Karl Rove: Trump Knows He’s Lying About Me

Posted by | November 25, 2015 19:00 | Filed under: Politics Radio Interviews


Republican strategist Karl Rove was on my radio show Monday night talking about his book on the 1898 election and its relevance to today’s races. He also addressed the rhetoric that has flown his way from The Donald.

Virtually unknown outside Washington, a coalition of hardline conservative groups are fighting to seize control of the Republican agenda. (AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli, File)

ROVE: Where he comes up with this $400 million and never won a single race, first of all, he normally says $480 million. I wish Crossroads had in the five years had raised $480 million. And if he thinks we have not won a single race, I point him to the 10 new members of the United States Senate last year. Dan Sullivan in Alaska, Steve Daines in Montana, Corey Gardner in Colorado, Joni Ernst in Iowa, who got elected with the support of American Crossroads. We have spent a lot of money and most of it has been spent in winning causes…He doesn’t care, he knows that it’s a lie but he doesn’t care…

COLMES: When you met him recently in a green room in this building, and he was a hail fellow well met.

ROVE: He came in to see me, I was standing in the green room, so that he would have to know that I was there and somebody apparently told him I was there. So he comes in and says, “Hello, how are you? This is a weird election!” and shakes my hand. I said, “Well, this is a weird election.” He says, “Have you ever seen anything as strange as this one?” I said, “I finished a book about one that’s even stranger than this.” Chit-chatting, he’s shaking my hand, he turns to John Bolton, I’ve got Howie Kurtz standing there as well, he starts taking his other hand, starts pointing at me and saying, “I need to get this guy in my corner, I want this guy in my corner.” And I couldn’t contain myself saying, “No you don’t. You call me a loser and say we spent $480 million and didn’t win a single race, don’t be kidding me. You don’t want me on your side.” And it was like slapping him with a wet towel. Because he was a little taken aback by it. It was cordial, we wished each other the best. But I think he really believed all he had to do was come in and turn on that Donald Trump charm and I’d forget the fact that he was out there trashing my posterior every time.

    Everybody that talks about Karl Rove has to lie. Nobody uses filthy enough language to speak the truth about him, not even Republican Preachers.

    the best thing about trump is The truth will be a very short speech

    • Larry Schmitt November 25th, 2015 at 19:33

      Shortest speech he ever will give.

    What’s the difference, they all lie about each other, they lie about themselves, they lie about the sun coming up in the east, they lie because it’s what they do best. It’s part of their job description. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

    Filthy a$$holes meeting poisoned the Green Room…

    Trump is just a flash-in-the-pan showboater, but Karl Rove will always be remembered as the lowly TURD (“turd” being the operative word here) blossom that he is.

    Trump’s narcissism can’t admit that someone he might want “on his side” doesn’t think he’s the best person in the world. I’m sure he left the conversation calling Turd Blossom a “loser” again. So insecure…

    If you would of told me 8 years ago that there would be a story about rove and I would actually take the side of rove, I would of smacked you silly.

    At this point, you could tell me that Rove drinks puréed puppies through a sandpaper straw in front of 5 year olds, and I wouldn’t be surprised.
    The man is scum.

    “That Donald Trump charm?”
    Nah, I’m just not seeing it. But then apparently I’m blind because there are a lot of freaks out there who are buying his BS.

    Trump, Rove, Bolton, and Kurtz all in one room at the same time? Where’s an alien abduction when you need one?

  14. fahvel November 26th, 2015 at 10:08

    but such a trashable ass as I remember.

  15. Wendy Sibley November 26th, 2015 at 19:07

    What a bizarre encounter. Betcha anything that “the man with the greatest memory in the world” honestly couldn’t remember who Karl Rove was, and what he recently said about him. He was genuinely puzzled.
