Does he not know who he himself is?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Rove
In a profile which appeared in the December 15, 2011 issue of The New Republic, Rove, with his hands-on involvement with American Crossroads, was described as one of the shrewdest navigators of the political climate after the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision which exempted political broadcasts funded by corporations and unions from campaign finance limits. "Rove had no role in creating this new legal environment... but if Rove and his allies did not invent it, they certainly were adroit at exploiting it."[89]
Following Todd Akin's comments regarding "legitimate rape" and the notion that raped women are unlikely to become pregnant, Rove joked about murdering the Missouri Senate candidate, saying "We should sink Todd Akin. If he's found mysteriously murdered, don't look for my whereabouts!"[90][91] After multiple news outlets picked up on the story, Rove apologized for the remark.[92] Rove's Crossroads GPS organization had previously pulled its television advertising from Missouri in the wake of the comments.[93]
