Carville says 'woke got the crap beat out of it' in special congressional election

Veteran Democratic consultant James Carville, who first grabbed national attention as the top strategist on then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 presidential campaign, is taking aim at "wokeness" in his own party.

Carville, a Louisiana native nicknamed the "Ragin' Cajun," points to Saturday's comfortable victory by the more moderate Democrat over the more progressive rival in the special election runoff in the state's 2nd Congressional District and tells Fox News that "woke got the crap beat out of it." State Sen. Troy Carter topped state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson by 10 points in the race to fill the congressional seat left vacant earlier this year when Rep. Cedric Richmond, who represented the district for a decade, stepped down to join President Biden's administration as senior adviser and director of the Office of Public Liaison.
