Karl Rove Loses It On Fox News Election Night

"Fox News had what can only be described as an insane argument with itself over whether or not President Obama had won Ohio, and the presidency.

The network seemed quite confident in its projections at first, but suddenly, pundit Karl Rove — who, as leader of a huge conservative Super PAC has something of an interest in the outcome of the race — began to pour cold water on the call.

Fox News' Chris Wallace then said that Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign is contesting the network's decision to call President Obama's re-election.

Rove said it was "premature" and "early" to make any real decisions.

"So, maybe not so fast, folks!" Wallace said. There was a pained silence.

"Uh, thank you!" Bret Baier said. "That's awkward," Megyn Kelly added."*

Cenk Uygur breaks down why it might not be great to have a Super PAC owner as a political analyst and the embarrassing way he acted and Fox News responded on air.

As a conservative Republican I can say that Karl Rove is a joke. Pretty sure he still thinks Mitt Romney won.

[psychoabattoirhorror]

Kind of funny hearing Rove tell Fox that they have to be careful about calling thing before it's over since that's how his boy GW won his first term.

Ohio has 18 electoral college votes.  Obama beat Romney by 126 e.c. votes, 332 to 206.  Obama's win of Ohio wasn't even necessary or decisive

[AtlanticZealot]

A little after the 1:00 mark Karl Rove states something about Romney being behind 991 ish votes, but the on screen graphic shows a difference of over 30, 000 votes. Just sayin'

I hate Fox news but I watched them during the election just because I had to see the rage lol

[kwolf]

I really loved the part when his co-hosts starting laughing at him Priceless.

I want to respect Megyn Kelly so bad and sometimes she does some smart things and then she turns around and says/does the most ignorant things I've ever witnessed.

[kenthescot]

Anytime I'm having a bad day I just watch this video and feel immediately better.

[mikew]

I still watch that YouTube video it is still funny in April 2015 I laugh all the time I watch

[richinoable]

Poor karl, 8+ years later, unable to rise to the level of partial relevance he once held. Now he's the swamp! Hahahahaahha

[THEREDDRAGON]

I was watching this play out on Fox - Karl pointing and writing frantically - - - it reminded me of one of those gangster movies where the lead guy just realizes he is in some DEEP DooDoo because he lost the bosses a LOT of money

[jessicaoctostar]

I like to think Karl went home and trashed his living room in a rage while shedding angry tears. At the very least he had to make some humiliating phone calls to his suckers to explain why they lost

[zekeman]

It was because Karl knew that the election was supposed to be already bought.

Easy road to become a millionaire

1 be a well known bigoted ass,  keep telling reps whatever they wanna hear
2 raise funds pretending you are helping them win elections
3 keep the money no matter what

[NIGHTCARGO]

"Who's gonna drop that elbow? Ohh! It's Karl Rove, dropping the elbow on himself for being so Got-damned (sic) wrong!" Hahaha! Loved it!

[wangson]

anyone bothered to read those subtitled closed captions?  oh my goodness!  they're the best part!

[jschultzVII]

Thanks for posting that. I sat through the whole 24 minutes.

Cheers.

[vector]

thru it all, gotta admit: Megyn's hot

[UltimaKeyMaster]

Hell, she looked like she had sarcasm pouring out of her voice. Like "oh yeah, we TOTALLY need to check the call cause Karl Rove said so", and cue her mental snickering. XD

I cant wait for Trump dramatic lost reaction!!
