Karl Rove came to Virginia Beach today for a fundraiser for Congresswoman Thelma Drake. His appearance drew a group of about 40 protesters, according to this PilotOnline article. The protesters held a mock trial for Rove, a portion of which appears in the video here.
Earlier this week, Democratic Delegates Bobby Mathieson and Joe Bouchard held a telephone conference and called for the fundraiser to be cancelled. In response, the Drake campaign has called for Democratic challenger Glenn Nye to return $4,000 received from NY Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel, who has admitted that he may have violated a house ethics rule.
I have an idea: how about Nye giving back the $4,000 and Drake giving back whatever she raised today ($50,000? $100,000?) and we’ll call it even 😉
