Karl Rove, former lead advisor to George W. Bush, remains a loyal Bush-Cheney Republican through and through. Most of that crowd does not like Donald Trump. They agree with the Democrats that the January 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot was an “insurrection” against the federal government.
Needless to say, Rove has little sympathy for some caught up in the chaos of that day. Even those receiving harsh sentences for relatively benign crimes.
Nevertheless, Rove wants to go even harder on what he calls these “thugs” and “sons of bitches.”

Rove insists on hunting them down. And jailing them.
Trending Politics reports, “While appearing on an MSNBC panel in front of a live audience, the former Bush official was asked by network host Ari Melber about the best way for Democrats to attack Trump in 2024. Rove replied by enthusiastically stating that focusing on January 6 provides the best path to victory for President Biden in November.”
“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,’” Rove added.
“Trump has vowed to pardon the overwhelming majority of the 1,400 people who have been arrested in connection with the January 6 protests,” he continued. “Hundreds of protesters have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms due to the government’s use of an obscure legal theory used to charge defendants with felony ‘obstruction of an official proceeding’ charges when they would otherwise be charged with misdemeanors.”
But Rove doesn’t care. He wants to go hard at them.
Not surprisingly, he wants them jailed.

“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,” Rove said.
“And every one of those sons of b****es who did that, we ought to find them, try them, and send them to jail,” the former Bush counsel added, getting applause from the MSNBC audience.
Karl Rove’s audience is now closer to MSNBC Democrats than the Republican Party. Consequently, he found the perfect venue to make these remarks.
Thus, he should probably just stay there.
