Karl Rove
Robert Pittenger
Karl Rove-backed Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) told North Carolina high school students that President Donald Trumpâs promise to build a southern border wall was just a âeuphemismâ â Trump was just talking about border security.
At the high school   Pittenger  said  âThe wall clearly expresses the intent  we must secure the southern border. I think he was conveying that to the American people and letting them know in the simplest  clearest terms.â
 Rep. Pittenger  then explained that Trumpâs most fundamental campaign promise simply serves as a metaphor to increased border security and that some areas of Americaâs southern border simply cannot have a wall.
âWhen you get into it  it would be impossible because of the topography â  Pittenger  said.
 Pittenger  also revealed that rather than have a wall  America would be better secured by various technologies such as satellite tracking and drones.  Pittenger  added that this was always Trumpâs intent to improve border security rather than build an actual  physical  wall.
Karl Rove  who backed  Rep. Pittenger   took to The Wall Street Journal to attack former White House chief strategist and Breitbart News executive chairman Steve Bannon and Bannonâs war against establishment Republicans.
Republican insiders said that having Rove back  Pittenger  serves as a political risk  in an age where many Republicans try to brand themselves as âTrump Republicans.â The GOP insider said  âHe makes it hard for  Pittenger  to say  âIâm a Trump Republicanâ because Rove has been so critical of President Trump.â
Dr. Mark Harris  a pastor and conservative  will run against  Rep. Pittenger  in the 2018 mid-term election. Harris only lost to  Pittenger  in a special election by 134 votes. In an exclusive radio interview  Harris spoke with Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125 with Matthew Boyle  Washington political editor for Breitbart News  about standing up against the Republican establishment  including Karl Rove-backed members.
Boyle asked  âWhy would  Pittenger  want to associate  himself  with Rove â as Trump told Breitbart News before  he  was elected that Rove was a âdishonorable guy.â
âI think it probably  as much as anything  demonstrates what we have really been trying to proclaim across this district and that is that they have just lost touch â Harris said. â Robert Pittenger  lost touch.â
â He  sold out  his  district â Harris told Breitbart News Daily Saturday. â He âs joined the club.  He âs not standing on the truest conservative principles.  He âs not been effective  and  he âs not a leader in the U.S. House.â Harris said there are lines being drawn in Washington between true conservatives and the establishment wing of the GOP.
