James Carville goes nuclear on Jeffries over Jared Kushner sit-down and demands Democrats draw a line

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville tore into House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., on Monday, over his meeting with U.S. special envoy, Jared Kushner, saying Democrats of every viewpoint agree on one thing: they don't sit down with President Donald Trump 's inner circle.

The takedown came just days after news broke that Jeffries had sat down with Trump’s son-in-law to discuss housing, immigration and high living costs as possible categories of common ground, The New York Times first reported .

"Let me try to explain something," Carville said .

"And Hakeem, you’re a smart guy.

Let me explain something here, very, very clear.

You have Democrats that have a different position on Medicare for all, whether that’s a good idea.

You have Democrats that have different positions on effective policing, and there’s a whole variety of subjects of which there are some disagreements within the Democratic Party ." HAKEEM JEFFRIES REJECTS MEDICARE FOR ALL, DSA AGENDA AS RO KHANNA CALLS HEALTH PLAN 'MOST IMPORTANT PRIORITY' Despite the seemingly good-faith meeting, Carville told Jeffries that Democrats’ ability to find compromise does not extend across party lines.

"On one thing, on one thing, there is no disagreement," he said.

"There’s unanimity.

And it is simply this: in the opinion of every Democrat in the United States, progressive, moderate, middle road, left, f---, I don’t know whatever you want, we believe one thing above all." CARVILLE UNLOADS ON DSA SOCIALISTS: 'DON'T USE OUR GOD---- NAME' "These people are a pack of felons and traitors, and you do not meet with them.

You do not meet with them," Carville continued.

Carville went on to offer his own suggestion for what he believes the best course of action would be for Democrats looking to see eye-to-eye with Kushner.

"We need to drag [Kushner’s] a-- before a committee and find out what backdoor-dealing, w----house s--- he's got going on with Steve Whitcomb and everybody else," Carville said.

"We're not going to be nice to you.
