Former Clinton strategist James Carville has sounded the alarm this week claiming that former president Donald Trump will arrest them all if he is elected in November.
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Carville told host Ari Melber.”
“Trump goes out, and he says I’m going to use the military to arrest my political enemies, and then Mike Johnson’s and Lindsey Graham, and the Wall Street Journal editorial pages say oh no, that’s not what he meant and then he comes back and says yeah, that’s exactly what I meant.”
“You know what’ll happen? You pointed it out; if he wins, he will say, I told people I was going to do this,” Carville said.
“I have the legitimacy of an election behind me, and he will have a point.”
He continued:
“People say what’s at stake in this election, okay, the Constitution is at stake, the whole idea of I don’t know if you call a constitutional republic, whatever highbrow people call it, I get it, we live under a set of laws is literally at risk, and he is telling you that.”
“People want to know about weakness among males of color. They are going to arrest all of you,” he added.
“You don’t think you have a stake in this election. Guess what? You are not going to do very well. I’m not going to do well. You are not going to do well.”
“When the paddywagon comes, you and I are going to be in the back of it, bouncing around, and it’s not going to be very much fun, and they will tell you, the judge said, I’m sorry, Mr. Melber, I’m sorry Mr. Carville, Trump said he was going to get rid of the Constitution, I have no choice but to enforce the democratic laws of this country. That will happen. It’s not far-fetched.”
Melber said:
“I will say it as clearly as I can based on the evidence. It’s not far-fetched at all.”

Carville better have that wastebasket handy.
Paddy Wagon? What an ignorant and insensitive comment. He should be forced into sensitivity training and have to apologize to all Irish Americans.
Jim, you’re not worrying about being treated the way you Democrats treated Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, are you?
Did he have the brown paper bag or the trash can over his head?
I might have to sign up for cable just to see the tears on election night like eight years ago.
Even though the military would -- rightly -- never follow those orders, so the whole thing is a fantasy, it is our own (including Trump's) own rhetoric that lets them make these accusations with a straight face.
NOTE TO CARVILLE:
IT IS BIDEN’S DOD who just gutted the POSSE COMATITUS ACT of 1878 on 9-27-2024.
THAT LAW IS 146 years old.
NOT TRUMP.
The ‘Posse Comitatus Act of 1878’ prevents any POTUS from using the military as law enforcement officers...........
James, I already voted for him, I don’t need any more reasons.
They no longer follow it. A new military directive issued just a few week ago allows the military to use lethal force on citizens on American soil.
“ROUNDING US UP” might be A LOT harder than ‘leaving the doors open’
He knows the low info audience at MSNBC will believe it.
Absolutely correct. Which is why it is so damn dumb to threaten it in the first place. Why hand them that ammo?
Not all. Just the ringleaders, like Carville.
Trump could use the men in white coats to haul James away.
James isn’t a ‘ringleader’ any more. His glory days are long gone. He’s just a armchair ‘cheerleader’ now.............
