Karl Rove has made no secret of his distaste for Herman Cain, hitting the GOP candidate several times in the past for various reasons. On Tuesday, however, Rove sunk to a new level in his attack on Cain, explaining that Gloria Allred’s involvement gives “credibility” to the sexual harassment allegations that have been leveled against the candidate.

“Credibility matters here, and Gloria Allred—while she is a Democrat and a liberal Democrat and openly so—nonetheless, has been involved in a number of high-profile cases like Tiger Woods and others, where the charges have been borne out,” Rove said. “So this gives Ms. Bialek’s charges and accusations a little bit of credibility, and that’s what we’re talking about here—credibility.”
