James Carville Slams Media For 'Fair' Takes Of Trump's Gun-Filled Fantasy About Liz Cheney
HuffPost
The Democratic strategist said "these people are so f**king stupid" for comparing Donald Trump's violent rhetoric to Vice President Kamala Harris' minor gaffes.
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is slamming mainstream media outlets for being unnecessarily “fair” to Donald Trump, whose recent comments about how former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) would handle being shot at caused outrage from high-ranking Democrats.
“The people that I find most loathsome, and the wormiest, slimiest people in this, is what I call the truth-teller caucus,” Carville said Friday in a video for Politicon. “They’re the people … burdened with the obligation to ‘the truth’ — and you see these asswipes everywhere.”
Carville was referring to journalists who “talk about polling averages” and interview Pennsylvanian diners to “get some wisdom” about the presidential election — while equivocating Trump’s violent comments with minor gaffes or policy quibbles from his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Carville slammed this “centrist approach,” before delivering an extremely sarcastic hypothetical to argue his point.
“Let’s say Donald Trump wants a nine-person firing squad to execute Liz Cheney,” he said. “OK, is the middle position a four-person firing squad or a five-person firing squad? Now, it’s a very important question, because we got to take ideas from both parties and meld them together.”
