James Carville: I’m recruiting “pedophiles” to run against Republicans

By:

Days after sweeping election victories for the Democratic Party in last week’s general election, longtime Democratic strategist James Carville is so confident in the future of the party, he believes even a “pedophile” could be a Republican in the next election.

Carville, long known for his off-color comments, claimed last Wednesday that he could recruit a “convicted pedophile” and coach that candidate to a win over a Republican.

Carville made the sick comment on his “Politics War Room” podcast seemingly in reference to Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones, who won his election despite having once texted a colleague about wishing violence on his Republican opponent.

“I’m personally going to find a convicted pedophile and run him in a race just to see if he could beat a Republican. I’m not sure. I’m not going to say that a convicted pedophile could win,” Carville said.

“And by the way, the guy that was running against [Jones] ran a pretty good campaign,” Carville continued, talking about incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares (R-VA).

“He ran ads … if you think … the most interesting thing, drum roll, I’m going to give y’all the most interesting piece of news of the cycle, even more interesting than Bucks County. The Republican legislator who released the texts lost. And Jay won.”

“I mean it’s just — just a little tidbit. Hey, you got some baggage out there with Trump, people. Just know that,” Carville added.

Take a listen for yourself —

This is not the first time Carville has made disturbing, off-color comments about Republican rivals.

In late October, Carville argued that President Donald Trump’s “collaborators” should be treated like Nazis in post-war Europe, and be paraded through the streets in orange jumpsuits with their heads shaved so that the people could spit on them.

“You know what we do with collaborators?” Carville said on his podcast at the time. “I think that these corporations — my fantasy dream is that this nightmare ends in 2029, and I think we ought to have radical — I think they all ought to have their heads shaven. They should be put in orange pajamas, and they should be marched down Pennsylvania Avenue. And the public should be invited to spit on them.”
