John Fetterman Calls Karl Rove A ‘Turd Blossom’ To Slam His Election Forecast
HuffPost
The Pennsylvania senator used an off-color term to describe the longtime Republican strategist.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) called GOP strategist Karl Rove a “turd blossom” for declaring that Democrats will likely lose their majority in the Senate come November.
The outspoken senator was objecting to Rove’s analysis in the Wall Street Journal. Sharing a screengrab of the WSJ headline, “Democrats Will Probably Lose the Senate,” Fetterman sniped on Wednesday:
“I like our odds, turd blossom. We improved our margin in ’22 when everyone was calling for a Dem bloodbath-ahem flipping PA- and there’s still a shitty roster in ’24 with several MAGA retreads. Humble yourself.”
Fetterman, of course, referenced his victory over Trump-backed Mehmet Oz in 2022 to bolster his argument.
He also borrowed “turd blossom” from a nickname that former President George W. Bush used for Rove, who helped the Republican get elected twice.
