WASHINGTON, July 12 (DC Times Online) — James Carville used a Politicon video on Friday to blast left-wing Democrats, warning that the party could repeat the kind of defeat that helped elect Donald Trump in 2016 if it keeps embracing insurgent candidates.

Carville pointed to recent primary wins by Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Melat Kiros as examples of what he called a damaging turn inside the party. He said Democrats should not “fall for the allure of false prophets” and argued, “It’s not both parties’ faults!”

He also singled out Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed, accusing the far left of running against both parties. Carville said, “These people are so f—ing stupid I don’t know what to say about it,” and, “You are part of the problem because you’re a f—ing idiot!”

Carville framed the dispute as a warning about the party’s electoral future, saying Democrats risked repeating the 2016 outcome if they keep turning against their own members and the broader political center.
