I’m not familiar with the remarks - though I am familiar with the fact that Rove is not a candidate so he can’t “step down” - making that a meaningless argument.
Rove was White House Deputy Chief of Staff for George W. Bush. He's now a political consultant (hack) that uses the media to gets his message across that the GOP RINOS are gods and should be bowed down to.
He needs to just climb under a rock and stop helping the marxist kenyan win another term.
