Karl Rove criticized former President Donald Trump this week following the arraignment over his alleged mishandling of classified documents, warning that “America will pay a high price for the former president’s reckless petulance.”
Rove, a former top aide to former President George W. Bush, wrote in an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that “America has been plunged into an unprecedented crisis by the indictment of Donald Trump.”
“The blame for this calamity rests solely on Mr. Trump and his childish impulse to keep mementos from his time in the Oval Office, no matter what the law says,” Rove said.

Oh, good Lord, please. We are being invaded by millions across our southern border, inflation is out of control. We are almost in WWIII with Russia, but the DOJ has time and resources to waste on the former president holding some paper? So the unprecedented, historical step is taken to indict him and our side claps a hooray?

Who truly thinks Karl Rove is "on our side" just because he worked for Bush the Younger?

George Bush and those associated with him have all gone lower in my estimation, and I used to think Bush was a decent man.

I can’t think of words contemptible enough to describe blaming POTUS Donald Trump for the malicious, unfounded, unprecedented and unrelenting attacks against him for 7 + years. It’s particularly contemptible when considering the egregious & truly harmful things deliberately done to this country by people Rove & his ilk support & embrace as comrades.
I’m ashamed that I was ever blinded by anything that came out of his mouth. But, more than that, I am heartbroken that the good that I believed about them wasn’t true.

Rove has absolutely no grasp of the case. Unfortunately, there are still people around who believe he knows what he's talking about.

To Karl Rove: can we then talk about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan plus the WMD's in Syria?

Karl Rove. Karl Rove? Where have I heard that name? Oh I remember now. He's that guy that hated conservatives so much he took a nice cowboy and shoved him over to the dark side. The nice cowboy garnered plenty of love and respect back in the day. Now it's twilight in America. Get the hook!

Old "T* Blossom" is still at it. [*President Bush's nickname for Karl Rove isn't allowed here by Lucianne's language monitors. That's OK. I'll refer to Karl Rove as Mr. Blossom.]
Yesterday I saw a clip from a recent Jeopardy show in which none of the contestants recognized the Lord's Prayer. It was astonishing.
And yet here Mr. Blossom seems not to know the words "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime," where they came from or what they mean.
Or maybe he's simply revealing his true allegiances.

By the way, this is why I am disappointed with the Republican/conservative party base. We should be uplifting and respectful of each other but we have denigrated into name calling and bashing each other. It is bad enough that the Democrats/liberals participate in the name calling and bashing of the Republican party but do we need to do to each other?
Another comment to Karl Rove: how about stating a positive about every person campaigning for the presidency?

Mr. Rove has never uttered or written support for President Trump even though he is still the most accomplished republican president in a four year term ever. MAGA

In past years, Rove seemed (to me), wise and balanced. Presently, he is (to me) off the wall.

Karl Rove... His day is done. His allegiance to the globalist, exposed. A traitor to America.
America has been asleep since the start of the 20th Century. But slowly, we're waking up. We will hold these traitors to account. Perhaps, we will eliminate such evil elsewhere in the World.

Karl Rove attacks Trump because he is a big government deep state member. He wants to maintain and grow his deep state position.

As i recall the left opinion was that rove and bush invaded iraq because of bush’s “daddy issues.” Now it’s Trump’s petulance.
Rove gives no facts that show that Trump did anything any differently from any other departing president. Including bush.
Since facts that clearly show Trump’s conduct to have been wrongful would be detrimental to Trump, and rove wants to blast Trump, i can only conclude rove has no such facts.

Good grief, even herpes goes away once in a while.
He is another great example of why people hate republicans. He helped with one campaign that didnt lose and he's made a career out of it.
Just shut up Rove. Go away.

Rove has always been a never Trumper. Nothing has changed. He never has anything to offer, but someone at Fox continues to pay him to say this stuff. I wish he would take his white board and stuff it!

did Karl say anything about the clintoons taking mementos from the WH when they left. as in furniture and china, and silverware and many other objects. Gifts that were given that really belong to the American people, they kept. Every p0reident is allowed to take things for their library. When rove come on my tv i change the channel

Who believe President Trump packed up the boxes for the move from DC to FL?
Does Karl Rove know that NARA didn't help pack the boxes, which is the ONLY time they didn't help a President pack to ensure THEY protected the documents that needed to be preserved by the National Archives?

I just want to know if Rove actually believes what he is saying. If he does, he is a fool. If he doesn't, he is a liar. Are we supposed to believe Washington is going after Trump because of his temperament? No way. Trump upset too many apple carts and stepped on too many feet with his policies.
The other thing of interest is who is coming out on behalf of our corrupt and tyrannical government on the Republican side telling us what to think. Namely Kark Rove and Bill Barr. We have government spokesmen and influencers!
Not buying any of this.

Potato Head Karl Rove and the rest of the Bushie's including Dumbo Dana Perino hate PDJT for several reasons. The main one is because during the 2015 Republican primaries he made JEB look like the complete weak fool that he was. Does anyone think that he could've taken on the Clinton machine and won. Me neither. The really funny thing is that Rove and the BOHICA Republicans still think that their opinions matter. I'd like to take his White board and write on it a few choice words about why that is not the case.

Au contraire! The blame for this calamity rests solely on the "childish impulse" of the Dims to Destroy Donald Trump because they see him as a threat to their desire to destroy America as we know it.

#13 is correct. The left and the media are loving this infighting. I wish all of our candidates would concentrate on sticking to the issues and tell us their plans for making things better. They are just giving ammunition to Biden and the other crazies on the left.
