Karl Rove blasts GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: 'She’s a problem for our party'

GOP strategist and Fox News contributor Karl Rove joined Fox News Primetime Tuesday where he shockingly agreed with congressional Democrats, though he’s not the first Republican to do so when it comes to freshman Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greene, who adheres to QAnon conspiracy theories, and has become a lighting rod in recent weeks as inflammatory statements she’s made in the past have come to light. Greene has indicated that she believes a plane did not hit the Pentagon on 9/11, the Clintons crashed JFK Jr’s plane and that the 2018 California wildfires were started by a space laser controlled by Jews. A video of her harassing Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg also recently resurfaced. Democrats have demanded that Greene lose her committee assignments, and Rove agrees.

“If you believe that the Jews control a space laser that starts fires in northern California, and that there’s some unnamed high-ranking government official who’s got a heretofore unknown security classification called Q, and all of the nutty things that flow with that,” Rove said, “you should be taken off the prestigious House Education and Labor Committee and confined to the dark recesses of the furthest building away from the House floor, and then let the voters decide in the next election. She is a problem for our party.”

KARL ROVE: If you believe that the Jews control a space laser that starts fires in northern California, and that there are some unnamed high ranking government official who's got a heretofore unknown security classification called Q and all the nutty things that flow with that--

KYLIE MAR: GOP strategist and "Fox News" contributor Karl Rove appeared on "Fox News Primetime" Tuesday, where he did not hold back while speaking about embattled GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who believes in QAnon conspiracy theories. In the past, Greene has made multiple inflammatory statements, including that the 2018 California wildfires were caused by a secret Jewish space laser. Democrats have demanded that Greene be removed from the Education and Labor Committee, and Rove agrees.

KARL ROVE: You should be taken off the prestigious House Education Labor Committee and confined to the dark recesses of the furthest building away from the House floor, and then let the voters decide in the next election. She is a problem for our party.

KYLIE MAR: And while the Republicans try to figure out how to handle Greene, Rove had some advice for those planning to run for office in 2022.

KARL ROVE: We need to figure out what we're for. We're going to find ourselves easy to oppose things that the Bush administration is doing, and that's important. But we've also got to decide what we're for. How do we take our conservative principles and apply them to the changing circumstances of this new century?
