James Carville warns Mamdani to keep ‘globalize the intifada’ phrase ‘out your mouth’
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 7/10/25 | Alexander Hall,

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville blasted New York democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which is associated with violence against Israel.

Queens, New York State assemblyman Mamdani, a Ugandan-born Muslim with Indian heritage, won the race to become the Democratic Party’s nominee for New York City mayor, but Republicans and even some Democrats have blasted the democratic socialist as too extreme.

Carville called Mamdani out during an appearance Tuesday on “The People’s Cabinet” podcast after host Daniel Koh mentioned the popularity of some of his economic ideas in New York City.

While Carville agreed the emphasis on affordability is similar to some of his own core ideas, he noted that there are generational sea changes happening in politics.

“One of the big changes is Israel just doesn’t hold much sway with younger Jewish voters,” Carville said.

However, he bemoaned the fact that Mamdani still won’t condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada.”

“Yeah, I mean, come on, man, just, s—, just get it out your mouth,” Carville said in frustration.

“Why do you think he won’t do that?” Koh asked. “I mean, that seems to be a pretty non-controversial thing to condemn, right?”

“His father is an academic, and I think ‘intifada’ has different meanings to different people, alright?” Carville suggested. “To some it means kind of ‘opposition.’ To most people, myself, it means, you know, ‘violence.’”

**SNIP**

“Look, I’m as befuddled as you are,” Carville added. “And he’s been given every opportunity to walk it back, okay, so I am quite befuddled by it. And people that I have an enormous respect for, Jonathan Chait and Hakeem Jeffries, are like, ‘Come on, man.’ S—, this ain’t this hard. I mean, you could just see the angst in their voice.”

Demographic trends are only going make issues like this get worse over time.

And our media, academia, and politicians bend lower and lower to it.

Carville is no dummy. He’s got to know that what’s important is not what Mamdani is saying. It’s what he’s thinking.

In some respects, Carville is acting like the Prussian elite did during the rise of the Nazis.

The Prussian elite: We can control the Nazi rabble, and use them for our own purposes.
The Nazis: Don’t bet on that.

That’s the typical Democrat party plan: don’t tell the voters what you really are going to do, you might not get elected.

Carville demonstrates democrat tactics - fool the voters, lies of omission and just plain lies.

Carville, shut TF up. You and your fellow dems made this Frankenstein monster, now you want him to shut up. I want him to talk often and loudly so others can see what the next generation of dem degenerates looks like.

Deglobalize barbarian anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life individuals and collectives from the planet.

that the Dems allowed this extreme leftist to run in their primary says it all. he only confirms the direction party has taken over last 25 years - antisemitic, anarchist, collectivist, authoritarian.

Most democRATS understand that it is necessary to hide the truth until absolute power is achieved. Newbies like Mamdani don’t understand this yet.

IOW, Stop telling people what you’re really all about or you won’t get elected.

Lie to them instead and then when you get into office, do whatever you want anyways. They can’t stop you then.

It’s not that it is in his mouth. It’s rotted out his brain.

It came out of this Mandani's mouth once, twice, many times. He can't walk it back. He can't disavow it. Any disavowal would be disingenuous. Probably the best thing would be if Curtis Sliwa and his boys got together and "silenced" Mandani for good.

Memo to James - Mamdani hates centrist Dems like you more than he hates Trump.

So Carville joins the Democrat chorus “We just need to improve our message.”

It seems to me Trump almost guarantees a Mamdani win by coming out against him. Given the depth and level of Trump derangement syndrome in NY I’d be willing to bet NYers would come out in droves over broken glass to vote against Trump. Only 20’percent of registered voters have even bothered in the late elections. There must be a million of them out there that would love taking a swipe at Trump.

Exactly. Stick to the more traditional "Death to America and Israel!"
