Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed frustration with the state of his party on his podcast Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away with lying while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility.
Talking to guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said, “People say to me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just do like the Republicans do? Just stand up and lie?’ Because our f—ing people wouldn’t stand for it!” Carville said. “If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, ‘James Carville lost all credibility last night when he said X, Y and Z.’”
Carville, a longtime political talking head, was a top strategist for former President Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign.
“Yeah, I can spin,” Carville continued. “I can shade. Everybody does that. They just look you right in the eye and lie!” He added, “And then our people say, ‘We ought to lie like them!’ No, we shouldn’t! ‘Cause they would not do that. It would not go over well.”
President Clinton was impeached in 1998 by the House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice connected to his testimony about a relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
The issue of authenticity came up more recently during the 2024 election. A new book claimed Democrats had major concerns about former President Joe Biden’s decline and cognitive abilities ahead of his June debate against President Donald Trump, despite publicly maintaining that the former president was fit to serve another four years.

LOL commies dont lie..please, they NEVER EVER tell the truth about ANYTHING..EVER
James, tell me how healthy Joe Biden is. Because the entire Democrat Party, every single member, was lying about it from before he started running for the 2020 election.
Chances are Mary is holding a folder over her face anytime somebody wants to take a picture of her near James. It’s a new political thing, like the governor of Michigan.
Credibility James?... Seriously?
Credibility James?... Seriously?
Screw his stupid rino wife. She’s a phony.
OMG his nose is growing to the Moon
He is doing harm to the United States.
He is a paid liar. The Dems just try and overwhelm the media hoping to capture young immature minds with their “completely out of touch with real life” narratives.
Carville will be lying in his grave. No lie.
“James Carville says Democrats can’t afford to lie like ‘Republicans do’ because they would lose credibility”
ROTFLOL! Great Babylon Bee headline?
Wait? What? That’s REAL?
Even funnier!
Assuming of course, it’s socially acceptable to guffaw at your opponent’s slow loss of contact with reality ...
Though of course there’s always the possibility that this version of James Carville is the one from Bizarro World ...
Video....
The city that never sleeps.
No one feels secure enough to risk it.
“Carville lives in a world where everything is reversed. He is seriously mentally ill.”
OR this is the Carville from Bizarro World where everything IS reversed ...
Carville forgets dems brought this behemoth open border disaster upon America and we may never recover from it. Illegals, CCP, muslims, criminals, crazy killers and the other dregs of the World’s Society are now living in our Communities and the dems ignore what they have done blaming others.
Video....
I remember it used to be illegal to make a video of the inside of a New York subway car.
So I was going to say this guy could sue and the justice system would ruin the life of the one who made this video.
Now I see it’s “generally” legal unless tripods and lights are used.
But Roman Law firm’s site cautions:
Privacy Considerations.
You need to respect the privacy rights of those you photograph or video in the subway. Under Section 50 of the New York Civil Rights Law, individuals enjoy certain rights with respect to their name, likeness, and voice (or any reasonably identifiable facsimile thereof).
The democRATs worship satan, the father of lies. What they call lies we call the truth.
Can one have an expectation of privacy when in a public place such as the subway?
