Karl Rove Shocked How 'Deeply Divided' Americans Are on RFK Jr., ICE [View all]

Former Bush White House senior advisor Karl Rove said he is shocked how “deeply divided” Americans are on topics like immigration, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to major cities.

Rove, during an appearance on The Journal Editorial Report on Fox News on Saturday, said he was alarmed by a new Quinnipiac poll that found a majority of Americans believe democracy “is not working.”

But more than that, Rove said he was thrown off by how far apart Democrats and Republicans are on key issues — so much so that he pulled out a white board to walk host Paul Gigot through the issues, line by line.

Rove highlighted 11 topics where Dems and Republicans have a Grand Canyon-like chasm between them, like immigration, where 87% of Republicans agree with President Trump’s approach, and only 5% of Democrats approve. On RFK Jr., 81% of Republicans said they can trust him on medical information, compared to only 8% of Democrats, and on whether democracy is currently working or not, 74% of Republicans said it was, while only 21% of Democrats agreed.
