Thursday on the “Politicon” podcast, Democratic strategist James Carville said Charlie Kirk “was not a pimple” on filmmaker Rob Reiner’s ass. While discussing Reiner’s legacy, Carville said, “Charlie Kirk, there was this thing, some kindergarten teachers forwarded some things he said about women. I would urge anybody to look at that. And they fired, you know, fired him. Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t want anybody to get shot. He had young kids. I hate that, but Charlie Kirk was not a pimple on Rob Reiner’s *ss when it comes to influence, and it comes to impact when it comes to...

As has been made shockingly clear since the assassination of peaceful activist Charlie Kirk, Democrats now don’t even bother to rein in rhetoric that celebrates and incites violence against their political opponents, whom they justify hating and killing by declaring them fascists and Nazis. Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville’s recent outburst, for example, demonstrates that they are ready to bring back the most disturbing excesses of Mao’s Cultural Revolution. Wednesday on his Politics War Room podcast, the 80-year-old cadaverous crank Carville unleashed a chilling vision for retribution against those he deems “collaborators” with President Donald Trump. “You know what we...

Democratic strategist James Carville predicted on his "Politics War Room" podcast that Democrats will win the 2028 presidential election and move to expand the Supreme Court. CARVILLE: So I want to talk to Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Alito, Justice Barrett, Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Gorsuch. I might be forgetting one. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that, I know that. It's going to be a Democratic House. It's going to be a Democratic Senate. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on...

Emboldened by Tuesday’s encouraging election results, veteran political strategist James Carville said he would “bet money” that Democrats will not only win the presidency in 2028, but then proceed to pack the Supreme Court to ensure permanent one party rule. While taking questions during Thursday’s installment of he and co-host Al Hunt’s “Politics War Room,” one listener asked how the Biden Administration could have prepared for “the possibility of Trump winning a second term.” While Hunt argued in favor of new legislation and guardrails, Carville gleefully predicted that the next Democrat president will fundamentally redefine American government. “I’m going to...

Democrat strategist James Carville recently criticized former President Joe Biden’s (D) son, Hunter, saying he simply needs to shut his mouth. During an episode of the podcast Politics War Room with Al Hunt, Hunt recalled a 2024 event where Hunter became angry after former President Barack Obama helped his father off a stage. Hunt said, “For God’s sakes, he needed to be helped off the stage. He was a doddering old man.” Hunt went on to say the Democrat Party has “a lot of problems.” Carville then added his thoughts. He said, “And we’ll talk about in terms of Hunter...

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville caused outrage and renewed partisan tensions this week after remarks in which he described a “fantasy” scenario of public humiliation for supporters of President Donald Trump and institutions that align with him. The comments came during an appearance on the podcast Politics War Room with co-host Al Hunt, and quickly drew attention for their provocative imagery and historical reference points. Carville accused Trump of being a “tin-pot tyrant” with “no use for democracy” and warned that companies, universities and law firms who “bend the knee” to his agenda will face more than political consequences —...

Veteran Democratic Party strategist James Carville blasted some liberals for still failing to evolve past certain far-left policies he has blamed repeatedly for sinking the party in the past. Discussing the issue on Thursday’s “Politics War Room” podcast, Carville said those on the left who promote trans inclusion in women’s sports are trying to score a “cheap political point with a bunch of left-wing zombies.” He added that they’re “ruining the women that work their a–es off, that compete.” Betty Yee, former state controller and Democratic candidate for the governorship of California, argued on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” that there should...

Democratic Party strategist James Carville unleashed fury over the DNC’s recent summer meeting, which opened with a “land acknowledgement” and pushed progressive social policies that Carville has long called on the party to abandon. “Let’s talk about the land for a second,” said Lindy Sowmick, treasurer of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (DFL) and self-styled “indigenous queer woman,” at the start of the party’s annual summer meeting. “The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate – the Dakota people – who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis,” Sowmick continued. “The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes...

Nothing says "saving democracy" and "preserving norms" like totally rigging the system. It's like calling sterilizing and mutilating children "care." A complete inversion of reality wrapped up in comforting words. Since at least 2016, the Democrats have focused all their attention on rigging elections, both within their own party and for the electorate as a whole. As the Democrats have seen their coalition disintegrate, they have responded by employing ever more Byzantine tactics to ensure victory. Not that victories have been ensured, yet...they have only stacked the deck in their favor...so they move on to the next step. Let's take...

Democratic strategist James Carville ripped Democrats for their lack of unity and warned that the party is “steamrolling toward a civilized civil war” in a new essay. “Constipated. Leaderless. Confused. A cracked-out clown car. Divided,” Carville wrote in a Monday guest essay published in The New York Times. “These are the words I hear my fellow Democrats using to describe our party as of late. The truth is they’re not wrong: The Democratic Party is in shambles.” Carville said that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s win in the city’s primary “represents an undeniable fissure in our political soul.”...

Democratic strategist James Carville ranted on his Thursday podcast about the political damage diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has inflicted on his party. Democrats have repeatedly pushed DEI agendas, including in the government under former President Joe Biden’s administration. In response to a “Politics War Room” listener’s question asking why Democrats are “fighting so hard for DEI,” Carville asserted the premise of the question was wrong, claiming it is now a universal belief that DEI is disastrous — before clarifying his criticism was broader than just DEI. WATCH: VIDEO AT LINK............. “They don’t [fight for DEI]. And everybody is trying...

Veteran strategist warns Zohran Mamdani's win could damage party nationwide after shocking defeat of Andrew Cuomo Veteran strategist James Carville warned on Wednesday how democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani winning the New York City mayoral primary may be a burden for the Democratic Party. Mamdani, a Ugandan-born New York State Assemblyman from Queens, caused a major upset by defeating former Gov.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that the “Democratic Party has been the most effective political party in the history of the world.” Host Will Cain said, “I think you’ve got a deeper problem in the way that the left is talking about America.” Carville said, “If I take everything that they all said, it wouldn’t amount to what Mike Lee said, who’s actually a United States Senator who actually said something very harmful and very hurtful and is not apologize for it. So, I mean, we can go on. I mean,...

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...

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.

Carville attacked Hogg's plan as the "most insane thing" he'd ever heard and questioned whether he was breaching his "fiduciary...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that President Donald Trump’s poll numbers are going to get worse. During an appearance on Fox News, political analyst Karl Rove said, “When it comes to the economy, this is where it’s a little trickier, and this is where his numbers have gone south.” Carville said, “So I watch Karl, and he’s exactly right. When you’ve seen a lot of polls like Karl has in his career or I’ve seen or it’s worse than you think when you look at, you know, sometimes you look at a poll and you...

"I don't know if I have standing, but I might give the DNC $10 to sue him. He's a contemptible little twerp if you ask me."

Democratic strategist James Carville said that the Democrat Party’s “top agenda” needs to be focused on retrieving deported El Salvadoran Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is accused of being an MS-13 gang member. “People say, ‘Well, should we really fight on this turf or should we fight more on ordinary people?’ This we should fight on. You can’t pivot to an economic issue. This is why we think we’re a country,” Carville said on his “Politics War Room” podcast. Watch

Mr. “It’s the economy, stupid” James Carville is scheming how to exploit the economy for hapless Democrats to use as a political cudgel against President Donald Trump. Carville’s latest guest essay for The New York Times, “How to Turn Trump’s Economic Chaos Against Him,” scrambled to find some silver lining to Congressional Democrats’ political woes, given that they’re currently “underwater” with their own voter base according to Politico March 31. In Carville’s 20th century worldview, Trump violated the “cardinal rule” of American politics by supposedly “destabiliz[ing] the economy” with his tariffs, despite the fact that this was one of his...
