Democratic strategist James Carville and Democratic National Committee vice chair David Hogg sparred over the best strategy to help the party win elections in a heated debate on Wednesday.
Tensions between the two began weeks earlier when Hogg announced plans to spend $20 million through his political organization Leaders We Deserve to primary-challenge older Democrats in blue districts. Democrats were split on this strategy, with some anonymous committee members calling out Hogg for spending money on Democratic primaries over beating Republicans.
Carville attacked Hogg's plan as the "most insane thing" he'd ever heard and questioned whether he was breaching his "fiduciary duty" as a party head.
"Does he really think the problem that we‘re facing in the United States today is because we got 65-year-old Democrats in office? Why don’t you take on a Republican? That‘s your job," Carville asserted on CNN.
He also referred to Hogg as a "contemptible little twerp" in a comment on NewsNation, which Hogg responded to on CNN shortly afterward.
"Carville believes in a politics of being timid, of hiding. I believe in fighting, and that is what people want to see right now from the Democratic Party," Hogg said.
The two finally met to hash out their differences on "The Tara Palmeri Show" on Wednesday. When the topic of Hogg’s primary plan came up, Carville criticized it as "abominable" and "jacka--ery of the highest level" for prioritizing pushing out Democrats over beating Republicans. Hogg shot back that the party is capable of both.
"You have to understand the nuance here—" Hogg said.
"I don't," Carville interrupted as the two began talking over each other. "There's no nuance to it. It's just flat-out wrong. That’s money that could be used..."

carville is a contemptible POS and he should die already.
Hogg is a 1984 better than you pig.
I love the sound of dims fighting. But Carville better be careful, the commie young are taught to kill the olds.
“carville is a contemptible POS and he should die already.”
What has that got to do with anything? Young Hogg is what this country needs, and lots more of them. AOC + Hogg will whip JD Vance in 2028.
Squeal like a pig, Davey!
Whach you talking about, Willis?
He has one job.
There is something unsettling about Hogg. He is the epitome of the phrase, Do not be surprised at the things weak men do. I swear he is a modern day Adolf Hitler. Look at his weak jaw line. Nothing masculine.
And hogg is one of the most obnoxious little $hits this country has ever produced
”C’mon you guys, quit Stalin around and let’s crush the NRA.”
Captioned by FReeper frank ballenger.
Some call it a "rebranding" of the party but in reality it's a generational war. The dems will deny it, of course, because they don't want to lose the boomer vote, but Hogg is there to clean out the old guard in D.C.
I’m not sure who is more detestable: Hogg or Carville. Both would happily take away all my rights. Carville would lie about it, and pretend it wasn’t happening, ala Joe Biden, but I’d lose my rights just the same. Hogg is very honest about wanting to take my rights. I’m not sure if I should give him credit for that or not.
Hogg is committed Commie. He’s the kind who slaughtered people in Maoist China. Not sure Carville is that evil. The Hogg’s of the world are easier to defeat because they rarely wear a mask.
I’d like to see Carville knock the crap out of the little Nazi Harvard biatch.
Arent we Republicans loving this?
Democrat honcho Carville attacked Hogg’s plan to spend $20 million to primary older Democrats in blue districts as the “most insane thing” he’d ever heard and questioned whether Hogg was breaching his “fiduciary duty” as a party head.

Why don’t you take on a Republican? That‘s your job,” Carville asserted.

Carville should have been smarter to know the new guard of every socialist revolution kills the founders.
Carville is just protecting his turf. All the people of influence in the Dem party that he has connections with (ie, get money from) are the old guard. If Hogg takes them out, he will lose his gravy train. That’s why he’s all worked up over it.
Whatever you are smoking I would like you to send me some. That must be serious smoke. LOL
Delusional BS! Go back to DU!
