Former Clinton adviser James Carville has brutally mocked the far-left shift of his own party, noting that “all Democrats do is” push “woke” talking points.
Carville, a longtime Democratic Party strategist, called out the Democrats for being weak during an appearance on CNNโs โOutFront.โ
He was responding to the bombshell SCOTUS leak that reveals plans to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade ruling on abortion.
CNNโs Erin Burnett said, โSo what Democrats have been talking about, now look, itโs 48 hours past the Roe vs. Wade news, so who knows where things are going to go, but they say weโll motivate our base on this.
“Hillary Clinton went on CBS and talked about it โ that the outrage that people will feel will get people to come to the polls.
“Do you think thatโs true?โ
Carville said, โWell, I donโt know.
“Iโm like a lot of dads today, been fielding calls from angry and distraught daughters.
“I think thatโs going on all over the United States.
“To date, they have no fear of Democrats.
โThatโs why they do this,” Carville continued.
“Democrats, you have to understand how significant this is in politics.
“Democrats have won the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections.
“Roe is over 2-to-1 in approval.
โAnd [Justice] Alito and [the rest of the Supreme Court] said they say we donโt care, weโre not fair, and we donโt care.
“All Democrats are going to do is sit around and talk about veganism and pronouns.
โTo some extent, that is a justified opinion they have.
โNow I hope that Hillary Clinton is correct.
โI hope that people understand that in Louisiana, the legislature passed a bill today out of a committee that would make a 20-year-old scared young female who chooses to get an abortion charged with homicide.
โIn Texas, the governor will challenge the right of public education for children.
โIn Oklahoma, they are passing bills you canโt even get an abortion in case of the life of the mother.
โIf this doesnโt motivate people if this doesnโt get you going, then I canโt do anything to help you.
โAnd Iโll tell you whoโs not helping is these progressive advocacy groups.
โNo one cares what they say, no one fears them.
โThey need to start dispatching people to Georgia and North Carolina and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Michigan and Nevada and Arizona and places like that.
โGet out of Washington and get out of talking points and get out there in the field and start registering people and motivating people.
โThatโs what I think.โ
