At a press conference today in Washington, Karl Rove was seen assaulting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s intelligence, claiming that she would too smart to become a candidate for the Republican Party.

Rove, former President George W. Bush’s political strategist, remained unapologetic as he broke down Clinton’s mental health and stability.

“The injury may have caused some brain damage but Republicans need more than that,” said Rove.“She is too mentally stable to ever be considered for the GOP.”

The attacks were based off reports in 2012 that Clinton suffered a concussion after she had fainted and hit her head. Clinton’s injury required hospitalization for several days due to a blood clot near her brain.

Former vice president, Dick Cheney, also told reporters that he was surprised how she handled being Secretary of State as a brain damaged woman. He criticized Clinton as for being behind the attacks on Benghazi and that her brain wasn’t damaged enough.

“Orchestrating a terrorist attack in Benghazi clearly shows she’s too smart for the GOP already.” said Cheney. “All the responsibility should be place on her and clearly already she’s too smart for me.”

Cheney’s allegations came amidst heavy criticism against Clinton for an attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. Investigations of the attack that killed ambassador Christopher Steven and three other Americans were recently tasked by House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).

Other Republican members were also quick to attack Clinton on the Benghazi situation such as Republican national Committee Chairman Reince Priebus. Priebus said that he thought Clinton had suffered brain damage but also coordinated the Benghazi attacks.

“I wouldn’t trust that combination. She must be a genius and she’s way too smart for any Republican.” said Priebus.

Many were also quick to dismiss Rove’s allegations such as Hillary’s husband Bill Clinton, who decided to defend Hilary by announcing that his wife was much smarter than himself.

“These allegations are so silly,” former President Clinton said. “She’s definitely smarter than me, just look at what happened to me with Monica Lewinsky.” Clinton said jokingly.

The attacks by Republicans on Clinton were possibly politically motivated, targeted towards her potential 2016 presidential campaign. Recent polls show Hillary Clinton as a front-runner in the upcoming 2016 presidential election with the latest data showing that Clinton currently leads against all GOP candidates for the upcoming elections and most importantly in swing states.
