Karl Rove Dismisses Trump Insults: 'I Really Don't Care'
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump blamed Republican strategist Karl Rove and Senator John Cornyn for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's weakening Senate campaign, despite multiple controversies surrounding Paxton.
- Paxton, endorsed by Trump, is trailing Democratic opponent James Talarico in polls, partly due to leaked audio where Paxton blamed Trump's unpopular Iran war for his campaign struggles.
- Trump criticized Rove and Cornyn on Truth Social, accusing them of undermining Paxton's chances against Talarico, whom Trump labeled a "Radical Left Lunatic."
- Karl Rove dismissed Trump's accusations on Fox News, suggesting Trump fears Paxton will lose and is seeking someone to blame, while asserting his own effectiveness in past elections.
- Rove expressed indifference to Trump's comments, indicating he does not understand or care about the president's critique.
