Karl Rove continues to advance his “brain injury” attack on Hillary Clinton, most recently during an appearance on Fox News Sunday.
The panel seemed shocked by Rove’s refusal to stop suggesting that Clinton had a “brain injury” in the wake of being shunned by his own party for the attack.
Rove insisted he had not initiated any attack, telling the panel: “I’m not the person who said brain damage! A concussion is by definition a traumatic brain injury.”
Fox News contributor Kirstin Power shot back: “Karl! Come on!”
Rove continued the attack, adding:
“So is a blood clot in the brain. My point is this, she’s a human being. You would not be human, and not have a serious brain injury — like this was — and take it into consideration if you’re thinking about going and doing what she might do.”
Fox contributors Powers and Juan Williams both suggested to Rove that he was “generating sympathy” for Clinton with his continued attacks.
Williams forcefully stated:
“This was a harsh attack by Karl. This is a personal attack. It wasn’t about ideas. The GOP at this moment is apoplectic over Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is to blame for Benghazi. Hillary Clinton is to blame for Nigeria. Hillary Clinton is to blame for Monica Lewinsky. Hillary Clinton was a terrible Secretary of State! You guys are going crazy! You’re beating her about the head and generating sympathy for her.”
Rove shot back: “Be careful with your analogies. Hillary Clinton is going to have to cough up her medical records. Look, the Center for Disease Control says a concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury—” With Powers responding: “You’re doing it right now! You just stopped and now you’re doing it again.”
