Karl Rove Tells Dems To Hit Trump Hard Over Promise To Pardon J6 Insurrectionists

Karl Rove actually had some advice for Democrats that I agree with for once when it comes to Trump and his love for the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Rove made an appearance at the Rancho Mirage Writers Festival, and was asked by MSNBC's Ari Melber about "January 6th's enduring and really now shifting role in this campaign."

Melber reported that Rove argued that "Democrats should actually go even harder at Trump's lawless stance and the vow to pardon what Rove, and you're about to see this, what Mr. Rove calls MAGA thugs, not hostages."

ROVE: If they were smart, they'd take the January 6th and go hard at it, and they would say he wants to pardon these people who attacked our Capitol. I worked in that building as a young man. To me the Congress of the United States is one of the great examples of the strength of our democracy and a jewel of the Constitution.

And what those people did when they violently attacked the Capitol, in order to stop a constitutionally mandated meeting of the Congress to accept the results of the electoral college is a stain on our history, and everyone of those sons of bitches that did that, we ought to find them, try them and send them to jail.
