James Carville says Democrats cannot afford to lie like ‘Republicans do’ because they would lose credibility

Democratic political strategist James Carville expressed disappointment with his party’s state in Podcast on Thursday, arguing that Republicans are able to get away from lies while Democrats are held to a higher standard of credibility.

Talking to the guest Ryan Lizza, a journalist, he said: “People tell me all the time, ‘James, why don’t we just like Republicans? Just get up and lie?” Because our f -ing people wouldn’t stand for it! “Said Carville.” If I stood up and lied, you would be the first person to say, “James Carville lost all reliability last night when he said X, Y and Z.” “

Carville, a long leader of political talks, was a senior strategist for the campaign of former President Bill Clinton in 1992.

“Yes, I can rotate,” Carville continued. “I can shadow. They all do that. They just look you straight into the eyes and lie!” He added, “and then our people say,” We must lie like them! “No, we shouldn’t! ‘Because they wouldn’t do it.

President Clinton was blamed in 1998 by the House of Representatives on charges of destruction and obstruction of justice related to his testimony of a relationship with White House practitioner Monica Lewinsky.

The issue of authenticity came out recently during the 2024 elections. A new book claimed that the Democrats had major concerns about the fall of former President Joe Biden and cognitive abilities before his June debate against President Donald Trump, despite publicly claiming that the former president was suitable for another four years.

In Podcast, Carville also moved to President Donald Trump’s tariff policy, accusing him of pushing other countries in closer relations with “a hated country like China” because they cannot predict the American trade strategy.

The political operative recently made titles after he argued with the Vice President of the Democratic National Committee David Hogg for the best strategy to help the party win the elections in a lit debate on Wednesday. Tensions between the two began weeks ago when Hogg announced plans to spend $ 20 million through leaders of his political organization, we deserve to challenge the oldest Democrats in the blue districts.

Carville, one of the most influential voices in the Democratic Party calling on former President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, has responded to the division among Democrats for Biden’s role.

“And I think it’s right to say that we are long, to some extent, admirers of Joe Biden,” Carville said in his podcast in January. “What he has done to himself is, no one wants to hear from this guy anymore, well?”
