this year’s election. She was poured out in a courtroom where all of her expect witnesses, one of them was so highly prized that he had to have a code name and could be revealed. She sold him as a highly expert military intelligence analyst. He turned out to be a mid-level computer program from Dallas who couldn’t even pass the entrance exam

General Rove speaks. A man who had one or two major victories and he thinks he is a major player. He is a tool. I say this has all the makings of a coup. Its all there. Outside help, massive cheating. threats of violence to scare the highest court in the land into ruling against Trump. Rove is a total and complete deep state moron. he isnt fit to run a Stop and Rob in podunk.
Based on all the court cases, I agree with Karl Rove.
Only slight less guilty than Paul Ryano.
I’m surprised he wasn’t a part of the Lincoln Project. I guess they had enough grifters and didn’t want to add Rove’s dead weight.
Always has been even though he was formerly known as That Magnificent Bastard, here on FR. We have been rather slow here to identify our enemies. Still many Barr, Sessions admirers here. We talk a lot about our friends being coerced of intimidated when the simple reason is they simply agree with what is happening.
This spending bill giving tons of money to foreigners and scraps to citizens says exactly what they want it to say else it would never have been voted on and passed.
Karl Rove doesn’t mean just any idiot. He is referring to a majorly stupid idiot, like himself.
I appreciate that Rove figured out how to thread the needle for Bush... but seriously,you are part of the problem..
I have to wonder what ties he has to the Chinese and since he is a Bush dude, his views don’t surprise me.
They needed to cover the ballots because there was a pipe that was gonna burst in 3, 2, 1...
You fat bald idiot take a hike if you don’t have anything helpful to say.
What Court Cases, They have refused to hear a single piece of evidence by claiming n o one has standing to bring the case.
Court cases involve hearing evidence by both sides and rendering an opinion, not the same thing as refusing to hear either side.
Agreed.....the pimple hurts, but at least it’s coming to a head
Like Barr and Roberts, he us a Bushbot
They should have brought they unbrellas, just in case.
The idiots are those trying to do things the establishment/normal way.
The idiots are the _conservatives_ who live in a status-quo government trace.
US governments are completely lawless and will not do anything to address the ongoing coup-d-etat. A lawless government has _no_ authority over We-The-People.
We-The-People will have to do things the way our Fathers did, or USA is truely dead. Duh.
Yep
I agree with Rove.
Most of the court cases have involved failure to review the evidence and rank cowardice
Please do not join the completely out-maneuvered Rove and the rest of the normalcy trace. Our enemies are so overwhelming powerful and entrenched, the few real USAians may not be able to recover this Republic.
Fight or USA and you will perish.
Actually, his name is “Turd Blossom”.
