Democrat strategist James Carville said during an interview over the weekend that if Democrats lose in the upcoming November elections that Israel will be to blame.
Carville made the remarks during a Sunday MSNBC interview with former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki while talking about Israel’s response to Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack.
“This Gaza stuff, this is not just a problem with some snot-nosed Ivy League people,” he said. “This is a problem all across the country. And I hope the president and Blinken can get this thing calmed down because if it doesn’t get calmed down before the Democratic convention, it’s going to be a very ugly time in Chicago. I promise you that.
“No matter what happens, I know it’s a huge problem,” he claimed. “And the uncommitted will do fairly well. And Trump got 60% in the South Carolina Republican primary and we had idiots in the press saying he ran away with it. Well McCarthy got 40% in New Hampshire and that got Lyndon Johnson out of the race. So uncommitted gets 40%, that’s going to be not a particularly positive sign. But we already know. You and I know that this is a problem in the party. And I think the president knows that, really knows that, he’s being told that. And they’re gonna have to tell Bibi Netanyahu, ‘Hey, dude, we are not going to lose our election because you stand to go to jail. You have to think of something else.'”
Carville demonized Netanyahu, claiming that he showed “negligence” and that the U.S. “should be putting pressure on him every way we can to de-escalate this thing, and quickly.”
