Carville Melts Down at MAGA's Nemesis for Kushner Meeting
YouTube'/Politicon James Carville is no fan of Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Jared Kushner to find common ground, telling the Democratic minority leader bluntly, “F--k these people!” On Monday’s Politicon podcast , Carville, 81, took Jeffries to task for speaking with Donald Trump’s son-in-law at a mutual friend’s New York City apartment about immigration, housing, and affordability issues, as the New York Times reported .
Though Kushner, 45, does not have an official White House role, he has been a go-to man for the Trump administration’s attempts to end foreign conflicts.
The Times also reported that they have remained in contact since working on a criminal justice bill in Trump’s first term.
Carville was unconvinced that Jeffries, 56, should have spoken with Kushner.
“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," he began.
“On one thing, there is no disagreement.
There’s unanimity.
And it is simply this.
In the opinion of every Democrat in the United States—progressive, moderate, middle road, left, f--k, I don’t know, whatever you want—we believe one thing above all: These people are a pack of felons and traitors and you do not meet with them.
You do not meet with them!” A better alternative would be to “drag his a-- before a committee and find [out] about what backdoor-dealing whorehouse s--t he’s got going on with Steve Witkoff and everybody else,” Carville added, referring to Kushner’s partner in foreign policy negotiations .
“They’re making every backdoor bull---t deal they can.
And we don’t meet with them.
