Vice President-elect J.D. Vance shot to political superstardom during the last election.
While most Americans are excited for what he’ll do in the Trump administration, establishment RINOs are looking for anyway to torpedo him.
And Karl Rove exposed the RINO establishment’s post-Trump master plan with this pathetic attack against J.D. Vance.
RINOs running scared
With President-elect Donald Trump’s historic 2024 victory, the America First movement not only positioned itself to bring about massive change over the next four years, but potentially, the next 12 years – at least.
That’s largely because this time around, the America First movement has developed a formidable bench of potential candidates who can lead them into the future.
And at the top of that list of potential candidates is none other than Vice President-elect J.D. Vance.
But the RINO establishment wants nothing more than for Trump’s final term in office to be the end of the America First movement, and as a result, they’re already going to great lengths to destroy Vance ahead of 2028.
That was proven beyond any reasonable doubt when The New York Times recently ran a piece highlighting the fact that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (RINO-KY) political hatchet man, Steven Law, is retiring in the wake of McConnell’s decision to step back from his “leadership” position.
You see, Law ran McConnell’s political machine, helping raise more than $2 billion to specifically defeat conservative candidates in Republican Senate Primaries through the Kentucky Senator’s Senate Leadership Fund and other entities.
Senator McConnell has already previously complained that Trump’s emergence as the leader of the GOP has made his effort to exclusively elect RINOs he can control much more difficult.
“In the Trump era, I do think there’s been some more difficulty in terms of getting quality candidates,” McConnell claimed. “I think loyalty to the subsequent Presidential nominee became extremely important to him. And we had some situations, like in 2022, where we were simply stuck with people that couldn’t win in Arizona and Georgia and New Hampshire.”
Vance’s own 2022 Senate campaign highlighted McConnell’s efforts to destroy America First candidates – Senate Leadership Fund and other establishment PACs went all-in on kneecapping Vance’s campaign during the GOP Primary before ultimately supporting him in the final weeks of the campaign when it became clear that he was still going to win without them.
But in pointing that out, The New York Times quoted Rove as erroneously claiming that Law and McConnell’s political machine had somehow “dragged” Vance across the finish line.
“There was a candidate running in Ohio who was a terrible fund-raiser and was not a particularly effective candidate and the rest of the Republican ticket is winning by — from 18 to 24 points,” Rove said. “But JD Vance gets dragged across the finish line by Steven Law.”
Trump campaign manager sounds off on “the slimeball Karl Rove”
Of course, in reality, Vance won his Senate race by a rather comfortable margin while RINO candidates in similar races significantly underperformed despite having the establishment’s full support.
In response, Trump senior advisor Chris LaCivita pointed out the undeniable fact that Rove is merely a “jacka**.”
“This is a crappy way to compliment someone – but There is always going to be that one gratuitous jacka** spouting BS – some people just can’t help themselves,” LaCivita wrote on X in response to The Times’ piece.
But there has long been no love lost between Vance and Rove.
After Vance won his 2022 Senate race, he appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and bashed Rove for his extensive efforts to defeat Vance during that year’s GOP Primary.
“If you think of some of my biggest enemies in this primary – you know the slimeball Karl Rove, who shipped a lot of American jobs overseas and got rich in the process, and also sent a lot of Americans to die in stupid conflicts,” Vance said at the time. “You know, Karl Rove spent a lot of money, he wrote a lot of op-eds criticizing my candidacy, even called my donors after Trump endorsed me, encouraging them to drop my campaign.”
“So in a lot of ways, what this revealed is that you have some very corrupt political consultants in the Republican Party who despise their own voters,” he added.
Needless to say, the RINO establishment always thought that they just had to get rid of Donald Trump to stop the America First movement and take back control of the Republican Party.
But they’re starting to realize that thanks to J.D. Vance – and many others – the America First movement is here to stay.
