He went for the base to get Bush elected twice. Played for the lowest common denominator. His candidate played stupid and used phrases like "fuzzy math." Constant appeals to racism. Cozy with Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. But he can't figure out how we got to this place. OK.

Exactly what I was thinking. He pushed and pushed and got the election of Al Gore stolen. Then he tried to deny Obama’s election. And he wonders how we got here? He will be listed in history as one of the instigators that tried to destroy our democracy. He is a traitor to our democracy.

YEP. Those who traffic in bigotry and conspiracy typically have demagoguery in their toolkit. Who used that to excess after 2001? Rove. So much so that tactic in particular was named for him. And that’s all Trump and Co. do now. Name-call and demagogue. Rove was the first fox in the henhouse.

Don’t assume that you were Neighbors and friends have a plan for voting… The elderly and people of color may be afraid to go vote… Let’s start asking now and let’s make this the largest voting population ever tallied in US history!💙🗳️🤠

This current moment is the world YOU BUILT, "Turd Blossom". You can't run away from what you enabled to come into being. 'Infiltrated'? Give me a break. You and yours are what made this current party and the current predicament.

Already well underway: The Republican effort to deny responsibility for its snowballing abandonment of democracy, justice, decency, and the rule of law since LBJ signed the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Like Nazis expressing shock that they've been "infiltrated" by fascists.

Republicans: Not so proud of your Party anymore? You're not alone. Your Party left you for billionaires, bullies, racists, cultists, liars & lunatics. Abandon the madness. Join your friends on the Blue team or the Independent team & move away from the wrong side of history. You'll be glad you did

GMAFB Karl. The GOP has been about racism and bigotry and conspiracy theories since I started voting in the late 70's. Who does he think he is kidding?

He groomed them well... Planted and tilled the soil until the spring chicks came home to roost. NOW he has an issue with the monster he feed? Mary Shelley knew the answer was to chase them into the frozen Arctic, never to be seen from again.

Still don’t get how he justifies Paxton and even more those who enable a Bo French by walking close to that line but not crossing. French (and the TX Railroad Commissioner role) are easy to dismiss. I’ll believe him when he goes a layer deeper

Sure, Karl. Both parties. I'm wondering when it is that he will take personal responsibility. THIS is the party he helped build. He needs to own it like Stuart Stevens. He should read: "IT WAS ALL A LIE." That's him.

Rove engineered the smear campaign that lied and lied about Ann Richards, one of the most successful governors in Texas that led to Bush getting elected. He is not one to talk as he was one of the architects of these kind of politics and divisive rhetoric.
