Rumors have gone viral that former G.W. Bush Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is in Pennsylvania stumping for Kamala Harris.  The following post has been viewed over 1 million times in less than 24 hours!

According to Rasmussen and multiple other polling institutions, President Trump has indeed flipped Pennsylvania — as we have reported on today.  But the question now is whether or not Rove has indeed joined up with team Kamala as social media seems convinced he has — as have several former Bush officials, notably Dick Cheney.

It certainly sounds as though he’s a Kamala-sympathizer, at the very least.  Just from the video above, there’s no doubt he’s not a fan of President Trump… if there was any question of that before now.

There is certainly no love lost between President Trump and Karl Rove.  That’s a hard fact.  Here’s President Trump mentioning Rove in his CPAC speech last year, in case you need convincing of how President Trump REALLY feels about Rove.

But the question remains — is Karl Rove actually campaigning for Kamala Harris as so many are saying on social media?  In my search for that answer, I found this recent clip in which Rove did indeed defend Tim Walz while appearing on Fox News!

I don’t suspect John Roberts expected the answer Rove gave him when he raised the question about those who don’t trust Walz based on his many “misstatements”, but according to The Daily Beast which reported on that specific exchange, even Roberts’ mocking of Walz after playing the clip didn’t fly well with Rove!

During the Friday segment, Fox News anchor John Roberts played a clip of ABC’s Michael Strahan asking Walz what he would say to people who don’t trust the Minnesota governor given his past misstatements.

Walz replied, “I know that things get spun in a political environment. But I think what they see is, if they want to compare that talking about immigration policy or seeing the things Donald Trump would say, I think there’s a big difference than missing a date when you’re there, and again spinning something for political reasons.”

After the clip, Roberts mocked the Minnesota governor for being a self-described “knucklehead.” But instead of joining him, Rove offered a better answer to the question—and a defense of Walz.

“If just he simply said, ‘Look, I’ve misspoken and I apologize for it. I understand—I have been informed by my experiences, but yes, I have mangled dates and put myself in places I wasn’t, but it was unintentional and I wasn’t trying to mislead. You know, I am proud of my record as a member of Congress, as governor of an important state. But yeah, have I mis-spoken? You bet. And for that I’m sorry,’” Rove said.

Scott Adams shared this to X.com last night, presumably in response to the upcoming Kamala Harris interview with Brett Baier, and not necessarily in reaction to the rumors about Rove campaigning for Kamala.  Though I do find the connection intriguing.

Nevertheless… it seems as though for all the viral potency of the rumor, Karl Rove does not appear to be campaigning for Kamala Harris.  To borrow a quote from the CIA, “I can neither confirm, nor deny” that as fact, but I can reasonably tell you based on a complete lack of information in the media — I find it highly unlikely that Rove is actually on the Kamala campaign trail.

That said… I never realized until now just how hardcore anti-Trump Karl Rove really is, nor did I understand how willing he has been to hand out excuses to the likes of Tim Walz.

I’m going to call it — Karl Rove is off the hook for the time being as far as the rumors are concerned.  He is not campaigning for Kamala Harris.  But in terms of being an establishment RINO willing to play ball with the Democrats?  Karl Rove is firmly on that hook, as far as I’m concerned.
