Karl Rove: Democratic Responses To Trump's Speech 'Affected His Delivery'

Former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove said Wednesday that Democrats' less-than-enthusiastic responses to President Donald Trump's speech to Congress "affected his delivery."

"You could tell it affected his delivery a little bit," Rove said Wednesday in an interview on Fox Business Network. "He started reading almost exclusively from the panel to his left, which allowed him to look at the right side of the chamber, which were the Republicans."

He said that Democrats were "in an awkward place" during the speech and looked "churlish and small" in their reactions.

"They don’t like him, they didn't want to seen as, you know, they're being pressed by their hard left to oppose him on each and every thing," Rove said. "I mean, when he denounced hate and evil in all of its forms, a lot of Democrats didn’t applaud and very few of them stood. That’s just how poisoned the atmosphere is."

1. How did Obama feel when a Republican shouted "You lie!"

[Volaris]

16. It hardly affected his delivery at all...

Because Barrack is an adult AND a Professional.
Donald is neither.
Keep Denying. Keep Resisting. Fuck how it makes him feel.

17. They're the delicate snowflakes.

2. They aren't going to normalize him in any way

and they shouldn't.

Yes he clearly wouldn't/couldn't look at the Dem side for most of the speech.

3. I wondered when he was going to slither out from under his rock.

I have been surprised he hasn't joined chumps administration.

18. Roves way too professional for any of that.

Just because he's an evil asshole, doesn't mean he's a STUPID evil asshole. He knows full well that when this administration tanks, LOT of people are going to have their dirty laundry aired out, and he ain't gonna have any of that, thank you very much. He's already off Scott Free for the crimes of his administration, he's not going to go down for these clowns.

4. Poor Little Cons

Those big meanie Dems

You wrote the book on poisoning the atmosphere. Go to hell. Russia won't save your sorry ass. When this country goes down. You go down too.

7. oops....from the above

Karl Rove now denies reports that he said Hillary Clinton may have brain damage. “I never used that phrase,” he said on Fox News. True. What Rove said was, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

8. Unlike most Republicans

Democrats are smart and independent.
We don't stand and applaud a tinpot despot's
vacuous bullshit... like 'denouncing evil in all its forms.
Keep resisting, Dems !

[gratuitous]

9. Le pauvre!

President Trump should just resign. That would show those mean meanies! Is Trump going to run down the hall to his room, slam the door and throw himself sobbing on his bed, Karl?

[yallerdawg]

10. Applaud...

lies and deception and racism and religious bigotry - and unprecedented divisiveness?

Everyone must drink the Kool-Aid. My ass.

[kairos12]

11. Don't validate Drumpt in anyway ever. Resistance and contempt for him only.

[msongs]

12. so did the repubs do a seig heil salute each time the applause sign was waved? missed it, sorry nt

[Bucky]

13. Calling for a waaaambulance.

[lpbk2713]

14. Karl Rove is an authority on poisoning the atmosphere.

And Trump is easily distracted. Not a good quality for someone in the Executive Office.

15. Karl who?

Go away. Your stench still hovers from 2000-2008. Also, you're bush league compared to the current fascist regime.
