Joke Gone Wrong: Karl Roves Says ‘Donna Brazile Owes Me Some Fried Chicken’
During an appearance on ABC’s This Week, Republican strategist Karl Rove joked with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile about the state of the Republican Party – only it took a puzzling turn.
During an exchange about what seemed to be a bet between the two political experts, Brazile jokingly said that Rove owed her some chili.
“You owe me some fried chicken,†Rove joked with a Southern drawl.
While Brazile did not seem bothered by the joke on air, many liberal blogs and Twitter avids ridiculed Rove for the joke’s racial implications.
