(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Republican in name only extraordinaire Karl Rove has abandoned his former party, choosing to back Democrat Attorney General Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania, JD Rucker reported.
The former Bush administration hack is using his American Crossroads Super PAC to attack Shapiro’s conservative gubernatorial candidate in Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano, for being too conservative.
Rove has called Mastriano “extreme,” rebuking him for his pro-family policies and his insistence that the law be enforced equally on all, regardless of race. Rove now finds himself on the same side as leftist oligarch George Soros, who has also backed failed Pennyslvinia AG Shapiro.
Rove’s support was made apparent in a recent advertisement, wherein Rove’s PAC rebuked Senatorial candidate John Fetterman, but praised Shapiro.
Have yall seen the new "Republican" PAC commercial that says Shapiro is NOT as bad as Fetterman?
Yeah, that just happened. 🧐, but carry on.

In the ad, Fetterman is blamed, and Shapiro by contrast is praised.
“John Fetterman’s record on crime is crazy,” one woman in the ad says. “He’s not like most Democrats,” a man in the ad adds.
“225 times, Josh Shapiro voted against the criminals, but Fetterman voted to release them. That’s nuts. Fetterman is way more radical than Shapiro,” a group of voters adds, seemingly endorsing Shapiro by way of slamming Fetterman.
Many on Twitter were not amused.
Karl Rove is the snake we always knew he was
He'd rather launch wars in the Middle East and send our jobs to China than actually do anything to help the American people
He knows how his story ends https://t.co/L5krJyjY1D

“Karl Rove is the snake we always knew he was,” Right-wing Twitter personality Jack Posobiec wrote. “He’d rather launch wars in the Middle East and send our jobs to China than actually do anything to help the American people. He knows how his story ends.”
Rove has accumulated quite a history of backing Democrats when push comes to shove, even supporting the so-called “dreamers,” granting amnesty to over one million illegal immigrants.
