Republican strategist Karl Rove urged Democrats to “go hard” at former President Trump’s rhetoric surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, calling the former president’s pledge to free imprisoned rioters a “critical mistake.”
“If they were smart, they’d take the January 6 and go hard at it. And they would say, ‘He wants to pardon these people who attacked our Capitol,'” Rove said told MSNBC’s Ari Melber.
“One of the critical mistakes made in this campaign is that Donald Trump has now said ‘I’m going to pardon those people because they’re hostages,'” Rove said in the interview, which aired Wednesday. “No, they’re not, they’re thugs.”
Trump said last month that his first act if elected to the White House would be to free the imprisoned Jan. 6 rioters, whom he called “hostages.” The former president has expressed sympathy for those charged in connection with the insurrection on numerous occasions and spoke last year at a fundraiser organized for Jan 6. defendants.

Given what we know about the "party" these days, does anyone think any of them are Republicans? I mean, outside of a handful of true conservatives, the rest are just traitors like the democRATS across the aisle.
Let's not piss off the soccer moms by doing what's right! Don't upset the moderates by doing what's right!
Rove is a POS.The country is going to hell currently and these poofters are quibbling over idiotic talking points.
“I’m okay with the ‘violent instigators’ part; the were all undercover FBI and other government agitators.”
No, they were not. Yes there were absolutely government assets agitating, but do not think for one single second they were the ONLY bad actors in the crowd that day. That’s a complete falacy.
There were indeed people who came, purely to cause violence and trouble. Were they the majority? No they were not, but if you believe the ONLY bad actors in the crowd on Jan 6 were government agents and assets you are grossly mistaken.
Of more concern is the cold blood shooting and cover up of Ashley babbit
There’s also the issue of people who never set foot inside (as well as those who weren’t in DC) who were arrested.
Also, there’s those of us who remember the Marxist J6 Show Trial and want to prevent anything like it to ever happen again.
Rove, you magnificent bastard! (stress on the last word)
This idiot is not dead yet? I guess Turd Blossoms bloom in the spring.
The internet has search engines that could provide answers for all that.
And PROVE it in a real court of law, with an actual defense, with trial discovery. They won't do that because they know that the entire "insurrection" scam is just that - a scam.
If anybody needs to be arrested, it would be the FBI/antifa thugs that set this up along with their crooks on the J6 committee that have been hiding evidence from the people since day one. The entire insurrection is a lie.
Rove, Napolitano and Dick Morris are ALWAYS WRONG!! WHO PAYS THESE ISIOTS?
Who’s paying him?
Rove is pure GOP-e. He’s a DC Swamp rat.
FU Rove
the left is releasing murderers, rapists, armed illegal aliens, and child molesters onto the street, but you are worried that some J6 protesters might get pardoned!?!?
Inside seemed very calm, outside looked like one of the nicer BLM riots where they didn’t burn anything.

Some were Antifa.
Yes, and some were indeed right wing violent groups. The idea that you have a known planned event and MOB and that all players for one side are “good” is an insane stand to take.
People need to stop being so naive.
He really isnt. He lacks a certainly awareness that lots and lots of folks dont care about Jan 6th , they care about their wallets and not being stabbed or shot. The folks that do care understand there was no insurrection and when looked at objectively- can see it was an orchestrated effort to make Trump a criminal. These continual prosecutions are not wearing down Trumps support, if anything the further along these cases get, the more Trump looks like a martyr. What better way to defend you Jan 6ths actions and words than to proclaim those arrested were set up and being held as poltical prisoners, like a 3rd world country. That has to be Trump theme.... USAs descent into a Banana Republic.
AFAIC and what I’ll always believe is that the ‘instigators’ were either government, FBI or leftist affiliated groups out to sow trouble. The fallacy is in trusting the deep-state government against Trump was up to any good at all.
