Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville called-out his own party’s obsession with being “woke” this week; saying some progressives need to spend time in a “woke detox center.”
“Looking at these results, what went wrong?” asked a reporter with PBS.
“What went wrong was this stupid wokeness. Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey. Look at Long Island, Buffalo, Minneapolis, Seattle… This ‘Defund the Police’ lunacy, people see that!” said Carville.
“It’s having a suppressive effect. Some of these people need to go to a Woke Detox Center. There’s a backlash and a frustration at that!” he added.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spoke with reporters at the US Capitol Wednesday following a major Republican victory in Virginia and potential win in New Jersey, saying he hopes to turn 60 seats red during the 2022 midterm elections.
“If you’re a Democrat and President Biden won your seat by 16 points, you’re in a competitive race next year. You are no longer safe,” McCarthy told reporters.

“It’ll be more than 70 [Democratic seats] that will be competitive. There’s many that are going to lose their races based upon walking off a cliff from [Speaker] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] pushing them,” he continued. “She may not care if she lose. She lost 63 the last time she was Speaker moving policy that the country didn’t care for.
“Many believe she won’t stay around,” he added.
“Are you going to bring President Biden with his policies into your district to defend you? Are you going to bring the vice president? Terry McAuliffe did, and look what happened to him,” McCarthy warned.

CARVILLE ON DEMS: ‘Elizabeth Warren Hates Bloomberg More Than She Wants to Win’
Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville weighed-in Wednesday on the tenth Democratic Debate in South Carolina; saying it’s clear that Elizabeth Warren “hates Michael Bloomberg” more than she wants to win the White House.
“The takeaway is that Elizabeth Warren hates Michael Bloomberg more than she wants to win… I think she doesn’t want to attack Bernie because she’s scared she’s going to get primaried in 2024,” said Carville.

CARVILLE TO DEMOCRATS: ‘We’re Losing Our Damn Minds, I’m Scared to Death, Get Your S*** Together!’
Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville did not mince words when discussing the 2020 contenders in a recent interview; saying he’s “Scared to Death” while telling the party to “Get your s*** together!”
“What’s gone wrong? Who’s responsible?” asked Vox’s Sean Illing.
“It’s like we’re losing our damn minds. Someone’s got to step their game up here… We have candidates on the debate stage talking about open borders and decriminalizing illegal immigration. They’re talking about doing away with nuclear energy and fracking. You’ve got Bernie Sanders talking about letting criminals and terrorists vote from jail cells. It doesn’t matter what you think about any of that, or if there are good arguments — talking about that is not how you win a national election. It’s not how you become a majoritarian party,” said Carville.

“Most of the people aren’t into all this distracting s*** about open borders and letting prisoners vote. They don’t care. They have lives to lead. They have kids. They have parents that are sick. That’s what we have to talk about. That’s all we should talk about,” he added.
