DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): Let’s bring in Fox News contributor Karl Rove to help us with all of this. So, maybe -- your general takeaway from that 90-minute press conference today, Karl?
KARL ROVE (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Well, Mayor Giuliani said there was a centralized plot involving widespread voter fraud in big cities controlled by Democrats. Sidney Powell said the plot was communist in origin, that it had come from Venezuela and involved Hugo Chavez, and that George Soros and the Clinton Foundations were key participants in it, in the plot. These are serious, I think somewhat strange accusations, but serious and now both Mr. Giuliani and Ms. Powell have an obligation to go to court and prove them. Because we’re — these are questioning the fundamental fairness of our presidential election and alleging that there are conspirators who worked in major cities in an organized effort to engage in widespread voter fraud, and then foreign agents and powerful Americans, namely Soros and the Clinton Foundation, were involved.
So they've got an obligation to go to court and prove these, or the American people will have every reason to question their credibility. So, I’m not going to say that they don’t have proof. But they better come up with proof and go to court because these are serious allegations that basically say our election was manipulated by a combination of foreign and domestic actors and stolen. And that cannot be left just simply out there. It needs to be either proved or withdrawn. And the only way to do that is to take these accusations and go to court. Mayor Giuliani may be right that people who signed those affidavits don’t want their names exposed, but by God, you cannot make an accusation like that without following it through by going to court and trying to prove it. If it’s left out there it will be both unfair to the president if it’s true and unfair to the American people if it’s false.
PERINO: Dominion, the company that —
ROVE: Software.
PERINO: Yeah, the software company, you know, there was an accusation in that press conference that there's ties to Venezuela and more, you know, other things here. They've just put out a statement completely denying all of it. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they decided to take some sort of action against this because, as you said, they've had these allegations out there smearing an American company but where is — you know, are they going to take it to court? And where would they take that to court?
