James Carville fired back at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for calling him "a political hack," calling the self-described democratic socialist "a communist."
The back and forth follows a week in which Carville has repeatedly sounded the alarm about a potential Sanders matchup against President Trump in November, calling the scenario "the end of days" for the Democratic Party while referring to Sanders supporters as "a cult."
Sanders returned fire on Wednesday night during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, arguing that "political hack" Carville represents the establishment his campaign is running against.
"James, in all due respect, is a political hack," Sanders said. "We are taking on Trump, the Republican establishment, Carville and the Democratic establishment. But at the end of the day, the grassroots movement that we are putting together -- of young people, of working people, of people of color -- want real change."
Carville, who worked as a campaign strategist for former President Clinton, escalated the feud Thursday on Snapchat with former CNN reporter Peter Hamby.
"Last night on CNN, Bernie Sanders called me a political hack,” Carville said. “That’s exactly who the f--- I am! I am a political hack! I am not an ideologue. I am not a purist. He thinks it’s a pejorative. I kinda like it! At least I’m not a communist.”
Trump also recently referred to Sanders as a communist.

Never thought I’d say this, but I’m enjoying watching old snake head.
Pass the popcorn!
And interview him some more!
They are both right. Snakehead is a political hack. And Sanders is a
Communist.
Rat Fight.

Are the pigs flying solo or in groups?
“... ‘At least I’m not a communist’...”
Well gee whiz, Jimmy Carville... you’re entire party sure as Hell is, and you support them. Were you sleeping or something from 2008-2016??? Drunk, maybe? Stoned???
And alllllllll these years while Comrade Bernie was in the Senate, sucking off the Taxpayer tit and voting with everything you guys wanted, you said nothing, you did nothing, and you uttered not a single word of protest that a Communist was part and parcel of your party.
But all of sudden, NOW it’s a problem??
Suck on it, Carville.
Good stuff here. LOL
AttaBoy, LizardFace
Let the old Commie con have it
Geaux Carville !
I love when they go after each other. It’s especially entertaining to see the DNC use the exact same playbook against Bernie that they did against President Trump.
Democrats aren’t smart, they aren’t creative, but they are incredibly persistent.
I loCarvill. Too bad not a conservative.
Blue on blue hate is so hot.
Someone has to sit James down, and explain to him that he is a Commie enabler.
Looks like the Establishment has given Carville a short-term contract with instructions to bring Bernie down. It won’t work.The old commie has taken root and is about to destroy the Ds.
I am very grateful and appreciative of the fact that in all these long years of hit war in the Middle East and Southwest Asia ,we have trained, deployed ,and now have back among us 10’s of 1000’s of highly trained and experienced military snipers. Gentlemen who can hit targets out at well over 1000 yards. No problem. So nice that many of them keep their skills up to par and now maintain their own private weapons systems.
Coonass v. communist ...I know who my money ie on!
I’ve always thought that to Carville, politics was just a job. Half of his crap even he doesn’t believe, but he knows a lot of voters are idiots.
That was even before he married Mary Matalin.
“At least I don’t SAY I’m a communist!”
Fixed.
Two old Rats fighting it out!
LOL at the name calling on who’s the worse!!
Carville to Sanders...OK Boomer!
