Carville Trashes Kamala Again: ‘Started Our 7th-String Quarterback’

Democrat James Carville again roasted former Vice President Kamala Harris, the former presidential nominee of the Democrat Party, during an episode of the “Firing Line” podcast alongside Republican Mike Murphy.

The strategist referred to her as the Democrats’ ‘7th string quarterback” during the show, adding to his previous critiques of her.

“We ran a presidential election. If we were playing a Super Bowl, we started our 7th-string quarterback. That’s what happened,” the strategist said.

“You can’t address a problem unless you’re honest about a problem. And none of this was inevitable. Now, if you were to put the staggering talent that exists in today’s Democratic Party, you heard what I said?” Carville added.

“If you had the staggering talent that exists in today’s Democratic Party, and people would have seen that, they’d have gone, I didn’t know they had people like that, can actually complete a sentence, okay, that actually can know how to frame a message, that actually have a sense of accomplishment of doing something. If we would have excited people, and we would have had people from the middle of the country, we would have had people from the coast, we’d have been diverse, we’d have been, and then when you do that, that’s how people get involved in politics. We have not had an inspirational presidential candidate since 2012. That’s a problem,” he continued before Murphy chimed in.

“When you have a primary and a contest like the playoff, you get a big winner, and that credentials the nominee. They earn it. James suggested earlier, and I was 1,000% for this, we can have a short primary here instead of anointing somebody,” Murphy offered.

“And I got called to like a secret meeting with a bunch of senior White House people after the terrible Biden debate with some other non-Trump, Trump-opposing Republicans. And I said, this Carville thing is right. Go to a meeting, let Whitmer go beat somebody, or if Kamala’s that good, let her beat somebody to make her somebody, not just an appointment. She was nominated on a telephone conference call,” he added.
