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.

telling the truth?
But if someone takes your image, and saves it, and disseminates it, against your permission, that may fall under copyright law...just copyright your image and sue everyone disseminating your image.
A woman at work told me about 10 years ago that my idea was outdated. I continued to believe what was true at one time, namely, if you take a photo or video and there are background people in the frame, you have to get signed permissions (or blur them) before publishing the photo or video. She said no one has that right to privacy any longer.
Nobody ever would have heard of Carville had he not worked for Toon...Jan 25, 1998 · “Clinton’s an unusually good liar. Unusually good. Do you realize that?” –Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.), in a 1995 interview
Wait, is this the Bee?
Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility
by who?
certainly not by the leftist legacy media
Democrats have credibility!!!???
Even for an Ella’s Shoe graduate Carville is a moron. It is terrible what inbreeding and untreated syphilis can do to a swamp critter.
He’s been smoking too many crawdads again
Carville won the internet. Hilarious.
Time for AI to make “Carville’s Smoking Crawdads Again” along the lines of this:

The position they have, which they created, has caused the loss of credibility.
They need to find a way to regain credibility to win.
Fortunately, no one has emerged.
Really, James? You ran around in the weeks before the election saying Harris would win. Are you incompetent? Or were you lying? When that ridiculous Iowa poll came out the Sunday before the election, showing Harris taking Iowa, you didn’t rush to the microphone saying, ‘that’s crazy’. So are you a fool? Or were you lying?
He’s too smart to be fooled by these things. He’s a cold blooded liar. True scum.
Says the campaign manager for Bill Clinton, the biggest serial liar in American history.
I think turning loose Carville with a microphone in front of a camera was a mistake. It is sad. He actually thinks he is orchestrating reality in his favor.
lololololol
When has a Democrat ever told the truth?
I thought it was bee
Hey JC, I’ve got some bad news for you.
