Republican personality Karl Rove fired remarks back at former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, according to CNN.
This comes after Palin attacked him for his involvement in the Republican Primaries last year.
Palin gave a speech on Saturday, at the Conservative Political Action Conference, also known as CPAC, in Washington D.C.
"If these experts who keep losing elections and keep getting rehired and raking in millions, if they feel that strongly about who gets to run in this party, then they should buck up or stay in the truck. Buck up and run," Palin said according to CNN. "The architects can head on back."
Rove, who was a former advisor to President George W. Bush, is now head of American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. The organizations are widely known for financially supporting "conservative candidates" in the 2012 elections and the 2010 mid-terms.
So when Palin made her comments at CPAC, many figured they were directed at Rove. Palin said those in attendance should be the ones choosing the candidates. It's not up to big players in Washington.
"If she can play in the primaries, other people can play in primaries," Rove said on "Fox News Sunday." "First of all, I live in Texas, and I don't live in Washington.
"Second of all, look, Sarah Palin should be agreeing with this. She didn't support Todd Akin, and when he said the reprehensible things he said, she wisely came out and said he ought to get out of the race," he said, according to CNN..
Rove was making reference to the statement Akin made about rape that proved to be his downfall in the U.S. senate campaign. Palin had supported his competitor Sarah Steelman.
