Rove, Gillespie Slam Obama for Spreading 'Baseless Lie' Over Foreign Contributions

[Geee]

Fox News:

Two top Republicans lit into President Obama and the Democratic Party Sunday over accusations that the GOP strategists and the Chamber of Commerce were using foreign contributions to influence the election, calling the claim a "baseless lie" and accusing the president of "abuse of power."

Karl Rove, a Fox News contributor, said on "Fox News Sunday" that the president had gone too far.

"Have these people no shame? Does the president of the United States have such little regard for the office that he holds that he goes out there and makes these kind of baseless charges against his political enemies?" Rove said. "This is just beyond the pale. How dare the president do this."

I don't think I have seen Rove so angry. And deservedly so.

 

If there is a WH presser Monday, it should be interesting. Let Gibbs try to wiggle out of this one.

The DNC is contributing to the lie.
